The US Department of Justice has submitted a proposed protective order motion in the lawsuit against CZ, in order to safeguard sensitive information involved in the case.

According to a report from CoinGape on February 21st, based on a motion for a protective order filed on February 20th, a US lawyer applied for a protective order considering the sensitive information in CZ's lawsuit. The Department of Justice stated that defendant CZ and defense lawyers did not oppose the request for a protective order. According to US prosecutors, CZ admitted to not maintaining an effective anti-money laundering program. The evidence provided includes sensitive witness interviews, third-party financial records, and third-party internal business records. The Department of Justice proposed a proposed order in this motion, restricting public access to any information. "The proposed protective order will not be disseminated or distributed to anyone other than defense counsel, defense team members, and the defendant," the document said. In addition, the identity of sensitive witnesses will not be disclosed in public documents, similar to the recent sealing of unmodified letters and medical records, and the identities of these witnesses will remain sealed.
