Binance Founder Claims Rivals Paid Millions for Pardon

Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, alleges that U.S. cryptocurrency rivals spent substantial sums to prevent his pardon. He further claims that these competitors also financed 'smear articles' aimed at disrupting Binance's operations within the United States. Zhao suggests this opposition stemmed from a desire to block Binance from conducting business in the U.S. market, highlighting intense competition and alleged underhanded tactics within the industry.
