On Oct. 22. RBC News reported, followed by Cointelegraph that Changpeng Zhao, commented on Vladimir Putin as the most influential person in the blockchain space.
In contradiction to the published article, Changpeng Zhao also known as CZ in the crypto community, actually humored out casually that the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin as being the most influential person in the blockchain space.

A couple bi-polar errors with this article. I said: "if you are engaged in crime, DON'T sign up with Binance.” The title line is a casual humor half-joke too. Maybe it was my bad pronunciation or speech, but journalists should have a good understanding before publishing. — CZ Binance (@cz_binance) October 23, 2019
In response to the above tweet, Cointelegraph updated their article as follows:
Update: Changpeng Zhao’s comment was translated incorrectly in the article. It was since updated to reiterate the platform’s stance that individuals engaged in crime should not sign up with Binance.
CZ further added that the bill on regulating digital money might be adopted in the Russian Federation in the coming future.
