Binance founder remains a public figure for the exchange
In any case, CZ warns his followers on X to be alert to this type of video. In the interaction with this post by the businessman, some followers commented that care must be taken after the Binance Blockchain Week (BBW). In that activity, many founders would approach to take photos with Zhao to promote scams.
It should be noted that Zhao stated in a separate post that he will participate in the BBW that will take place on October 30 and 31 in Dubai. Thus, the crypto entrepreneur seems determined to stay very close to Binance despite his commitment to distance himself from the company. In the message he clarified that his participation is in a personal capacity and not from another perspective.
I will attend Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai on October 30 and 31, in a personal capacity. It is one of the most important Web3 events of the year. See you there," he wrote. In any case, this participation marks the return of the founder of Binance to the public scene. Even if you intend to attend in a personal capacity, you will inevitably attract all the attention of participants and media.

The latter also warned about the great risks of AI to create problems. Images of the singer were used to promote US politicians.
