Binance CEO Richard Teng announced that Changpeng Zhao (CZ) is permanently banned from managing the cryptocurrency exchange. This comes after Zhao's conviction for money laundering and violating U.S. sanctions. The Department of Justice (DOJ) imposed the lifetime ban as part of Zhao's plea deal, countering earlier reports of a temporary suspension. Teng clarified that Zhao will not return to any operational role at Binance.
