Resignation from OKCoin

It's quite well-known that Zhao resigned from OKCoin in February 2015 (and a scandal followed), but unfortunately none of the mainstream English-language media covered that at the time, while CoinTelegraph, CoinDesk, CCN etc. (as well as blogs) aren't accepted as reliable sources on living persons' articles. If someone finds a source on language other than English (Chinese?), please add it. Ain92 (talk) 09:18, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contributed to collapse of FX exchange

Need a section that describes Zhao's hand in destroying its competitor FTX exchange. Zhao was given FTT tokens in payment for the sale of his stake in FTX. Zhao dumped his holdings of FTT after hearing of SBFs lobbying efforts against Zhao. When Zhao dumped his FTT, it caused the token to lose 90% of its value. FTX kept FTT as an asset on its books and borrowed against it, thus triggering margin calls and liquidity crises ...and a possible bankruptcy of filing FTX. 2600:6C56:6408:71:7972:A701:AB23:86C (talk) 05:44, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Zhao's dumping FTT (and his tweets about it) directly led to the FTX house of cards collapsing. He singlehandedly started a "bank run' on FTT. Enigma^msg 18:20, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTFORUM applies unless there are sources for this. Making unfounded accusations on a talk page is also not kosher and if this goes on we will have to blank this section. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Plenty of reliable sources if you care to look. [1] Enigma^msg 12:25, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, very good source and clearly due. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 23:15, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NPR source

Nice NPR in depth source about the lawsuit and BLP data about CZ. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 06:38, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese Nationality

Edits made to reflect the fact that CZ was born in China and is of Chinese nationality seem to be deleted by multiple users despite a source being provided. There seems to be a desire to censor this information from the page. Bluecenote (talk) 18:22, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:PROVEIT, "the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material." The source you cited [2] makes no mention of nationality. Your repeated reverts are a violation of WP:3RR. I've returned the article to its stable version. Please refrain from making such edits unless they contain a relevant reference from an independent secondary source. 162 etc. (talk) 19:33, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The source I cited clearly states that he was born in China and lived in China, you are not reading the source. These facts are also stated within the Wikipedia page multiple times. The definition of nationality is "The status of belonging to a particular nation by origin, birth, or naturalization." According to the definition of nationality, and the source listing the fact that CZ was both born in China and lived in China, proves that his nationality is Chinese. You are removing information from the page that is verified. Refrain from removing the information unless you can verify with a source that he was not born in China. Bluecenote (talk) 19:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not disputing his birthplace. However, Zhao is a citizen of the UAE and Canada.[3] See Chinese nationality law: "Chinese nationals who voluntarily acquire foreign citizenship automatically lose Chinese nationality."

Also, your continued edit warring is in bad faith. I urge you once again to carefully read WP:3RR and revert the article to its stable version. 162 etc. (talk) 16:04, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
