Ex-Binance CEO sentenced to four months in US prison for money laundering violations

A court in Seattle has sentenced Changpeng Zhao, the founder and former CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, to four months in jail for violating US money laundering laws. The billionaire told the court that he had failed and was sorry. The sentencing comes after the defendant pleaded guilty last November and paid $50 million in fines. Plus, Zimbabweans line up at banks to withdraw cash as the new currency ZiG, the sixth since the 2009 collapse of the Zimbabwe dollar, goes into circulation.
