[The U.S. Department of Justice filed a motion to prohibit CZ from leaving the United States before sentencing] On November 23, John Reed Stark, former director of the U.S. SEC's Office of Internet Enforcement, posted on the X platform that on Tuesday, after CZ pleaded guilty, U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian A. Tsuchida allowed CZ to return to the UAE before sentencing, but the U.S. Department of Justice asked Judge Richard A. Jones to review the decision and order CZ to stay in the United States. According to the Department of Justice, the reasons for detaining CZ are: 1. CZ is very rich and a billionaire; 2. Most of CZ's wealth may be beyond the control of U.S. authorities; 3. CZ lives in the UAE, which has no extradition treaty with the United States; 4. Although CZ voluntarily appeared in court to plead guilty, as the possibility of imprisonment increases, CZ is likely to choose not to come back to accept the verdict. Under the terms of the current bond agreement, CZ can leave the United States because he has deposited $15 million in a trust account, signed a $175 million personal guarantee bond, and found a guarantor to provide additional funds.
