CZ is a strong dude, the way he is accepting his mistakes and showing the positive side of the story, I admire it. Because in such a situation, a person who has lots of funds and is rich (basically) it's hard for such persons to make such statements. He still believes in crypto, (although it's his empire) and he looks forward to how he can do his time and get back into the game after 36 months. As in my OP, 36 months is not a big deal for CZ as he is strong.
But the fine is a little hard although I think CZ can manage that too. I like his positive thinking and how he arranged words so the investors and users of his platforms wouldn't leave him behind. As his work depends on the trust that his customers have in Binance and CZ. Otherwise, CZ doesn't stand a chance and Binance does as well. But it shows the big hand of Binance in the market as it dominates many exchanges.
