Once again, Israeli bombs rained down on Gaza. The latest wave of strikes killed more than 100 people, mostly women and children, according to health authorities. The bombardment marked the deadliest day since the weeks-old U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas began on October 10 — a ceasefire Israel has repeatedly broken with impunity.“As the Trump administration likes to say, the ceasefire is still in place. And the media has parroted that as well. But an overwhelming amount of people that we spoke to on the ground are saying that there is no ceasefire with killings being at this rate. This is a continuation of the genocide,” says Intercept reporter Jonah Valdez. Palestinians “have a very crystal-clear view of Israel's policy and their goal of wanting mass expulsion from Gaza. ... Those who are surviving it and living it are seeing through the propaganda that the ceasefire is still in place.”On The Intercept Briefing, Valdez joins host Jordan Uhl and reporter Matt Sledge to explain why President Donald Trump “has a lot to gain from continuing to tell the public that there is a ceasefire” and to discuss the news stories published on The Intercept this week.“It's important to mention this layer of hope that exists. No one wants to call the ceasefire dead prematurely because if it surviving allows for other Palestinians and Gaza to survive,” Valdez adds, “then, you know, of course they have vested interest in seeing the truce live on.”And back in the United States, Trump's pay-to-play approach to running the government continues unabated. Trump recently pardoned the billionaire crypto king, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, whose company has done business benefiting the Trump family. “Binance overnight became the biggest customer of the Trump family venture, which is called World Liberty Financial,” Sledge points out. “I think a lot of skeptics out there are saying, like, ‘Boy, this sure just looks exactly like pay to play, like quid pro quo.'”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.

Binance's Changpeng Zhao earns a gold-plated pardon as other industry figures fund Trump's $300 million ballroom. Originally published October 28, 2025.

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.The crypto world has been buzzing about Sam Bankman-Fried in the wake of Donald Trump's surprise pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao on October 23. While CZ's white-collar convictions were for compliance failures, Sam Bankman-Fried's crimes—found guilty on seven felony counts related to his orchestration of one of the largest frauds in crypto history—are in another league entirely, involving the misappropriation of about eight billion dollars in customer funds through FTX and Alameda Research as well as massive political donations and a 25-year prison sentence, according to widespread reporting by sources like TheStreet and Bitcoinist.Following the CZ pardon, speculation exploded that SBF could be next. Within hours, betting platforms like Polymarket saw the odds of Bankman-Fried earning a presidential pardon leap from just 4% up to 16%. CoinDesk and Crypto News both report that these shifts were driven purely by market speculation, social media frenzy, and a few viral tweets—not any official statement from Trump's team or the White House. Some prominent crypto voices on X, like investigator Coffeezilla, have promised to “quit” if SBF is pardoned, while Polymarket fueled the meme with a post titled “Sam Bankman-Freed,” a post that SBF's own X account retweeted—though the account is still marked as “SBF's words, shared by a friend,” meaning it is run by someone in his circle rather than the man himself.The possibility of a pardon has also been embraced by SBF's family. As reported by Crypto Patel, his parents have been quietly lobbying for months, connecting with Republican insiders and pitching the notion that their son was unfairly targeted. In fact, SBF's mother recently published a detailed essay defending him, hoping to tip public opinion. Meanwhile, Bankman-Fried continues to maintain—in recent interviews from FCI-Terminal Island prison and a long-form piece with Mother Jones—that his real mistake was ceding control of FTX to a new CEO during bankruptcy, not fraud, and that he could have saved the firm if left in charge.Though the chatter is loud, credible legal experts quoted by sources like TheStreet and Variant Fund remain deeply skeptical that SBF could ever receive the same treatment as CZ, since his actions caused direct losses to millions and left an ugly scar on the crypto industry's reputation. As for breaking news, prediction markets have cooled off a bit, with Polymarket and Kalshi dropping odds to the 12% range as reality, for now, sets in. SBF's formal appeal is set for November 4, but legal watchers doubt it will yield any sudden change. For now, Sam Bankman-Fried remains crypto's ultimate cautionary tale, back in the headlines as a symbol of what happens when ambition, politics, and money collide.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

