Rumors are circulating on Twitter about the founder of Binance. Changpeng "CZ" Zhao denies the allegations and warns about FUD.

According to rumors, Interpol is looking for Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. They would have put him on the so-called "Red Notice" list.

The well-known Twitter personality "Cobie" amplified the speculation by generating a View post on X with the SHA256 function. CZ denies the attacks and says: "The latest FUD was planned or funded by crypto news agencies and other exchanges. There are external forces attacking us. Our industry needs to unite."

Whether the accusations against CZ are true remains to be seen. Binance has meanwhile released a video series in which they address the "biggest misconceptions in the crypto sector". Last week the CFTC sued Binance — and presented explosive evidence.

The rumors have so far had little impact on the price of BNB.
