According to Reuters, a Department of Justice spokesperson had previously told the media that the former CEO of Binance, Zhao Changpeng, was expected to stay in the Seattle area until next Monday, after which he would be allowed to return to his residence in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
However, the latest news indicates that U.S. prosecutors are pressuring a federal judge to restrict Zhao Changpeng from leaving the country before his sentencing hearing on February 23, 2024, and to prevent him from returning to the UAE before the verdict.