De voorspellingenmarkt Polymarket komt met een eigen cryptomunt. Het platform, waar gebruikers kunnen inzetten op de uitkomst van allerlei gebeurtenissen, beloont vaste spelers met een airdrop van de nieuwe token. Daarmee krijgen gebruikers die al langer actief zijn de eerste exemplaren in handen. De lancering past in een bredere trend: steeds meer cryptobedrijven introduceren een eigen munt om hun ecosysteem te versterken of gebruikers te binden. Met de token van Polymarket krijgen deelnemers straks meer mogelijkheden binnen het platform, bijvoorbeeld om te stemmen over toekomstige ontwikkelingen of extra functies te ontgrendelen. Polymarket zelf groeide de afgelopen jaren uit tot een van de bekendste platforms voor zogeheten voorspellingsmarkten. Dat zijn markten waarop mensen geld inzetten op de uitkomst van politieke verkiezingen, sportwedstrijden of andere gebeurtenissen. De populariteit van Polymarket is opvallend, want het bedrijf kende een hobbelige start. Strenge regelgeving in de Verenigde Staten zorgde er eerder voor dat delen van het aanbod tijdelijk moesten worden beperkt. Inmiddels lijkt het platform zijn plek te hebben gevonden. De vraag is hoe groot de mogelijkheden nog zijn, nu ook andere spelers vergelijkbare markten ontwikkelen. Op Polymarket kan momenteel ook worden ingezet op de uitslag van de Nederlandse verkiezingen. Dergelijke markten bieden een alternatieve manier om politieke trends te volgen, al blijft het voor de meeste deelnemers vooral een financiële gok. Verder in deze aflevering bespreekt Bert Slagter de koersontwikkeling van Bitcoin. Na een periode van schommelingen herstelde de prijs afgelopen weekend. In zijn analyse wijst hij op de voortdurende strijd om de grens van 100.000 dollar, die nog altijd niet is beslist. De rust die lijkt te zijn teruggekeerd op macro-economisch vlak, mede door de toenadering tussen de Verenigde Staten en China, kan de markt voorlopig wat stabiliteit geven. Tot slot het opvallende nieuws dat Donald Trump gratie heeft verleend aan Changpeng Zhao, de oprichter van Binance. Zhao werd in 2024 veroordeeld omdat zijn beurs onvoldoende zou hebben gedaan om witwassen tegen te gaan. Met de gratie wil Trump naar eigen zeggen een einde maken aan de “war on crypto”. Wat dat precies betekent voor Binance, en of ook andere veroordeelden zoals Sam Bankman-Fried kunnen rekenen op clementie, blijft vooralsnog onduidelijk.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, we start by asking the question: What is MAGA? From there, the conversation spirals through one of the wildest weeks yet — as Trump literally tears down part of the White House, pardons criminals tied to terrorism and child exploitation, and demands hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars for himself.

Craig Collins remains in for Greg Corombos, and he and Jim wrap up the week by looking at the lighter side of the likely national repercussions if, as expected, Zohran Mamdani is elected as mayor of New York City, examine an unjustifiable pardon from President Trump, and close out by questioning the choices of an allegedly “woke” update to the musical Damn Yankees. First, Craig and Jim start off with the inverse of yesterday's bad Martini, looking at polling numbers that indicate Mamdani is exceptionally unpopular outside of New York City, even among independents and Democrats. “The results are grim for Mamdani. Among self-identified Democrats and Independents alike and among voters at large, his numbers are actually considerably worse than those of Newsom, Ocasio-Cortez, and Harris.” And let's face it, it's not easy to be less popular than Kamala Harris these days. Next, President Trump has made an unpardonable pardon of Changpeng Zhao, the convicted founder of the crypto exchange Binance,. There aren't a lot of large financial institutions that are willing to do work with al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, ransomware hackers, and kiddie-porn enthusiasts, all simultaneously; these are the kinds of guys who usually end up portrayed as the villains in Jason Statham movies. Finally, in more discussion of musical theater than you ever expected on this podcast, Craig and Jim examine a new revival of the musical Damn Yankees that adds a new racial component to the story, making the main character, Joe Boyd, take the deal because of memories of his father, “a minor league baseball player who was kept out of the major leagues because he was black.” Jim notes this undermines the musical's original theme that our family and loved ones are more important than the temptations fame and fortune, while Craig observes that the devilish seductive harlot being played by a white actress now adds an uncomfortable implication to Boyd's temptation. Please visit our great sponsors:Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

