Zhao Changpeng responded to the WSJ report, stating that it is a deliberate fabrication and not a journalistic act
ChainCatcher news, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) responded on the X platform to a recent report by The Wall Street Journal regarding his involvement in the World Liberty Financial project, stating that it was not a genuine interview but a "malicious fabrication under the guise of questioning," and questioning whether it has become a "megaphone for negative narratives."Zhao Changpeng cited the "Cunningham's Law" to point out that the WSJ attempts to induce clarification by constructing false narratives, which goes against the spirit of journalistic integrity. He emphasized that the inquiries submitted by the WSJ were filled with "false and negative assumptions," such as accusing him of "facilitating" the WLF team and arranging meetings with Pakistani official Saqib, whereas the fact is that his first meeting with Saqib was in Pakistan, and he had not been involved in any international itinerary of WLF.He stated bluntly, "When reporting starts from a negative standpoint, the so-called 'correction' is meaningless because the entire story itself is fabricated." He believes that this incident reflects "the attempts of certain forces in the United States to suppress the development of the cryptocurrency industry, targeting global crypto leaders and governments that support crypto."
