PANews reported on May 23 that Binance founder Zhao Changpeng published an article on the X platform to refute the negative report of the Wall Street Journal, accusing the media of violating journalistic ethics and using the "Cunningham Law" (obtaining the truth by publishing false information) to maliciously frame. Zhao Changpeng pointed out that WSJ had preset a large number of false accusations in the prior inquiry, including claiming that he "acted as an international affairs coordinator for the World Liberty Financial team" and fabricated details such as "introducing Pakistani official Saqib to the WLF team". Although the WLF spokesperson explicitly denied that CZ played a coordinating role, WSJ still published misleading reports. CZ clarified: He and Saqib first met in Pakistan and never helped WLF with any international trips. CZ believes that such reports reflect that some forces in the United States are trying to obstruct the development of cryptocurrencies, targeting crypto industry leaders and government teams that support innovation. He emphasized: "When the report starts from a negative premise, the so-called 'error correction' is meaningless because the whole story is fictional."
