Foreign media: Zhao Changpeng's release date is September 29, not August 30 as rumored
Some Binance fans shared their expectations for Binance founder Zhao Changpeng's completion of his sentence on August 30th on X platform. However, fact-checking shows that he will not actually be released on this date. Going back to April 30th, US District Judge Richard Jones sentenced Zhao Changpeng to four months in prison in the Seattle area and recommended that he be sent to the SeaTac International Airport prison in Seattle. This decision initially led to widespread speculation that if Zhao Changpeng were to be imprisoned immediately, August 30th should be his release date. However, Zhao Changpeng's legal team actively intervened to fight for more freedom time for him. Their efforts delayed Zhao Changpeng's imprisonment until late May, and he did not move into SeaTac as originally planned, but was transferred to the low-security federal prison FCI Lompoc II, which is three hours north of Los Angeles. Currently, according to a check of the prison management bureau database, Zhao Changpeng is indeed in FCI Lompoc II. As for his exact release date, unless there are changes, it has been determined to be September 29th, not the previously widely circulated August 30th.
