Odaily News: Binance founder CZ stated in an interview with CNBC at Davos, "Being pardoned by Trump three months ago, the past three months have felt even more free. I think it's more of a psychological change. It's like a heavy burden has finally been lifted. I was actually free before too, but I carried the identity of a felon. But now I am a truly free person." CZ also revealed that his pardon application was submitted through his lawyer, and the entire process was a "black box" to him. To this day, he is unclear about the specific decision-making mechanism and has never met privately with Trump, having only seen him "from a distance" at the Davos Forum.
