CZ and Binance: The Man Who Built Crypto's Biggest Empire
About this episode
The episode explores the rise of CZ, his relationship with Sam Bankman Fried, and the controversies surrounding Binance and FTX.
This is a guy who grew up in a village in rural China with no running water and today is now worth $110 billion. I examine his relationship with Sam Bankman Fried- and his subsequent involvement in the multi billion dollar collapse of Bankman Fried’s company FTX. I also look at how he tried to keep Binance away from any type of regulation, and this ultimately led him to serve time in jail but then very controversially get a presidential pardon. It's a cracking story — enjoy.
