UpOnly podcast host ‘Jordan Fish’, also known as Cobie, stated that Binance CEO CZ accidentally spread the rumor that he was the subject of the Interpol Red Notice.
Binance Interpol Rumor inadvertently leaked
cryptocoin.comAs you follow, UpOnly podcast host Jordan Fish (Cobie) has spread a rumor suggesting that CZ has received a Red Notice from Interpol. Cobie posted a cryptic Tweet on Twitter that read “Interpol Red Notice for CZ” when decrypted. Cobie’s Twitter account is currently protected, meaning his other comments on the topic are only known to his approved followers.
Cobie has now stated that the spread of the rumor was unintentional and has apologized for his role in the incident. In a series of protected tweets, Cobie wrote:
It seems that someone I discussed the rumor… leaked the keywords for ‘partnership’… It would never have been read unless I disclosed it, which I’m very sorry about.
Cobie’s original statement was encrypted with SHA-256 hashing
Cobie said it was unlikely that the encryption would be cracked by brute force, noting that he had published numerous cryptic rumors and that “none else had been cracked.” By encrypting the message, he could prove himself to be the source of the rumor if it was verified, or keep the rumor a secret if proven false.
Interpol declined to comment on Binance rumors
So far, there has been no public call for the Binance CEO’s arrest, and no specific solicitation has been proven. Interpol’s website does not publicly list a Red Notice for Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao as of April 5, despite rumors of such a notification being made.
Questions directed to Interpol remained unanswered. Instead, he said the information shared with him “remains the property” of member states and does not “comment on specific cases or individuals”.
Binance CEO says the attack was financed by his rivals
CZ claimed that the rumors were false and that the rumors were planted by a rival cryptocurrency exchange. He also stated on the Interpol website that an image of him was photoshopped.
Although there is no evidence for any Red Notice, the incident directly affects the cryptocurrency market. Immediately after the news, $266 million was withdrawn from Binance.
FUD leads to loss of funds on Binance
According to DeFillama data, the FUD against CZ resulted in a brief increase in withdrawals on Binance. The exchange made a withdrawal of $266.33 million after the news.
These withdrawals pale in significantly compared to those recorded in November 2022, when FTX crashed. At that time, Binance processed over $6 billion in withdrawals within seven days. Meanwhile, Blockchain analytics firm Nansen indicates that Binance has $64.4 billion worth of cryptocurrencies. The FUD also briefly affected the price of Binance BNB, which traded at $302.1 on April 3.
