- Analysts call this incident an attempt to manipulate the market
- Changpeng Zhao recalled 4 rules for 2023
Recently on the Chinese social network WeChat spread rumors that the CEO of Binance has been shot dead. CZ himself immediately denied this information.
On March 4, Changpeng Zhao posted on Twitter in which he responded to all the false information:
“Someone photoshopped it and it went viral on WeChat. It says that I was shot by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with which our team works closely. – he said.
At the end of the tweet, he wrote the number 4, thereby recalling the rules for the year. The fourth point was a reminder to ignore FUDs, fake news, attacks, and other distractions.
MetaMask security analyst Harry Denley compared this event to a situation that occurred 6 years ago. In 2017, there were rumors that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin “died in a car accident.” Harry said it was just an attempt to manipulate the market.
