The 2023 criminal case ended in a $4.32 billion penalty and Zhao later received a pardon, but scrutiny resumed in 2026. Senators sought records about alleged transactions tied to Iran-backed groups, and Bloomberg Law reported in September that DOJ was investigating possible Iran-sanctions violations. Binance disputes the allegations, and no new charge has been announced.

Depositors were protected and most of the bank was sold, but accountability litigation continues. An August 2026 decision allowed the FDIC to offset the former parent's $1.71 billion deposit claim, and a September Federal Reserve review faulted supervisory inaction and risk-averse culture.

Najib Razak is appealing a new 15-year 1MDB sentence and a major civil judgment. On September 18, 2026, Malaysia's king granted clemency allowing him to serve the remainder of his earlier SRC-linked term under house arrest, while the separate 1MDB sentence and other proceedings remain active.

Milton was pardoned, but his civil and bankruptcy liabilities survived. The Ninth Circuit affirmed Nikola's roughly $168 million arbitration award in February 2026, and a Delaware court in September upheld subordination of Milton's nearly $70 million bankruptcy claim because the pardon did not erase the underlying conduct.

The Connecticut judgment remains, but a Texas appeals court cut a separate roughly $50 million judgment to about $6 million in August 2026.

The 2025 clemency order released or pardoned more than 1,500 defendants.
