«Anonymous sources», but of course … obviously, despite the arrival of Donald Trump at the White House and Republicans At the US congress, the remains of The violent anti-Crypto war of the Biden administration seem tenacious. Thus, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) is caught in the act of diffusion of Ragots and rumors concerning talks on a » equity » Donald Trump in the US branch of the group Binance. Called talks that Changpeng Zhao said » non -existent ».
The key points of this article:
The Wall Street Journal seems to have broadcast unfounded rumors concerning negotiations involving the entourage of Donald Trump and Binance US.
Changpeng Zhao, former Binance CEO, vigorously denied these allegations, qualifying them as an «invented story».
The Wall Street Journal tries to dirty two reputations in one article: those of Trump and Binance
This new scandal started from an article in the Wall Street Journal which, starting from declarations of sources anonymous reported as «close to the subject», transform some into reality. The use of conditional would have been more than rigorous, but the WSJ prefers to unroll a Narrative anti-top, anti-binance and anti-Crypto :
«Representatives of the family of President Trump led [ndlr : NON, « auraient mené », plutôt] talks to take a financial participation in the American branch of the Binance cryptocurrency exchange platform.
At the same time, the founder billionaire of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, made [ndlr : NON, « aurait fait », toujours] Pressure on Trump administration so that it grants him a grace [ndlr : CZ a pourtant fini de purger sa peine de prison plus d’1 mois avant l’élection de Trump, et plus de 3 mois avant son investiture (et sa capacité de grâce présidentielle)]. »
Extract (commented by me) from the article very dependent on the WSJ
Changpeng's response «CZ» Zhao is scathing: an «invented story»
One of the first concerned here, in this case the ex-CEO of Binance Changpeng Zhaodid not have to answer on X to the manifestly imaginary gossip Wall Street Journal. His answer is worth his weight in gold:
«Sorry to disappoint you. The WSJ article is wrong.
More than 20 people told me that the WSJ (and other media) had asked them: «Can you confirm that CZ has made an agreement to be pardoned?» ».
They probably questioned hundreds of people so that 20 of them contact me. In fact, they tried to make a story to report.
But in fact: I have never discussed an agreement with US binance with … well, anyone. (…)
It looks like the article is motivated as an attack on the president [Trump] and the crypto sector, and that the residual forces of the «anti-Crypto war» of the previous administration [de Joe Biden] are always at work. (…) «
Changpeng Zhao
Account x @cz_binance it is not using the affirmative on declarations of anonymous sources (always very practical to make you say what you want) that the «classic» media may restore their coat of arms. It is also a reminder that, although flat sewing battered in the last American elections of November 5, 2024, the Anti-Cryptos are still persisting. The difference, however, is that now players in the Bitcoin sector (BTC), such as for example Coinbasecan request accounts on the expenses of this «Operation Choke Point 2.0»and denounce his injustice.
