What else is known about the incident? The 250th issue of Bloomberg Businessweek magazine focuses on the head of Binance, with the headline “Changpeng Zhao’s Ponzi Scheme” on the cover. The lawsuit states that the issue contains defamatory materials that spread hatred and harm Zhao’s image. He demanded their removal, a formal apology, and compensation for damages.
