Whistleblowers Find $1.7Billion In Payments To Iran From Crypto Firm CEO Trump Pardoned

[skews13]

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, a possible violation of global sanctions.

Last October, Trump granted a full pardon to Binance founder Chanpeng Zhao, who had pleaded guilty to money laundering charges in 2023. Trump claimed, without any evidence, that Zhao was a political target of the Biden administration.

"Internal warnings about the Iranian transactions surfaced last year, in the months before President Trump granted a pardon to Binance’s founder ... who had spent four months in federal prison in 2024 for his role in the firm’s crimes," the report continued. "The Trump family’s crypto start-up, World Liberty Financial, has forged close business ties with Binance, and Mr. Zhao was a guest this month at a conference at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s club in Palm Beach, Fla."

"without any evidence". That's a buzz phrase the leftwing media has recently started using, but only with conservatives. It is not sufficient for a conservatives to make claims. They must now provide "evidence" (however that could be done), to the leftwing media for inspection. No such demand is ever made of leftwingers.
