Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao was sentenced to four months in prison for allowing rampant money laundering on the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

Zhao pleaded guilty in November to one count of failing to take required anti-money-laundering measures and stepped down as Binance agreed to pay $US4.3 billion ($6.6 billion) to settle related allegations. US officials said Zhao deliberately looked the other way as people conducted transactions that supported child sex abuse, the illegal drug trade and terrorism.
