NYT: "Internal warnings about the Iranian transactions surfaced last year, in the months before President Trump granted a pardon to Binance's founder, Changpeng Zhao, who had spent four months in federal prison in 2024 for his role in the firm's crimes."

Just months after receiving a presidential pardon, Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao appeared at Mar-a-Lago last week, placing himself squarely in the Trump family's crypto orbit.

"A group of internal investigators at the giant cryptocurrency exchange Binance made a series of startling discoveries last year. People in Iran had gained access to more than 1,500 accounts on the Binance platform over the previous year. About $1.7 billion had flowed from two Binance accounts to Iranian entities with links to terrorist groups.

Internal warnings about the Iranian transactions surfaced last year, in the months before Dummkopf Trumpf granted a pardon to Binance's founder, mega-goniff Changpeng Zhao, who had spent four months in federal prison in 2024 for his role in the firm's crimes. The Trumpf Crime Family's (TCF) crypto start-up, World Liberty Financial, has forged close business ties with Binance, and the sinister Changpeng Zhao was a guest this month at a conference of avaricious no-goodniks at Mar-a-Lago, the draft dodging geriatric morbidly obese pedophile's gaudy club in Palm Beach, FL. "

Along with grotesque mega-oligarchs Felon Musk and Larry Ellison, the nefarious Changpeng Zhao is in close contention to be the "Worst Person in the World."

Pretty nifty concrete demonstration of the quality of patriotism Donald Trump actually feels for the United States.
