Zhao wanted a retraction, a restraining injunction to prevent the defendants from distributing the publication further, and the removal of the edition from newsstands. In part, modern media has already complied.

Zhao filed a move for discovery against Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Inc. ayrı ayrı, alleging “defamatory allegations” in the profile piece, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Zhao objected to the article’s description of Binance as “sketchy” and an unnamed trader’s characterization of Binance as a “massive [s**tcoin] casino.” According to the motion, these assertions “were obviously designed to mislead readers into believing that Zhao was breaking the law.”

While most of the journalists at Bloomberg are fine, CZ noted on the original piece on June 25 that “this time, it was bad.” He said, “Be accountable for your actions,” on Monday.

CZ Takes His Image Seriously

The two legal actions are part of Zhao’s tenacious image-protection plan for Binance. In 2020, Binance filed a lawsuit against Forbes for making allegedly defamatory remarks, but it was later dropped. (It made a strategic investment in Forbes in the future, which was connected to a failed SPAC acquisition.) Zhao filed a defamation claim against venture capital firm Sequoia in 2019.

Zhao is attempting to have the allegedly defamatory words never again printed by the publication in Hong Kong. Along with damages, interest, and fees, he also wants the statements to be taken back and removed.

Before the lawsuit was filed, Bloomberg reportedly addressed some of Zhao’s complaints by modifying the article’s headline to “The Mysterious Changpeng Zhao.”

It is also understood that the offensive social media posts were taken down and that Hong Kong had recalled physical copies of the translated piece.

The lawsuit was filed as a personal suit and is unrelated to the exchange or company.
