8-12-2023 (NEW YORK) U.S. District Judge Richard Jones in Seattle has ruled in favor of the U.S. government’s motion, requiring former Binance chief Changpeng Zhao to stay within the continental United States until his sentencing for violating U.S. anti-money laundering laws.
The decision, outlined in a court document filed on Thursday, comes after the Justice Department argued that Zhao poses a flight risk. Last month, Judge Jones had indicated that he would review the matter, leading to this recent ruling.
