CZ issued an internal letter stating:
Thank you all for your warm, caring, touching words, and more importantly for keeping this ship flying. Since I receive so many messages right now, I can't reply to them all. So, let me talk about it here.
It was certainly a difficult day for me, going through this unfamiliar process while being completely jet-lagged (12 hours) and not being able to use my phone for most of the day in court. I pre-wrote this tweet at 4am. Between all the other long legal documents I had to review, I didn’t really have time to write an internal memo up front. I think our communications team does a great job. I won't repeat what has already been said. I just want to say how proud I am of your work today, past and future.
Binance will be fine. I'm going to have to endure some pain, but I'm going to survive. Although there will be some structural changes, we will get through this.

To lighten the mood a bit, this famous phrase/clip from Star Trek (2009) popped into my head. "I need everyone to continue to do well." It's a good movie if you haven't seen it. Please help Richard transition to his new role. We'll meet at the conference, I'll say a few words there and then hand it over to Richard.
