Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission Issues Warning Amidst Surge in Crypto Scam Reports and Heightened Regulatory Scrutiny

香港證券及期貨事務監察委員會在加密貨幣詐騙報告激增及監管審查加強之際發出警告

Heightened Vigilance

提高警覺

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong has issued an alert to the public, cautioning against the activities of two crypto trading platforms—CBEX Group and Bitget Pro—amidst allegations of fraudulent virtual asset-related activities. This warning comes at a time when the crypto market is experiencing significant volatility and a surge in reports of scams, prompting increased regulatory attention.

香港證券及期貨事務監察委員會（證監會）向公眾發出警告，對兩個加密貨幣交易平台 CBEX Group 和 Bitget Pro 的活動提出警告，指控其存在與虛擬資產相關的詐欺活動。這項警告發出之際，加密貨幣市場正經歷大幅波動，詐騙報告激增，引發了更多監管機構的關注。

Acting on numerous user complaints regarding difficulties in withdrawing funds, the SFC has placed both entities on its watchlist, advising investors to exercise extreme caution. The SFC has reason to believe that CBEX Group and Bitget Pro may have engaged in deceptive practices, potentially falsifying withdrawal records to mislead users.

鑑於眾多用戶對提取資金困難的投訴，證監會已將這兩個實體列入其觀察名單，建議投資者格外謹慎。證監會有理由相信CBEX集團及Bitget Pro可能有欺騙行為，可能偽造提款紀錄以誤導使用者。

Regulatory Crackdown on Fraudulent Entities

監管打擊詐欺實體

In recent years, the authorities in Hong Kong have intensified efforts to combat the proliferation of fraudulent actors targeting unsuspecting individuals in the crypto space. Scammers often create illegitimate websites that mimic legitimate trading platforms to deceive and exploit unsuspecting victims.

近年來，香港當局加大力度打擊加密貨幣領域針對毫無戒心的個人的欺詐行為的氾濫。詐騙者經常創建模仿合法交易平台的非法網站來欺騙和利用毫無戒心的受害者。

In response to these growing concerns, the SFC has taken swift action, urging the Hong Kong Police Force to block access to the suspect websites operated by CBEX Group and Bitget Pro. Additionally, the SFC has disseminated warnings to the public, highlighting the importance of due diligence when engaging in any crypto-related transactions.

為了應對這些日益嚴重的擔憂，證監會已迅速採取行動，敦促香港警務處阻止訪問 CBEX 集團和 Bitget Pro 運營的可疑網站。此外，證監會也向公眾發出警告，強調在進行任何加密貨幣相關交易時盡職調查的重要性。

SFC's Stance on Investor Protection Amidst Crypto Market Volatility

證監會在加密貨幣市場波動中對投資者保護的立場

The SFC emphasizes that investors must remain vigilant and exercise caution when making investment decisions, as fraudulent activities can involve various types of assets and occur across multiple channels, posing substantial financial risks.

證監會強調，投資人在做出投資決策時必須保持警惕和審慎，因為詐欺活動可能涉及多種資產並透過多種管道發生，構成重大財務風險。

The recent collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange has served as a watershed moment in the regulatory landscape, leading to the implementation of stricter guidelines for crypto businesses in various jurisdictions worldwide.

最近 FTX 加密貨幣交易所的倒閉成為了監管格局的分水嶺，導致全球各個司法管轄區對加密業務實施了更嚴格的指導方針。

In Hong Kong, the SFC has consistently issued guidelines and engaged in discussions with stakeholders within the crypto sector. While investor protection remains a paramount concern, the country also aims to foster innovation and promote the responsible development of web3 technologies, striking a balance between protecting investors and promoting sustainable growth within the industry.

在香港，證監會持續發布指引並與加密貨幣產業內的利害關係人進行討論。雖然投資者保護仍然是最重要的問題，但該國也致力於促進創新並促進 web3 技術的負責任發展，在保護投資者和促進行業可持續增長之間取得平衡。

FTX Bankruptcy Claims and Market Turmoil

FTX破產索賠和市場動盪

The bankruptcy of FTX has sent shockwaves through the crypto market, leaving a trail of uncertainty and legal challenges. However, amidst the turmoil, some hedge funds and investment firms have managed to capitalize on opportunities presented by FTX's bankruptcy.

