Prosecutors in the United States on Tuesday are asking a judge to hand Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, a three-year prison sentence for allowing rampant money laundering on the platform. Zhao pleaded guilty and stepped down as Binance CEO in November as the company agreed to pay $4.3 billion (€4 million) to settle related allegations. US officials said Zhao deliberately looked the other way as illicit actors conducted transactions that supported child sex abuse, the illegal drug trade, and terrorism. Binance CEO 'CZ' Changpeng Zhao steps dow...

The criminal trial in San Francisco federal court revolves around HP's acquisition of UK software maker Autonomy, a deal that was celebrated as a coup when it was announced in 2011, only to blow up into a costly debacle. Before HP wrapped up the deal, Meg Whitman was hired to be CEO of the company started 85 years ago by Bill Hewlett and D...

A woman has sued director Roman Polanski, alleging he raped her in his home when she was a minor in 1973. The woman aired the allegations, which the 90-year-old Polanski has denied, in a news conference with her attorney, Gloria Allred, who has represented the victims of Jeffery Epstein and Bill Cosby, on Tuesday (12 March).

Gutierrez-Reed also had faced a second charge of tampering with evidence, stemming from accusations that she handed a small bag of possible narcotics to another cre...
