from what i read he was charged a week ago and made a deal to plead in exchange for a cash settlement(punishment) to avoid jail/prison/extradition
a whopping $4.3billion penalty for binance and $50m for CZ personally
CZ has to pay his $50m plea settlement between now and february to get a reduced sentance (from years) to be instead 10-18months
binance has to pay(of the $4.3b):
$1.8Bill within 15 months (overall fine for crimes)
$1.6bill within 6 months (forfeiture of profits/fee's of running the business)
$0.9bill within 30days (clawback of funds sent to IRAN)
it only became unsealed and newsworthy today
Why like that? Is there any indication of pressure, so that CZ is like that?
