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.
