How did Binance's Zhao Changpeng, who left Shanghai, get pardoned by Trump? — A decade of memories and industry puzzles from an old cryptocurrency person.
From the grass-roots era of Beijing's Xierqi in 2014 to Trump's pardon in 2025, Zhao Changpeng's ten-year trajectory is like a mirror, reflecting the barbaric growth of the cryptocurrency world, regulatory storms, and power struggles. Those details scattered throughout time have become the keys to unlocking the 'pardon puzzle.' 1. First Encounter: The Smoke and Fire of Xierqi and the 'Grass-Roots Era' of Cryptocurrency 1. The 'Trio' in the Beijing Yiquanhui Office In 2010, I worked as a senior product operator at the open platform of Shanda Online, owned by Chen Tianqiao. At that time, Shanda Group had invested in hundreds of companies, including Moji Weather co-founded by Zhao Dong (【人物志】Zhao Dong: The Passive Lock-in Under Iron Bars) and Douding Network where Xu Mingxing served as CTO. My job responsibility was to integrate all the products invested by Shanda into our Shanda open platform. It was during that time, when I still didn't know about Bitcoin, that I met Xu Mingxing, who was in charge of connecting their Douding Network to Shanda's open platform. On November 22, 2013, after I bought Bitcoin for the first time, I posted it on WeChat Moments, receiving hundreds of likes and comments.
【Was Secretary of State Colin Powell Severely Disciplined and Dismissed from Office?】 【Important Statement】This article is a purely fictional and simulated format, with no official authority, not corresponding to any real disciplinary inspection and supervision procedures, real individuals or events, and has no relation to Colin Powell's actual career. It does not involve real political contexts and is only for reference in text creation.
After investigation and review by the Washington D.C. Discipline Inspection and Supervision Agency, and approved by Trump, the serious disciplinary violations and illegal acts of the former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell have been concluded.
The investigation was authorized by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia in November 2025, led by Trump's ally Jenina Piro. The focus of the investigation was Powell's Senate testimony in June 2025 and expenditure records related to headquarters renovation projects. The Department of Justice issued relevant subpoenas on January 9, 2026.
Upon investigation, Powell lost his ideals and convictions, breached legal and disciplinary boundaries, resisted organizational review, colluded with others to form a united front, concealed incriminating assets, and attempted to evade punishment; he improperly accepted cash gifts, sought benefits for others during personnel adjustments and accepted bribes; using his position as U.S. Secretary of State and other roles, he sought benefits for others in areas such as engineering contracts and payment settlements, and illegally accepted large amounts of property; he adhered to the erroneous concept of 'feeding off the Fed,' abused his power, and engaged in power-for-profit misconduct, causing particularly significant losses to federal interests. Even after the 47th federal election, he continued to act without restraint, with ongoing violations and misconduct, of serious nature and extremely negative impact. At the same time, he ignored relevant regulations by accepting banquets and benefits that could influence impartial performance, displayed extravagant conduct, failed to report major personal matters as required, and exhibited poor lifestyle habits and immoral behavior, violating public officials' ethical standards, with serious circumstances.
Powell's actions constitute serious disciplinary violations and illegal acts, and are suspected of bribery crimes, with severe nature and extremely negative impact, warranting strict handling. According to relevant regulations, after review by the Washington D.C. Discipline Inspection and Supervision Agency and approval by Trump, it has been decided to dismiss Powell from public office; confiscate his illegally obtained gains; and refer his suspected criminal case to judicial authorities for legal review and prosecution, with all involved assets transferred together with the case.
#周杰伦 Now, besides releasing albums, he's deeply focused on other things, such as playing at the Australian Open, launching NFTs, and when will Binance invite Jalen to the #币安 $BNB contract competition?
【Creative promotional methods, have you learned them?】 Around November in Xinyi Street, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, a FamilyMart opened, but it closed down just two months later. On January 1st, the store hung a banner saying "Investment failed, all items 7.9 off". On January 5th, the store removed the banner. On January 10th, a few days later, the store hung the banner again, saying "Newly opened store, all items 7.9 off".
Running a business is not easy; it's rumored that a new energy vehicle manufacturer is about to close many stores on a large scale. Can you guess which one?
Now with such high vacancy rates in these office buildings, wouldn't opening a flagship store for a milk tea company help save these high-end office buildings? 😂
Unveiling the Fate of Two Major Telecom Fraud Empires: Chen Zhi and She Zhijiang
From November 2025 to January 2026, two major figures in the Southeast Asian cross-border telecom fraud field were apprehended: She Zhijiang, the mastermind behind the Myawaddy "Asia Pacific New City" criminal syndicate in Myanmar, was extradited from Thailand to China, and Chen Zhi, the founder of the Prince Group in Cambodia, was escorted back to China. These two cases not only mark the complete end of the three major telecom fraud groups in Southeast Asia after the destruction of the "Four Families" in Kokang, northern Myanmar, but also reveal two completely different models of cross-border crime expansion. Chen Zhi relied on Cambodia's centralized rent-seeking environment to build a business empire of "compliance cloak + global fraud + encrypted money laundering"; She Zhijiang took advantage of Myanmar's fragmented and turbulent situation to build a criminal breeding ground of "warlord protection + industrial park separatism + industrial chain subcontracting".
