The Binance [BNB] controversy continues, and there has been a recent update involving its former CEO Chanpeng Zhao. Numerous reports and a recently reviewed court document confirm that the former CEO of Binance, Chanpeng Zhao, has had his guilty plea accepted. In a filing dated 6th December to a Seattle District Court, Judge Richard Jones acknowledged Zhao’s guilty plea related to one count of Bank Secrecy Act violations.The plea was submitted several weeks ago, coinciding with Binance’s $4.3 billion settlement with U.S. agencies. This also led to Zhao stepping down as CEO and agreeing to pay $150 million to regulators as part of the settlement terms.
