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

香港证券及期货事务监察委员会在加密货币诈骗报告激增和监管审查加强之际发出警告

Heightened Vigilance

提高警惕

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.

香港证券及期货事务监察委员会（证监会）向公众发出警告，对两个加密货币交易平台 CBEX Group 和 Bitget Pro 的活动提出警告，指控其存在与虚拟资产相关的欺诈活动。这一警告发出之际，加密货币市场正经历大幅波动，诈骗报告激增，引发了监管机构的更多关注。

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.

鉴于众多用户对提取资金困难的投诉，证监会已将这两个实体列入其观察名单，建议投资者格外谨慎。证监会有理由相信CBEX集团及Bitget Pro可能存在欺骗行为，可能伪造提款记录以误导用户。

Regulatory Crackdown on Fraudulent Entities

监管打击欺诈实体

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.

近年来，香港当局加大力度打击加密货币领域针对毫无戒心的个人的欺诈行为的泛滥。诈骗者经常创建模仿合法交易平台的非法网站来欺骗和利用毫无戒心的受害者。

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.

为了应对这些日益严重的担忧，证监会已迅速采取行动，敦促香港警务处阻止访问 CBEX 集团和 Bitget Pro 运营的可疑网站。此外，证监会还向公众发出警告，强调在进行任何加密货币相关交易时尽职调查的重要性。

证监会在加密货币市场波动中对投资者保护的立场

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.

证监会强调，投资者在作出投资决策时必须保持警惕和审慎，因为欺诈活动可能涉及多种资产并通过多种渠道发生，构成重大财务风险。

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 加密货币交易所的倒闭成为了监管格局的分水岭，导致全球各个司法管辖区对加密业务实施了更严格的指导方针。

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，证监会持续发布指引并与加密货币行业内的利益相关者进行讨论。虽然投资者保护仍然是最重要的问题，但该国还致力于促进创新并促进 web3 技术的负责任发展，在保护投资者和促进行业可持续增长之间取得平衡。

FTX Bankruptcy Claims and Market Turmoil

FTX破产索赔和市场动荡

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 的破产给加密货币市场带来了冲击，留下了一系列的不确定性和法律挑战。然而，在动荡之中，一些对冲基金和投资公司却成功地利用了 FTX 破产带来的机会。

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.

据报道，一家总部位于伦敦的不良资产交易公司通过收购 FTX 债权实现了创纪录的 200% 利润。然而，最大的一笔交易遇到了障碍，导致了法律诉讼。由于破产律师估计 FTX 崩溃和加密货币价格波动期间冻结的资金可能获得 100% 的回报，总部位于伦敦的 Attestor Ltd 等公司正在积极购买债权，以实现利润最大化。

Attestor's Multi-Million Dollar Claim and Legal Dispute

证明人数百万美元索赔及法律纠纷

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 索赔，于 2023 年以 5800 万美元的价格从最大的 FTX 账户持有者之一 Lemma Technologies 手中收购了索赔。此后索赔的价值飙升，可能超过 1.65 亿美元，这意味着超过 200% 的回报率初始投资。

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，与购买违约债券或贷款相比，购买债权的风险更大。在加密货币市场不断升级的情况下，一家韩国经销商拥有的 Lemma Technologies 决定保留自己的索赔要求，促使 Attestor 于 3 月 18 日在纽约法院提起法律诉讼，指控“卖方悔恨”。

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.

这场法律纠纷加剧了 FTX 破产的戏剧性。 Lemma Technologies 尚未对 Attestor 的诉讼作出回应，而其主要投资者 Junho Bang 在韩国面临涉嫌盗窃 Haru Invest 数字资产的指控。

South Korean Authorities Crack Down on Cryptocurrency-Related Fraud

韩国当局打击与加密货币相关的欺诈行为

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，韩国当局指控 Junho Bang 窃取 Haru Invest 的数字资产，并拘留了该收益平台的三名高管，罪名是涉嫌挪用 1.1 万亿韩元（合 8.28 亿美元）的加密货币。 Haru Invest 在 6 月份暂停了提款，早些时候曾宣称收益率高达 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.

彭博社获得的法庭文件显示，Junho Bang 被确定为投资 FTX 的 FTT 代币的加密货币交易公司 B&S 的大股东，并于 2023 年 1 月将其 FTX 债权转移给了 Lemma。

Ongoing Investigation and Market Volatility

持续调查和市场波动

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.

围绕 Attestor 的 FTX 索赔的法律纠纷以及对 Junho Bang 的刑事指控凸显了香港和全球加密行业内复杂且不断变化的监管环境。

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.

随着市场继续应对波动性和不确定性，监管机构预计将保持更高水平的审查，重点是保护投资者免受欺诈并促进加密生态系统内的负责任实践。