Jon Herold kicks off a slow news day with a sharp mix of wit and skepticism on The Daily Herold. From Gavin Newsom's shocking Medicaid fraud loophole that funneled billions in federal funds to California, to Russia's legalization of crypto for international trade, and Trump's eyebrow-raising pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Jon dissects the headlines with his trademark humor and candor. He dives into Japan's first female prime minister, Trump's new $3 billion farmer aid package amid the government shutdown, and the FBI's massive mafia-linked gambling probe that's shaking the NBA. Along the way, Jon reacts to Candace Owens' claims about Charlie Kirk, debates Thomas Massie's political motives, and even considers the Coast Guard's true place in government, with plenty of offbeat tangents and laughs.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on another high profile Trump pardon.

US President Donald Trump has issued a pardon for Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. Zhao spent four months in prison last year after pleading guilty to charges of failing to implement adequate measures to prevent money laundering while operating the platform. We also take a closer look at the latest US and EU sanctions against Russia.

De cryptomarkt balanceert deze week tussen hoop en vrees. Bitcoin noteert rond de 111.500 dollar, zo’n 6000 dollar lager dan een week geleden. Beleggers reageerden teleurgesteld op de toespraak van Jerome Powell, die geen enkel signaal gaf dat een renteverlaging in oktober op tafel ligt. Sindsdien is de koers wankel en zien we ook bij altcoins forse verliezen. In de Tweede Kamer kwam onverwacht een voorstel voorbij om een strategische bitcoinreserve voor Nederland op te bouwen. Thierry Baudet diende de motie in tijdens het inflatiedebat. De kans dat dit werkelijkheid wordt is klein, maar het levert ongetwijfeld veel aandacht op sociale media op. De echo van het idee van Donald Trump en enkele buitenlandse politici bereikt zo ook ons parlement. Ondertussen werkt de Trump-familie verder aan hun cryptoplannen. Hun bedrijf World Liberty Financial bouwt aan een consumentenapp en een betaalkaart. Daarmee moet vooral hun eigen stablecoin meer onder de aandacht komen. De onderneming zoekt ook samenwerking met partijen als de Zuid-Koreaanse beurs Bitthumb, al zijn die gesprekken nog niet concreet. De eigen munt van het project ging begin september live, maar kende al meteen ophef. Toen Justin Sun zijn munten wilde verkopen, werd zijn wallet tijdelijk bevroren. Inmiddels ligt de koers rond twintig dollarcent, goed voor een marktwaarde van ongeveer vijf miljard. Verder lijkt Binance zijn positie op de Amerikaanse markt voorzichtig terug te krijgen. Na een periode waarin het platform zich moest terugtrekken, versoepelen toezichthouders hun houding. Ook het ministerie van Justitie lijkt minder streng te kijken naar de Amerikaanse tak. De vraag is wel of dat genoeg is om verloren vertrouwen te herstellen. De handel blijft tot nu toe achter en veel staten houden de deur nog dicht. Het bedrijf probeert gebruikers te lokken met bijna gratis transacties, maar of dat voldoende is om de opgelopen schade te repareren, zal de komende maanden blijken. Oud-topman ChangPeng Zhao heeft intussen zijn straf uitgezeten en is actief als investeerder, met de mogelijkheid om terug te keren in de spotlights.

