CZ Response to WSJ Report: Someone Supposedly Paid Wall Street Journal Staff to Smear Me

BlockBeats News, April 12th, CZ responded to today's Wall Street Journal article in a post on X platform, saying: "The Wall Street Journal is really working hard. They seem to have forgotten who went to prison and who didn't. People who become government witnesses don't go to jail. They are protected. I heard that someone paid Wall Street Journal employees to smear me."

BlockBeats previously reported that, according to sources familiar with the matter, during the Biden administration, the U.S. Department of Justice has been investigating Justin Sun for alleged financial crimes, and it is currently unclear whether the investigation is still ongoing. Some sources said that as part of CZ's plea agreement, he has agreed to provide evidence to the prosecution regarding Justin Sun.
