In an interview on November 7, Zhao Changpeng reflected on his experience of being forced to leave Binance and serving a four-month prison sentence, during which he passed the time by exercising, writing books and discussing cryptocurrencies with his cellmates. "I don't feel like I want to go back to being the CEO of Binance," Zhao Changpeng said. "I have been leading the company for seven years. I enjoy this job. Although the work is very heavy. But I think that chapter is over." In addition, Zhao Changpeng said that he even received an offer to sell his controlling stake in the exchange - which constitutes the majority of his personal net worth, but he refused to disclose who the buyer was or the price. Mr. Zhao declined to comment on the US election, but said he was pleased with the direction of X (formerly Twitter). "I think Twitter has grown a lot faster since Musk took over, it launched new features and changed a lot faster," Mr. Zhao said. "I'm not too worried about the rise and fall of investment value. We are long-term investors."
