You're making wild accusations. It isn't true so it isn't right ppl can say there's under the table deals going on when the stakes are high for defendants.
CZ's rich. He'll have $Bs when his sentence's over so it wasn't like he couldn't afford to pay fines. He's accepted money laundering so the plea deal means CZ won't have investigators chasing him. Paying fines worked for CZ & regulators so they've agreed a plea deal he didn't bribe govt lawyers.
Great, they finally got the way out with the attorneys by paying them money under the table. It was just about the value that is under consideration for which we were waiting, that's 4.3B. I am not sure how they came to this conclusion but something must have triggered in the minds of CZ. They must have plans otherwise they wouldn't go this far to pay such a high amount to bail out of the country where they had halted their business.
Overseas they are anyway doing great business. However, they might be seeing another future within the USA that can trigger even bigger business soon. The best way to tackle this is to get bail, file for guilty operations, and restart the business USA-wide. This can again bring them the huge number of investors onboard with newer investments. Plus, we are closing towards the Halving, I am seeing some patterns here with the timeline they are going.
