CZ 和幣安控制 BNB 71%，淨資產 610 億美元

根據《富比士》報道，前幣安執行長趙長鵬 (CZ) 擁有幣安幣 (BNB) 流通量的 64%。

Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) owns a large portion of Binance Coin (BNB), with Forbes reporting that CZ personally holds 64% of the circulating supply, amounting to roughly 94 million tokens.

幣安前執行長趙長鵬 (CZ) 擁有幣安幣 (BNB) 的很大一部分，根據《富比士》報道，CZ 個人持有流通供應量的 64%，總計約 9,400 萬枚代幣。

A forensic analysis by Gray Wolf Analytics revealed that 80 million BNB tokens were initially allocated to the Binance founding team. Of these original tokens, the company still controls 46 million, sparking concerns that CZ may have been able to manipulate BNB prices in recent years.

Gray Wolf Analytics 的法證分析顯示，8,000 萬枚 BNB 代幣最初分配給了幣安創始團隊。在這些原始代幣中，該公司仍控制著 4,600 萬枚，引發了人們對 CZ 近年來可能能夠操縱 BNB 價格的擔憂。

CZ和幣安合計控制BNB 71%，淨資產610億美元

According to the report, Binance and CZ together hold 71% of the 147 million BNB in circulation. When combined with Zhao’s 90% equity stake in Binance and his crypto holdings, the CZ is reportedly the 24th richest person globally, with an estimated net worth of $61 billion.

報告稱，幣安和 CZ 合計持有流通中 1.47 億枚 BNB 的 71%。據報道，如果加上趙在幣安持有的 90% 股權以及他持有的加密貨幣，趙長鵬是全球第 24 位富豪，估計淨資產達 610 億美元。

BNB is the native token of the Binance exchange, used for fees and rewards on the platform. It has a maximum supply of 200 million tokens, with over 153 million currently circulating in the market. At $593 per token, BNB’s market cap stands at over $91 billion. The token’s price more than doubled from around $290 in January 2024 to a high of $724 in June.

BNB 是幣安交易所的原生代幣，用於平台上的費用和獎勵。它的最大供應量為 2 億個代幣，目前市場上流通的代幣超過 1.53 億個。以每個代幣 593 美元計算，BNB 的市值超過 910 億美元。該代幣的價格從 2024 年 1 月的 290 美元左右上漲了一倍多，達到 6 月的 724 美元高點。

“CZ Binance gave Market Makers an astounding 25% of #BNB supply to perform token manipulation fuckery,” crypto analyst Junko Suzuki said, adding:

加密貨幣分析師 Junko Suzuki 表示：「CZ Binance 向做市商提供了令人震驚的 25% 的 #BNB 供應量，以進行代幣操縱。」他補充道：

“Celsius, Bancor, FTX, XRP, #BNB, Luna, #BTC, Eth etc followed suit.”

“Celsius、Bancor、FTX、XRP、#BNB、Luna、#BTC、Eth 等紛紛效仿。”

CZ Stepped Down, Fined $50 Million, and Sentenced to Four Months

CZ 下台，罰款 5000 萬美元，被判四個月

In 2023, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) indicted Changpeng Zhao and Binance for allegedly violating sanctions and money laundering laws. Accused of knowing about illegal activities on the exchange as early as 2017, prosecutors said that Binance was used to launder billions of dollars in criminal proceeds.

2023 年，美國司法部 (DOJ) 起訴趙長鵬和幣安涉嫌違反制裁和洗錢法。檢察官被指控早在 2017 年就了解該交易所的非法活動，並稱幣安被用來洗錢數十億美元的犯罪所得。

Prosecutors added that CZ lied to regulators and shifted blame to lower-level employees to avoid responsibility for Binance’s misconduct.

檢察官補充說，CZ 向監管機構撒謊，並將責任轉移到較低級別的員工身上，以避免對幣安的不當行為承擔責任。

After pleading guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act, Zhao stepped down as CEO, with Richard Teng taking over the role. The settlement also included fines of $50 million for Zhao and $4.3 billion for Binance.

在承認違反《銀行保密法》後，趙辭去了執行長一職，由鄧理查德接任。和解協議還包括對趙罰款 5,000 萬美元，對幣安罰款 43 億美元。

Furthermore, the DOJ appointed the Forensic Risk Alliance to monitor Binance for the next three years.

此外，司法部也指定法證風險聯盟在未來三年內監督幣安。

On April 30, 2024, U.S. federal judge Richard Jones sentenced Zhao to four months in prison, a sentence that was less severe than the three years recommended by U.S. prosecutors. The charges were related to Zhao’s role in facilitating money laundering and violating sanctions.

2024 年 4 月 30 日，美國聯邦法官理查德瓊斯判處趙四個月監禁，這一刑期比美國檢察官建議的三年監禁要輕。這些指控與趙在協助洗錢和違反制裁方面的作用有關。
