informed sources revealed that Binance contacted allies of Trump last year, proposing a business deal with the Trump family as part of a plan to return the exiled company to the United States. Subsequently, negotiations began between the two parties. Representatives of the Trump family have already negotiated the financial stake in the acquisition of the US subsidiary of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, which would allow Trump to do business with the company that admitted to violating anti-money laundering requirements in 2023. Meanwhile, according to informed sources, Binance's founder CZ has been urging the Trump administration to pardon him. Previously, he was sentenced to four months in prison after pleading guilty to a related charge. It is currently unclear in what form the Trump family's stake will appear if the deal is reached, or if a pardon will be a condition. (WSJ)
