KuCoin卷入指控：用户资产面临风险吗？

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

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."

该交易所在一份挑衅性的声明中宣称，“KuCoin正在无缝运行，委托给我们的资金不受侵犯。我们正在密切关注事态的发展，并与法律顾问合作以确定具体细节。”

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

指控出现后仅几个小时，KuCoin 就做出了傲慢的回应，表现出了强硬的立场：

"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？那是我挖掘加密宝石的避难所，轻松使我的投资翻倍。”

Allegations Unravel: Unlicensed Money Transmission, Lax AML Practices

指控揭晓：未经许可的资金传输、宽松的反洗钱做法

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."

美国纽约南区 (SDNY) 提起的起诉书对 KuCoin 联合创始人 Chun Gan 和 Ke Tang 提出了一系列指控。据称，这两人合谋经营未经许可的汇款业务，并“故意不遵守反洗钱（AML）协议”。

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.

检察官指控，尽管 KuCoin 在美国开展了大量业务，但其并未在商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 或金融犯罪执法网络 (FinCEN) 注册为持牌货币转移机构。

"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."

检察官断言：“自 2017 年成立以来，超过 50 亿美元的可疑和非法资金通过 KuCoin 平台流动。” “事实证明，缺乏 KYC 验证对于促进其发展和突出地位至关重要。”

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 的一项平行投诉称，KuCoin“在 2019 年 7 月至 2023 年 6 月期间提供和执行商品衍生品，而没有为美国居民实施适当的 KYC 程序”。该机构还指控KuCoin未能实施IP验证措施以阻碍美国用户的访问。
