Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao has denied a rumor that he had been “shot” by a United States federal law enforcement agency after it “spread widely” across a Chinese messaging platform.
In a March 4 tweet, CZ addressed the false speculations circulating on the Chinese messaging platform WeChat — claiming he was “shot” by The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) — taking the opportunity to reiterate the close working relationship that exists between Binance and the FBI.
