In a letter to US judge Richard A. Jones, Zhao Changpeng said: "I apologize for my bad decision and take full responsibility for my actions. In hindsight, I should have focused on implementing compliance changes in Yuan'an from the beginning, but I didn't. I don't have any excuses for this. "

"Zhao Changpeng's deliberate violation of US law is not an accident or negligence," the US Justice Department said on Tuesday. He made a business decision that violated US law, aimed at attracting users, building a company, and enriching himself. To this end, it is recommended that the court sentence him to more than 36 months' imprisonment. "

Subsequently, Zhao Changpeng's defense lawyers committee responded to the recommendation of the US Department of Justice and asked the court to grant him a suspended sentence. Zhao Changpeng's legal team said: "he paid a huge fine and instructed the company to plead guilty in court and work with three federal agencies to resolve related civil charges." These factors strongly support his leniency. "

In November last year, Zhao Changpeng pleaded guilty to violating the Anti-money laundering Law and related sanctions decisions in the United States, agreed to accept a fine of 50 million US dollars and resigned as an CEO. Qian an also agreed to pay $4.3 billion, one of the largest corporate settlements in history.
