Pushing for bigger punishment

US prosecutors aim to land a heavier 3-year jail sentence on Changpeng Zhao, the former Binance CEO who pleaded guilty to money laundering charges, overriding typical 18-month guidelines.

Zhao resigned and agreed to pay a whopping $4.2 billion penalty after Binance ignored over 100,000 potentially fraudulent transactions linked to terror groups and facilitating child exploitation.

Reduced sentence for reformation?

While out on a $175 million bond awaiting sentencing on April 30, Zhao launched Giggle Academy, offering free online classes in math, science, and finance – an intriguing pivot amid his legal troubles.

As the disgraced founder attempts to reshape his legacy through education, the question remains whether this philanthropic shift could sway judges toward a more lenient punishment.
