KuCoin Embroiled in Allegations: Are User Assets at Risk?

KuCoin捲入指控：用戶資產面臨風險嗎？

The cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin asserts that its customers' assets remain secure despite a barrage of criminal and civil accusations from U.S. authorities.

加密貨幣交易所 KuCoin 聲稱，儘管美國當局提出了一系列刑事和民事指控，但其客戶的資產仍然安全。

In a defiant statement, the exchange declared, "KuCoin is operating seamlessly, and the funds entrusted to us are inviolable. We are closely monitoring the unfolding situation and collaborating with legal counsel to ascertain the specifics."

該交易所在一份挑釁性的聲明中宣稱，“KuCoin正在無縫運行，委託給我們的資金不受侵犯。我們正在密切關注事態的發展，並與法律顧問合作以確定具體細節。”

KuCoin's brash response, posted mere hours after the allegations emerged, exhibited an unyielding stance:

在指控出現後僅幾個小時，KuCoin 就做出了傲慢的回應，表現出了強硬的立場：

"You're referring to KuCoin? That's the sanctuary where I unearthed my crypto gems, doubling my investment with ease."

“你指的是KuCoin？那是我挖掘加密寶石的避難所，輕鬆使我的投資翻倍。”

Allegations Unravel: Unlicensed Money Transmission, Lax AML Practices

指控揭曉：未經許可的資金傳輸、寬鬆的反洗錢做法

The indictment filed by the U.S. Southern District of New York (SDNY) unleashes a barrage of accusations against KuCoin co-founders Chun Gan and Ke Tang. The duo allegedly conspired to operate an unlicensed money transmission business and "willfully failed to uphold anti-money laundering (AML) protocols."

美國紐約南區 (SDNY) 提起的起訴書對 KuCoin 聯合創始人 Chun Gan 和 Ke Tang 提出了一系列指控。據稱，這兩人合謀經營未經許可的匯款業務，並「故意不遵守反洗錢（AML）協議」。

Prosecutors allege that KuCoin, despite having significant operations in the U.S., neglected to register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) or the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as a licensed money transmitter.

檢察官指控，儘管 KuCoin 在美國開展了大量業務，但並未在商品期貨交易委員會 (CFTC) 或金融犯罪執法網絡 (FinCEN) 註冊為持牌貨幣轉移機構。

Furthermore, the exchange allegedly welcomed U.S. users without adhering to licensing requirements, constituting over 18% of its user base in 2018.

此外，據稱該交易所在不遵守許可要求的情況下歡迎美國用戶，2018 年美國用戶佔其用戶群的 18% 以上。

Suspicious Proceeds: KuCoin's Non-KYC Strategy under Scrutiny

可疑收益：KuCoin 的非 KYC 策略受到審查

"Over $5 billion in suspicious and illicit funds have flowed through KuCoin's platform since its inception in 2017," prosecutors assert. "The lack of KYC verification proved pivotal in facilitating its growth and prominence."

檢察官斷言：“自 2017 年成立以來，超過 50 億美元的可疑和非法資金通過 KuCoin 平台流動。” “事實證明，缺乏 KYC 驗證對於促進其發展和突出地位至關重要。”

A parallel complaint from the CFTC alleges that KuCoin "provided and executed commodity derivatives without implementing appropriate KYC procedures for U.S. residents between July 2019 and June 2023." The agency also alleges that KuCoin failed to implement IP verification measures to hinder U.S. users' access.

CFTC 的一項平行投訴稱，KuCoin「在 2019 年 7 月至 2023 年 6 月期間提供和執行商品衍生品，而沒有為美國居民實施適當的 KYC 程序」。該機構還指控KuCoin未能實施IP驗證措施以阻礙美國用戶的訪問。

Ongoing Proceedings: Co-Founders Still at Large

正在進行的訴訟：聯合創始人仍然逍遙法外

Both the criminal and civil proceedings remain active, with co-founders Chun Gan and Ke Tang still evading apprehension. Despite the gravity of the allegations, neither prosecutors nor regulators have accused KuCoin of mismanaging user assets.

刑事和民事訴訟都仍在進行中，聯合創始人甘春和唐柯仍未被逮捕。儘管指控很嚴重，但檢察官和監管機構都沒有指控庫幣對用戶資產管理不善。
