The founder and former chief executive of Binance, Changpeng Zhao (known as CZ), published a warning after recently getting released from prison. CZ is considered an influential thought leader in the crypto space due to the massive success of his brainchild, Binance.

Bloomberg has reported that the currently nonoperating FTX exchange (formerly the second largest one after Binance) initiated a lawsuit against Binance and Changpeng Zhao.
