        CZ would freguently post “4” in response to criticism or allegations. It was his way of saying all of the bad news about him was FUD.

        Hopefully he lands in jail, but I don’t think he’ll be coming to the US anytime soon.

        It’s in the article. The guy uses the number 4 as a symbol of his innocence or something along those lines.

        At some point CZ outlined a bunch of “rules” for winning bigly in crypto (read: “getting suckered by his scam”) and rule 4 was “Ignore FUD.” Ever since, when bad news happened he would just reply with “4” as a shorthand.
