鞭牛士报道，11月22日早间消息，据华尔街日报、福布斯报道，知情人士透露，赵长鹏将辞去最大加密货币交易所币安首席执行官一职并认罪，这是司法部与他创立的加密货币交易所达成的43亿美元重大和解的一部分。

随后，赵长鹏在X上发布了长文，以下为全文：

今天，我辞去了币安首席执行官的职务。诚然，情感上的放下并不容易。但我知道这是正确的做法。我犯了错误，我必须承担责任。这对我们的社区、币安和我自己都是最好的。币安不再是婴儿了。现在是我让它走、跑的时候了。我知道币安将继续发展并凭借其强大的后备力量而脱颖而出。

我很高兴地宣布@_RichardTeng，我们现任的前区域市场全球主管今天被任命为币安的新任首席执行官。理查德是一位高素质的领导者，拥有三十多年的金融服务和监管经验，他将带领公司度过下一个增长时期。他将确保币安实现下一阶段的安全性、透明度、合规性和增长。

在加入币安之前，Richard 曾担任阿布扎比全球市场 (ADGM) 金融服务监管局首席执行官；新加坡交易所（SGX）首席监管官；新加坡金融管理局企业财务总监。与理查德和整个团队一起，我相信最好的日子。@币安加密货币行业遥遥领先。

作为对我们公司历史有了解的股东和前首席执行官，我将根据我们美国机构决议中规定的框架，随时为团队提供必要的咨询。我接下来要做什么？我先休息一下。在过去的六年半里，我没有一天真正休息过（关掉电话）。

之后，我目前的想法是，我可能会进行一些被动投资，成为区块链/Web3/DeFi、人工智能和生物技术领域初创公司的少数代币/股东。我很高兴我终于有更多的时间来研究 DeFi。我无法想象自己再次担任首席执行官来推动一家初创公司的发展。

我很满足于成为一名幸运的企业家。如果有听众，我可能愿意私下担任少数即将到来的企业家的教练/导师。如果不为别的，我至少可以告诉他们不该做什么。

在这一点上，我很自豪地指出，在我们与美国机构的决议中，他们不指控币安挪用任何用户资金，并且不指控币安参与任何市场操纵。资金安全！

因此，我期待看到新领导层上任。请和我一起祝贺理查德当之无愧的晋升。

向前！

Today, I stepped down as CEO of Binance. Admittedly, it was not easy to let go emotionally. But I know it is the right thing to do. I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility. This is best for our community, for Binance, and for myself.

Binance is no longer a baby. It is time for me to let it walk and run. I know Binance will continue to grow and excel with the deep bench it has.

I’m pleased to announce that 

@_RichardTeng

, our now former Global Head of Regional Markets, has been named the new CEO of Binance today.

Richard is a highly qualified leader and, with over three decades of financial services and regulatory experience, he will navigate the company through its next period of growth. He will ensure Binance delivers on our next phase of security, transparency, compliance, and growth.

Prior to joining Binance, Richard was CEO of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM); Chief Regulatory Officer of the Singapore Exchange (SGX); and Director of Corporate Finance in the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

With Richard and the entire team, I’m confident that the best days for 

@Binance

 and the crypto industry lay ahead.

As a shareholder and former CEO with historical knowledge of our company, I will remain available to the team to consult as needed, consistent with the framework set out in our U.S. agency resolutions.

What’s next for me?

I will take a break first. I have not had a single day of real (phone off) break for the last 6 and half years.

After that, my current thinking is I will probably do some passive investing, being a minority token/shareholder in startups in areas of blockchain/Web3/DeFi, AI and biotech. I am happy that I will finally have more time to spend looking at DeFi.

I can’t see myself being a CEO driving a startup again. I am content being an one-shot (lucky) entrepreneur. Should there be listeners, I may be open to being a coach/mentor to a small number of upcoming entrepreneurs, privately. If for nothing else, I can at least tell them what not to do.

On that note, I am proud to point out that in our resolutions with the U.S. agencies they:

- do not allege that Binance misappropriated any user funds, and

- do not allege that Binance engaged in any market manipulation.

Funds are SAFU!

With that, I look forward to seeing the new leadership take the reins. Please join me in congratulating Richard on his well-deserved promotion.

Onwards!
