You're making false claims. It isn't true so it isn't right ppl can say there's under the table deals when the stakes are high for them.

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.

Filthy rich! I think almost any human being in the world would agree to the hypothetical scenario that they can found a business today, build it into a multi-billion dollars empire within just six years, become a multi-billionaire, go to prison for 18 months and pay $50 million and then get released, be a free man and enjoy life. I am sure that part of the deal was CZ can go to the US whenever he wants and does not get recjected at the boarder.

But what is a bit weird are the different reports about the sentence he could be facing. Most reports say 18 months whereas there are sources stating that he could be facing up to 10 years. I assume that there was a deal about that at some point?

CZ has been a smart guy and I doubt that he kept most of his fortune in the form of BNB. I guess he is swimming in BTC and businesses and real estate all over the world. Does anyone understand how these $50 million were chosen as the fine? Is that based on his income or is that all about negotiation or some catalog?
