False information spreading online suggested that the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, was seeking the immediate extradition of FTX CEO Sam Bankman Fried împreuna cu Cercetarea Alameda co-CEO Sam Trabucco to answer for their crimes of losing the Salvadoran people’s Bitcoin.

CEO al Binance, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, took to his Twitter account to put these rumors to bed, sharing that “the amount of misinformation is insane” and that he “exchanged messages with President Nayib a few moments ago.” He said that President Bukele told him, “We don’t have any Bitcoin in FTX and we never had any business with them. Thank God!”

Billionaire Mike Novogratz, who spread the misinformation in an interview with CNBC in a video that has now been deleted, took to his Twitter account to offer an apology to President Bukele and the Salvadoran people, sharing, “I fell for ‘fake news’ and while I mentioned I hadn’t confirmed it, I should have.” Novogratz thanked Binance’s CZ for “pointing it out.”
