CZ’s immense wealth has inadvertently become both a symbol of success and a potential hindrance to his freedom. Authorities argue that his financial power coupled with international connections, poses a flight risk. And they are committed to keep him on U.S. soil.

Judge Jones’ ruling sheds light on a critical aspect of the American legal system – the perception that significant wealth, when combined with global influence, can heighten the likelihood of evading jurisdiction. 

It is a unique predicament for CZ, whose prosperity has become a double-edged sword, constraining his mobility. He has a clean record. And has always a record of compliance with legal proceedings.
