CZ will be sentenced on April 30 in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Washington

On April 16, it was reported that former Binance CEO CZ will be sentenced in the US District Court for the Western District of Washington on April 30 local time, when Judge Richard Jones will hear statements from prosecutors and CZ attorneys. In November 2023, he pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act by failing to maintain effective anti-money laundering procedures.
CZ, whose actions included failing to meet required anti-money laundering standards in Binance's operations, has reached a settlement with U.S. authorities agreeing to pay $4.30 billion to resolve civil regulatory enforcement actions.
He faces a recommended sentence of 12 to 18 months, according to US sentencing guidelines, and some believe clemency is possible given CZ's guilty plea and cooperation with authorities.
