CZ Considers Defamation Suit Against Elizabeth Warren Over Money-Laundering Claim Tied to Binance

COINOTAG News, referencing a New York Post report, notes that CZ is weighing a defamation case against Senator Elizabeth Warren over a tweet issued after a presidential pardon. The post alleged a money-laundering conviction, a charge CZ has never faced; authorities previously pursued only allegations under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and questions about Binance’s AML controls.

CZ’s attorney, Teresa Goody Guillen, stated that a formal retraction request is being prepared; should Warren not retract, CZ intends to file a defamation lawsuit promptly. The development highlights the high‑stakes intersection of crypto leadership and U.S. regulatory discourse.

Elizabeth Warren, a Democratic member of the Senate Banking Committee, has long been a vocal critic of crypto policy. The reported dispute underscores ongoing regulatory scrutiny as lawmakers pursue stronger AML standards and corporate accountability in digital asset markets.