De cryptomarkt balanceert deze week tussen hoop en vrees. Bitcoin noteert rond de 111.500 dollar, zo’n 6000 dollar lager dan een week geleden. Beleggers reageerden teleurgesteld op de toespraak van Jerome Powell, die geen enkel signaal gaf dat een renteverlaging in oktober op tafel ligt. Sindsdien is de koers wankel en zien we ook bij altcoins forse verliezen. In de Tweede Kamer kwam onverwacht een voorstel voorbij om een strategische bitcoinreserve voor Nederland op te bouwen. Thierry Baudet diende de motie in tijdens het inflatiedebat. De kans dat dit werkelijkheid wordt is klein, maar het levert ongetwijfeld veel aandacht op sociale media op. De echo van het idee van Donald Trump en enkele buitenlandse politici bereikt zo ook ons parlement. Ondertussen werkt de Trump-familie verder aan hun cryptoplannen. Hun bedrijf World Liberty Financial bouwt aan een consumentenapp en een betaalkaart. Daarmee moet vooral hun eigen stablecoin meer onder de aandacht komen. De onderneming zoekt ook samenwerking met partijen als de Zuid-Koreaanse beurs Bitthumb, al zijn die gesprekken nog niet concreet. De eigen munt van het project ging begin september live, maar kende al meteen ophef. Toen Justin Sun zijn munten wilde verkopen, werd zijn wallet tijdelijk bevroren. Inmiddels ligt de koers rond twintig dollarcent, goed voor een marktwaarde van ongeveer vijf miljard. Verder lijkt Binance zijn positie op de Amerikaanse markt voorzichtig terug te krijgen. Na een periode waarin het platform zich moest terugtrekken, versoepelen toezichthouders hun houding. Ook het ministerie van Justitie lijkt minder streng te kijken naar de Amerikaanse tak. De vraag is wel of dat genoeg is om verloren vertrouwen te herstellen. De handel blijft tot nu toe achter en veel staten houden de deur nog dicht. Het bedrijf probeert gebruikers te lokken met bijna gratis transacties, maar of dat voldoende is om de opgelopen schade te repareren, zal de komende maanden blijken. Oud-topman ChangPeng Zhao heeft intussen zijn straf uitgezeten en is actief als investeerder, met de mogelijkheid om terug te keren in de spotlights.

Han växte upp utan pengar i Kanada, vände hamburgare på McDonald's – och blev en av världens mäktigaste personer inom kryptovalutor.

In this episode of Financial Crime Matters, Kieran talks with Christina Rea about her brief tenure at Binance.US as interim chief compliance officer. Christina discusses what it was like to head U.S. compliance for Binance.com, the world's largest digital assets trading platform, as it underwent scrutiny from regulators and law enforcement that ultimately culminated in a $4.3 billion penalty against Binance.com and a guilty plea for money laundering failures by the VASP's co-founder Changpeng Zhao that resulted in his paying a $50 million fine and the possibility of up to 18 months in prison. Christina, who launched a consulting firm after resigning from Binance.US after about six months at the VASP, also touches on what it takes to protect yourself as a compliance officer whose business is facing tough oversight.

Binance is still the world's largest crypto exchange, but last year was anything but tranquil at the firm. A yearslong federal investigation into Changpeng Zhao, its co-founder and then-CEO, resulted in Binance paying billions of dollars in fines and Zhao stepping down as CEO. He pleaded guilty to violating anti-money laundering laws and now faces possible prison time. But remaining at the company is Yi He, who is Binance's co-founder, one of its largest shareholders and Zhao's romantic partner. WSJ reporter Patricia Kowsmann joins host Alex Ossola to talk about He's background and management style, and what that could mean for the future of Binance. Learn more about your ad choices.
