Binance Founder CZ Requests Court to Seal Travel Permission
In the ongoing legal battle between Binance founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), CZ has requested a federal court to grant an order related to travel permission. This comes after CZ was previously ordered to remain in the continental United States until his sentencing in February 2024.
Attorney for CZ Submits Motion to Seal Travel Permission Request
CZ’s attorney has submitted a motion to seal the request for travel permission, stating that it contains sensitive private medical information about his child. The attorney also seeks to seal the proposed order related to the motion.
