Donald Trump has pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. Binance has been a major supporter of Trump's crypto projects, and Trump has already made millions after Binance accepted a $2 billion investment from an Emirati fund denominated in the Trump family's USD1 stablecoin.
One of the people CZ hired to lobby for the pardon is Teresa Goody Guillén, a lawyer who has simultaneously represented the Trump World Liberty Financial project. She's also lobbied on behalf of Binance on crypto-related topics.
