CZ 服刑期間淨資產翻倍

趙長鵬在四月宣判時就已經清楚，四個月的監禁對他來說只是一記小事，他出獄後將完好無損地保留大部分財產。

Changpeng Zhao’s net worth has doubled to an estimated $61 billion while serving a four-month prison sentence for violating U.S. anti-money-laundering law.

趙長鵬因違反美國反洗錢法而被判入獄四個月，其身家估計已翻倍至 610 億美元。

Zhao, known as CZ, pleaded guilty in April to a single count of failing to maintain an effective anti-money-laundering program at his cryptocurrency exchange, Binance. He agreed to pay a $50 million fine and serve four months in prison, a sentence that was widely seen as lenient.

趙（CZ）於 4 月承認了一項未能在其加密貨幣交易所幣安維持有效反洗錢計劃的罪名。他同意支付 5000 萬美元的罰款併入獄四個月，這一判決被普遍認為是寬大的。

CZ’s net worth was estimated at $33 billion by Forbes at the time of his sentencing, based on his 90% stake in Binance, which was valued at $40 billion. However, Forbes’ research found that CZ’s stake in BNB BNB , the cryptocurrency owned by Binance, is 94 million tokens, or 64% of the 147.5 million in circulation.

《富比士》在宣判時，根據 CZ 持有的幣安 90% 的股份（價值 400 億美元），他的淨資產估計為 330 億美元。然而，《富比士》研究發現，CZ 持有幣安旗下加密貨幣 BNB 的股份為 9,400 萬枚，佔流通量 1.475 億枚的 64%。

BNB has surged this year, nearly doubling to $596. The BNB credited to CZ by dint of his 90% ownership of Binance comes in two chunks: almost 42 million that was part of 80 million granted to the founding team in 2017 and more than 52 million that was left with the exchange as a result of a 100 million-token initial coin offering that attracted purchases of fewer than 11 million tokens.

BNB 今年飆升，幾乎翻倍至 596 美元。 CZ 憑藉其對幣安 90% 的所有權而獲得的 BNB 分為兩部分：近 4200 萬枚，這是 2017 年授予創始團隊的 8000 萬枚中的一部分，以及超過 5200 萬枚，這是由於1 億代幣的首次代幣發行吸引了不到1100 萬代幣的購買。

CZ’s BNB stake is worth $56 billion on paper, but if that supply were to be dumped on the market all at once, it would almost certainly depress the price. Valuing the tokens at half the market price makes them worth $28 billion, which, when added to the $33 billion valuation for CZ’s equity stake in the Binance exchange itself, puts his estimated wealth at about $61 billion.

CZ 持有的 BNB 股份帳面價值為 560 億美元，但如果這些供應立即傾銷到市場上，幾乎肯定會壓低價格。這些代幣的估值為市場價格的一半，使其價值 280 億美元，加上 CZ 在幣安交易所本身的股權估值為 330 億美元，他的估計財富約為 610 億美元。

That would jump him to 24th place on the Forbes billionaires list from 50th. He may move higher still. In the six months since CZ pleaded guilty, Binance has gained market share among crypto exchanges. The valuation of CZ’s 90% stake remains unchanged and would likely increase if the company’s results improve.

這將使他在福布斯億萬富翁排行榜上的排名從第 50 位躍升至第 24 位。他可能還會走得更高。自 CZ 認罪以來的六個月裡，幣安在加密貨幣交易所中的市佔率不斷增加。 CZ 90%股權的估值保持不變，如果公司業績改善，估值可能會增加。
