Changpeng Zhao Is Planning To Sue Elizabeth Warren Over Alleged Defamatory Remarks Tied To His 2023 Conviction: Report
Binance (CRYPTO: BNB) co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao is preparing to file a lawsuit against Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) for alleged defamation related to remarks she made about his conviction, according to a report released Tuesday.
CZ Asking Warren To Retract Social Media Post?
CZ’s lawyer, Teresa Goody Guillén, told the New York Post that the former Binance CEO is preparing a letter calling for Warren to retract a social media post in which she accused him of criminal money laundering and alleged that he obtained his pardon by funding President Donald Trump’s stable coin.
Without a formal retraction, Goody Guillen said CZ plans to file a defamation lawsuit imminently against the lawmaker.
CZ reshared the X post referencing the report, but did not officially confirm the news. Guillén quoted the post saying, “Great article.” Benzinga reached out to Binance PR for confirmation.
