U.S. prosecutors: seeking a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for former Binance CEO CZ

In documents submitted on November 24th, US prosecutors indicated that they may seek a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for former Binance CEO Zhao Changpeng (CZ), which could exceed the sentencing guidelines. The documents were submitted in response to CZ's motion to oppose the US government's detention of him. The prosecutors stated that the upper limit of the sentencing guidelines could be as high as 18 months, and the US could freely assert any statutory maximum sentence of up to 10 years. Former head of the SEC Enforcement Division, John Reed Stark, stated that this is the first time that prosecutors have explicitly and clearly stated that they may seek a maximum sentence of 10 years. A DOJ lawyer supporting the detention of CZ stated that the punishment he faces in sentencing is undoubtedly significant to him, which "helps to reasonably restrict" him.