FTX 的破產為加密貨幣市場帶來了衝擊，留下了一系列的不確定性和法律挑戰。然而，在動盪之中，一些對沖基金和投資公司卻成功地利用了 FTX 破產帶來的機會。

A London-based distressed asset trading firm has reportedly achieved record profits of 200% by acquiring FTX claims. However, the largest transaction has hit a snag, resulting in legal action. As bankruptcy lawyers estimate a potential 100% return on funds frozen during the FTX collapse and crypto prices fluctuate, companies like London-based Attestor Ltd are actively purchasing claims to maximize profits.

據報道，一家總部位於倫敦的不良資產交易公司透過收購 FTX 債權實現了創紀錄的 200% 利潤。然而，最大的一筆交易遇到了障礙，導致了法律訴訟。由於破產律師估計 FTX 崩潰和加密貨幣價格波動期間凍結的資金可能獲得 100% 的回報，總部位於倫敦的 Attestor Ltd 等公司正在積極購買債權，以實現利潤最大化。

Attestor's Multi-Million Dollar Claim and Legal Dispute

證明人數百萬美元索賠及法律糾紛

Attestor currently holds the largest FTX claim, having acquired claims from Lemma Technologies, one of the largest FTX account holders, for $58 million in 2023. The value of the claims has since surged, potentially exceeding $165 million—representing an over 200% return on the initial investment.

Attestor 目前持有最大的FTX 索賠，於2023 年以5800 萬美元的價格從最大的FTX 帳戶持有者之一Lemma Technologies 手中收購了索賠。超過200% 的回報率初始投資。

However, purchasing claims carries greater risks compared to acquiring defaulted bonds or loans. Amidst the escalating cryptocurrency market, Lemma Technologies—owned by a South Korean dealer—has decided to retain the claim for itself, prompting Attestor's legal action in New York court on March 18, alleging "seller's remorse."

然而，與購買違約債券或貸款相比，購買債權的風險更大。在加密貨幣市場不斷升級的情況下，一家韓國經銷商擁有的 Lemma Technologies 決定保留自己的索賠要求，促使 Attestor 於 3 月 18 日在紐約法院提起法律訴訟，指控「賣方悔恨」。

The legal dispute adds to the drama surrounding FTX's bankruptcy. Lemma Technologies has yet to respond to Attestor's lawsuit, while its major investor, Junho Bang, faces charges in South Korea related to alleged theft of digital assets from Haru Invest.

這場法律糾紛加劇了 FTX 破產的戲劇性。 Lemma Technologies 尚未對 Attestor 的訴訟作出回應，而其主要投資者 Junho Bang 在韓國面臨涉嫌盜竊 Haru Invest 數位資產的指控。

South Korean Authorities Crack Down on Cryptocurrency-Related Fraud

韓國當局打擊與加密貨幣相關的詐欺行為

In February, South Korean authorities charged Junho Bang with stealing digital assets from Haru Invest and detained three executives of the yield platform for allegedly embezzling 1.1 trillion won ($828 million) in cryptocurrency. Haru Invest, which suspended withdrawals in June, had earlier advertised yields of up to 50%.

今年 2 月，韓國當局指控 Junho Bang 竊取 Haru Invest 的數位資產，並拘留了該收益平台的三名高管，罪名是涉嫌挪用 1.1 兆韓元（合 8.28 億美元）的加密貨幣。 Haru Invest 在 6 月暫停了提款，早些時候曾宣稱收益率高達 50%。

Court documents obtained by Bloomberg News suggest that Junho Bang, who was identified as the majority shareholder of B&S, a crypto trading firm that invested in FTX's FTT Token, transferred his FTX claim to Lemma in January 2023.

彭博社獲得的法庭文件顯示，Junho Bang 被確定為投資 FTX 的 FTT 代幣的加密貨幣交易公司 B&S 的大股東，並於 2023 年 1 月將其 FTX 債權轉移給了 Lemma。

Ongoing Investigation and Market Volatility

持續調查和市場波動

The legal disputes surrounding Attestor's FTX claim and the criminal charges against Junho Bang underscore the complex and evolving regulatory landscape within the crypto industry, both in Hong Kong and globally.

圍繞 Attestor 的 FTX 索賠的法律糾紛以及對 Junho Bang 的刑事指控凸顯了香港和全球加密行業內複雜且不斷變化的監管環境。

As the market continues to grapple with volatility and uncertainty, regulatory authorities are expected to maintain a heightened level of scrutiny, focusing on protecting investors from fraud and promoting responsible practices within the crypto ecosystem.

隨著市場繼續應對波動性和不確定性，監管機構預計將保持更高水準的審查，重點是保護投資者免受詐欺並促進加密生態系統內的負責任實踐。
