CZ's trial released the latest document, the sentencing memorandum from the law firm of Rui Sheng International. In this memorandum, it mainly elaborates on the causes and consequences of CZ's confession and cites a similar BSA case in which 26 defendants were not sentenced to imprisonment, arguing that CZ should not be the first, especially since he voluntarily came from a non-extradition country to the United States, resigned as CEO, paid a huge fine, and confessed voluntarily. These factors strongly support a lenient treatment, which would be more appropriate for probation.

The document also states that CZ performed three community services in the United States and was away from his family for over five and a half months. The key point is that CZ was not prosecuted, not extradited, and did not hold the U.S. government responsible. The currently recommended "sentencing level is 12," and from what I can tell, anything over 16 would be considered quite serious, so 12 is not high. The suggested probation period is approximately 10 to 16 months.

The conclusion is that this is a highly publicized matter, but based on the facts, CZ should still be sentenced. However, he is a first-time offender, non-violent, and did not intend to harm anyone. He does not pose a risk of reoffending. He has voluntarily taken responsibility in this country. He has posted a huge bail bond. But he has transformed Binance into a leading compliant industry. These factors appropriately lead to a recommended probation. The court should further consider three other key factors.

This is extremely rare (if it exists) for a first-time offender, and the guidance range is similar to CZ's, given the imprisonment after confession, especially before prosecution. Compared to similarly situated U.S. citizens, he faces harsher and more dangerous prison conditions. All relevant BSA precedents point to probation. For these and other reasons, the probation judgment is fair, appropriate, consistent with precedent, and does not constitute a crime. It exceeds the extent required to achieve the goal of sentencing CZ as an individual. All the facts and circumstances of his life's good deeds.

Of course, this is a sentencing memorandum and not the final judgment. The final result should be available on the evening of April 30th or the early morning of May 1st Beijing time.
