US prosecutors seek 3 years in prison for Zhao Changpeng

Golden Finance reported that the U.S. Department of Justice said late on Tuesday that Binance founder and former CEO Zhao Changpeng should be imprisoned for three years for violating federal sanctions and money laundering laws by participating in cryptocurrency exchanges. Under the terms of the plea agreement, Zhao initially faced up to 18 months in prison. The U.S. Department of Justice argued in Tuesday's filing that the scope and consequences of Zhao's misconduct were enormous, so an upward adjustment here is appropriate. Last November, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act, after which Justice Department lawyers submitted a sentencing memorandum arguing that he should go to jail for 36 months and pay a $50 million fine.

Joko Widodo also emphasized the need to monitor other potential money laundering tools, including virtual assets, market activities, electronic currencies, and AI-driven transactions.

Currently, crypto assets in Indonesia are considered commodities and are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Regulator (Bappebti).
