On November 7, in an interview, Zhao Changpeng recalled his experience of being forced to leave Binan and serving a four-month sentence, during which he passed the time by exercising, writing books and discussing cryptocurrencies with fellow inmates. Zhao Changpeng said: "I don't think I want to go back to being CEO of Binance. I have been leading the company for seven years. I enjoy this job very much. Although the work is heavy. But I think that chapter is over." In addition, Zhao Changpeng said he had even received offers to sell his controlling stake in the exchange-which made up the majority of his personal net worth-but declined to reveal who the buyer was or the price. Zhao Changpeng declined to comment on the U.S. election, but said he was satisfied with the direction of X (formerly Twitter). Zhao Changpeng said: "I think after Musk took over, Twitter has developed much faster. It has introduced new features and changed much faster. I'm not too worried about the rise and fall of investment value. We are long-term investors."
