此舉是在三人對與洗錢和違反《銀行保密法》有關的指控認罪之後。

According to a March 28 report by CNBC, Trump granted the pardons. However, the White House had not yet confirmed the decision. This follows a trend of controversial pardons granted by Trump, which also included pardons for people involved in the January 6 Capitol riot and Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road.

根據CNBC 3月28日的報告，特朗普授予了赦免。但是，白宮尚未確認這一決定。這是在特朗普授予的有爭議的赦免趨勢之後，其中還包括針對1月6日Capitol Riot和Silk Road的創始人Ross Ulbricht的赦免。

Legal History of BitMEX Co-Founders

Bitmex聯合創始人的法律曆史

In February 2022, Arthur Hayes and Benjamin Delo pleaded guilty to failing to establish proper Anti-Money Laundering (AML) programs at BitMEX, in violation of U.S. financial regulations. Samuel Reed followed shortly after, also admitting his role in the legal violations.

2022年2月，亞瑟·海斯（Arthur Hayes）和本傑明·德洛（Benjamin Delo）承認未能在BITMEX建立適當的反洗錢計劃（AML）計劃，違反了美國金融法規。不久之後，塞繆爾·里德（Samuel Reed）也承認他在法律違規中的角色。

The legal troubles arose from accusations that the exchange allowed users to engage in transactions without proper oversight, breaching U.S. laws designed to prevent money laundering. These actions resulted in federal charges and scrutiny from U.S. authorities, ultimately leading to guilty pleas from the three men.

法律麻煩源於指控，交易所允許用戶在不適當監督的情況下進行交易，違反旨在防止洗錢的法律。這些行動導致了美國當局的聯邦指控和審查，最終導致了三名男子的罪名。

Financial Penalties and Civil Cases

經濟罰款和民事案件

As part of the settlement with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Hayes, Delo, and Reed were ordered to pay $30 million in penalties. This was part of a broader legal resolution where BitMEX and its parent company, HDR Global Trading Limited, settled to pay $100 million in 2021 as part of an agreement with the CFTC and the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

作為與美國商品期貨交易委員會（CFTC），海斯，德洛和里德的和解的一部分，被命令支付3000萬美元的罰款。這是Bitmex及其母公司HDR Global Trading Limited的更廣泛法律解決方案的一部分，在2021年與CFTC和美國金融犯罪執法網絡（FINCEN）達成協議。

Furthermore, the CFTC and U.S. authorities imposed additional financial burdens on HDR Global Trading. In January 2023, a judge imposed a $100 million fine on the company, along with two years of unsupervised probation.

此外，CFTC和美國當局對HDR全球交易施加了額外的財務負擔。 2023年1月，一名法官向該公司罰款1億美元，並進行了兩年的無監管緩刑。

Trump’s Pardon Raises Questions

特朗普的赦免提出了問題

The rationale behind Trump’s pardon is not clear yet. At the time of the report’s publication, the White House had not issued a statement about it. This decision is part of a broader pattern of pardons for high-profile figures who are facing legal challenges. However, the BitMEX case is noteworthy due to its connection to a major cryptocurrency exchange.

特朗普赦免背後的理由尚不清楚。在報告出版時，白宮尚未發表有關它的聲明。對於面臨法律挑戰的備受矚目的人物，這一決定是更廣泛的赦免模式的一部分。但是，由於BITMEX情況與主要的加密貨幣交換有關，因此值得注意。

This case implicates leaders of BitMEX who were facing serious legal consequences in the U.S. The legal issues encountered by BitMEX highlight the broader difficulties that cryptocurrency exchanges face when attempting to comply with U.S. financial regulations. While the company continued its operations after the legal proceedings, its founders’ legal troubles have had a significant impact on the exchange’s reputation. Moreover, the financial penalties imposed on the company further complicate the situation.

該案件暗示BITMEX的領導人在美國面臨嚴重的法律後果，Bitmex遇到的法律問題強調了加密貨幣交流在試圖遵守美國財務法規時面臨的更廣泛的困難。儘管該公司在法律訴訟後繼續其運營，但其創始人的法律麻煩對交易所的聲譽產生了重大影響。此外，對公司施加的經濟處罰使情況更加複雜。
