As far as I can tell, he didn’t “screw” anyone.

Biden pretty much put him in prison as part of his war on crypto currency.

Among the crimes CZ *admitted* to in his plea deal was money laundering for Hamas.

This is mind blowing.

I remember when he pled guilty - I’m not a crypto guy, but I do follow all manner of finance-related crimes and I thought the sleepy joe DOJ let him off far, far too easy.

The guy is a crook and a grifter of the highest order - and he *literally* facilitated terrorist money laundering.

I just cannot fathom giving this guy a pardon. His sentence was far too light and now with a pardon? He’s free to return to his grifting and terrorist money laundering.

Who knew?

I imagine he'll be quickly run out of Dodge for implying Trump did a single something that was less than Christ-like.

Changpeng Zhao, a Chinese born Canadian who also has a UAE passport. It really is “who you know”. The big money crowd really takes care of each other.

Meanwhile he hasn’t lifted a finger to rescue Tina Peters.

I bet he didn’t use “Trump coin” to screw people. He would serve every day of his sentence if he cost the Trump kids a nickel.

Not much he can do about Tina Peters, since she was convicted on State charges, which a President cannot pardon or commute. Only the Colorado Governor can....................

Harder to recue Peters because it was a State case, not federal.

But it is rare.

Some might be lefties posing as Freepers to sow discord.
But, hopefully....they are right wingers that have finally realized that they are eating the shit sandwich they ordered.
