Binance Founder CZ gave evidence against Justin Sun as part of DOJ plea deal, WSJ claims

https://www.wsj.com/finance/regulation/binance-world-liberty-financial-crypto-deals-70c817c3

Justin Sun: “I’m not aware of the circulating rumors. CZ is both my mentor and a close friend—he has played a crucial role in supporting me during my entrepreneurial journey. To this day, his conduct and principles remain the highest standard I strive to follow as a founder.

At the same time, the U.S. Department of Justice has been one of T3FCU’s closest and most trusted partners. Together, we’ve collaborated on numerous cases aimed at protecting users around the world.

Whether it’s CZ or our partners at the DOJ, we maintain direct, honest communication at all times. I have full trust in each and every one of them.

Under President Trump’s wise crypto policy leadership, the crypto industry in the United States is poised to achieve even greater success. As the President’s earliest crypto choice, TRX is also set to be one of the beneficiaries of this success. ALL IN USA! 🇺🇸”
