I'm not sure I entirely understand what CZ gets out of this. The article says it's an immense victory, but as far as I can tell it seems unclear whether the pardon cleanses the original 'lifetime ban on executive authority at Binance' in his plea deal... but I guess who cares if does or doesn't if crime is legal now.

I'm legitimately worried about the direction crypto is going, if it becomes a place where whales bully everyone else and there's nothing we can do about it then we haven't actually solved anything.
