CZ: Will try to spend less time debunking FUD one by one, there are more important things to do

**February 5: Binance Founder CZ Slams FUD, Fake Legal Letter** Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) took to social media on February 5 to push back against recent misinformation, stating: “Some FUD spreaders are now brazenly pushing rumors— even from accounts boasting 500k+ followers. I don’t know this account’s owner, nor do I recall when I blocked them, but it feels like a reasonable call. I’ve never sent that message to anyone. I’ll waste less time debunking these FUDs individually; there are more important things to focus on. Yesterday, the so-called ‘fake legal letter’ circulated briefly. I thought it was so obviously fake it didn’t warrant a response, but I still saw some self-proclaimed new media outlets share the image and publish articles about it. If people can’t tell the difference between obviously PS’d or AI-generated fake news/documents these days, they’ll likely end up broke. My apologies— that came off a bit blunt.”
