Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>A US federal judge last month refused Binance’s former CEO to travel abroad for a scheduled medical procedure, according to court documents that were made public.<\/p>\n

Changpeng Zhao, then-CEO of the world’s biggest cryptocurrency platform, agreed in November to pay a $50 million fine and step down at the company as part of a $4.3 billion settlement, amid a lawsuit by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n

His lawyers asked Judge Richard A. Jones from the US District Court Western District of Washington on Dec. 22 for Zhao to travel to the United Arab Emirates on Jan. 4 for one to four weeks for his hospitalization and surgery, which was redacted Wednesday in court filings.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Zhao is prepared to provide significant additional property and financial security to assure his timely return, including pledging all of his equity in Binance US, which was worth $4.5 billion in the last round of fundraising 2 years ago,” his lawyers added.<\/p>\n

Zhao is expected to be sentenced Feb. 23 while he is on a $175 million release bond.<\/p>\n

Jones held a closed hearing Dec. 29 and denied Zhao\u2019s request, according to court documents.<\/p>\n
