CZ's latest interview bombshell: Was once detained in the same prison as SBF, one after the other.

BlockBeats news, October 4th, according to The New York Times, Binance founder CZ stated in a recent interview that he was once assigned to the low-security Lompoc II prison in California, which later also held FTX founder SBF. Before reporting to prison, CZ assembled a team of advisors to teach him the various subtle rules of prison cellblock politics. One advisor even corresponded with other inmates, who agreed to help CZ adapt to life in prison.

In August 2024, CZ left Lompoc Prison and transferred to a halfway house. However, due to issues with his immigration status, he had to spend his final two weeks in a local jail, passing the time in his cell by doing push-ups and sit-ups. On the day of his release, from the moment CZ left custody to the takeoff of his private jet, only 26 minutes passed.
