Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao has hit back at critics and conspiracy theorists who claim Binance to be a Chinese-based “criminal entity” that “secretly [belongs] in the pocket of the Chinese government.”
CZ’s response to critics came from a Thursday blog post via Binance, and stems from a Twitter spat with a former Washington Post journalist who asked him, “While I have you here, who’s Guangying Chen?”
He explained that the question is in reference to a conspiracy theory alleging that his personal friend and Chinese national Guangying Chen is the secret owner of Bijie Tech (a company he founded in 2015) and possibly also Binance.
However, CZ explains that Chen is a colleague of his that he met through a friend, which he hired to “manage the back office” at Bijie Tech before re-hiring her again at Binance, adding that conspiracy theorists then linked her as a secret owner.
