Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao’s lawyers have asked the court to reject prosecutors’ latest request to keep him in the United States until his sentencing in February.

Zhao pleaded guilty Tuesday in Seattle court to charges of violating the Bank Secrecy Act and causing a financial institution to violate the Bank Secrecy Act. He also agreed to pay a $50 million fine. The U.S. Department of Justice has resolved a criminal case involving Binance, which investigated allegations of money laundering, fraud, and sanctions violations. The cryptocurrency exchange will pay a $4.3 billion fine, one of the largest corporate settlements in U.S. history.

According to papers filed in court yesterday, the defense opposed the motion on legal grounds, with Judge Brian Tsuchida previously ruling that Zhao was not a flight risk. He also argued that the government lacked grounds for appeal.

Zhao’s legal team opposed the motion, saying defendants awaiting sentencing should be released if they are not a flight risk or a danger to the community. The defense argued that Zhao met these criteria, emphasizing that Judge Tsuchida had previously determined at a bail hearing that he was not a flight risk, his lack of prior criminal history, the non-violent nature of his offenses, and his willingness to plead guilty. was emphasized once again. The Pentagon added that Zhao is a figure of global attention and it would be impossible for him to evade the U.S. judicial system.

Moreover, Zhao’s lawyers also argued that he had no motive to flee because he could serve half his prison sentence (which could be up to 18 months) in a non-prison setting, such as home detention or community confinement. You risk incurring additional costs. They also argued that Zhao’s home and family in the UAE did not pose a flight risk and that preventing him from returning would be punitive. “But going back would mean potentially serving a short or life sentence in prison and returning to his family, putting this matter behind him,” they said.

The defense argues that prosecutors have failed to present substantial evidence to challenge Judge Tsuchida’s decision to allow Zhao to reside in the UAE until sentencing, and the government’s suggestion that Zhao is a flight risk due to his wealth and foreign citizenship He claimed there was no basis. The defense also addressed prosecutors’ concerns about the lack of an extradition treaty between the United States and the UAE, noting that Zhao voluntarily returned to the United States to plead guilty.

CZ’s bail conditions

Zhao’s legal team reiterated that his bail conditions were substantial and agreed to a $175 million personal recognizance bond. His return is also secured by two sureties pledging cash amounts of $100,000 and $250,000 and a third surety providing U.S. real estate worth more than $5 million, which Zhao pledged to arrive in the United States two weeks before he did. He said it was proof that he had made a promise. Sentence in February.

“For these reasons, Mr. Zhao respectfully requests that the court dismiss the government’s application and allow him to return to the UAE pending a ruling,” the lawyers concluded.

For CZ, is it USA or UAE?

Prosecutors said in a filing Wednesday that Zhao, a citizen of the United Arab Emirates and Canada, “should not be allowed to return to his home in the UAE prior to sentencing on February 23 next year, given his significant flight risk.” Zhao posed.”

“Given Zhao’s significant assets, strong ties to the UAE, and the government’s inability to extradite him from the UAE, the court’s ruling that he must remain in the United States until sentencing on February 23, 2024 is favorable. . “, prosecutors said in the filing.

Magistrate Brian Tsuchida previously ruled that Zhao would be allowed to return to the UAE on appearance bail unless the court decides it will review the decision before 5pm PT on November 27. The judge required Zhao to return to the United States. Until February 9, 2024.
