KuCoin認罪罰款近3億美元 退出美國市場




KuCoin同意支付近3億美元罰款,因承認違法運營

KuCoin同意與美國司法部達成和解,承認一項未獲授權的資金轉移業務罪名。根據美國南區檢察官辦公室的公告,KuCoin將支付超過2.97億美元的罰款,並同意退出美國市場。

美國檢察官Danielle R. Sassoon在聲明中表示:「KuCoin未能實施必要的反洗錢政策,這些政策旨在識別犯罪行為者並防止非法交易。」她補充道,KuCoin被用來促成價值數十億美元的可疑交易,以及傳送潛在的犯罪收益,包括來自黑暗網絡市場和惡意軟件、勒索軟件及詐騙計劃的收益。

作為認罪協議的一部分,KuCoin同意至少在未來兩年內退出美國市場,並且該交易所的兩位創始人,Chun “Michael” Gan和Ke “Eric” Tang也將離開公司。

根據公告,KuCoin大約擁有150萬名註冊用戶,當中位於美國的用戶為其帶來約1.845億美元的手續費。公告指出,KuCoin的員工曾公開宣傳該交易所並沒有實施客戶身份驗證(KYC)程序。直到2023年8月,KuCoin才開始採用KYC流程,但並未對現有客戶實施。

Gan和Tang已同意放棄約270萬美元的資金,這些資金是因KuCoin在美國的運營而產生的。在KuCoin的新聞稿中,Gan表示他將辭去交易所職務,以確保其持續成功,並強調自己並無意違反任何美國或國際法律。

根據CoinGecko的數據,KuCoin的交易代幣KCS在當天上漲了10%,但該代幣的交易量較低。

評論

這一事件突顯了加密貨幣行業在合規性方面的嚴峻挑戰。KuCoin的案例不僅反映了該平台在監管上的失誤,也揭示了整個行業在面對法律框架時的脆弱性。隨著全球對加密貨幣的監管日益嚴格,交易平台必須重新審視其運營模式,確保符合當地法律要求,以免重蹈KuCoin的覆轍。

此外,KuCoin的退出對於美國的加密市場來說,無疑是一個損失,因為這意味著用戶將失去一個主要的交易平台。這也可能引發其他加密交易所的擔憂,促使它們加強合規措施,以避免類似的法律風險。未來,加密貨幣市場的參與者需要更加重視合規性,這不僅是為了自身的業務發展,也是為了整個行業的健康發展。

[Subject]: Young Asian female with "Imada Mio-inspired" doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large round expressive eyes, a small V-line face, and rosy cheeks. Her expression is innocent, energetic, and slightly flirty. [Hair]: Messy morning hair (剛睡醒的凌亂感), long dark brown hair, slightly tousled, natural volume. [Outfit]: Wearing an oversized translucent white button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫), unbuttoned at the top to reveal collarbones, creating a "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格). [Style]: Japanese Gravure Photobook style (寫真集風格), Pure & Sexy vibe, bright high-key lighting, soft skin texture, Fujifilm PRO 400H color tone. Base Setup
keep 100 percent facial information adherence of the attached image and turn her into a lone traveler posed on a sunlit desert dune ridge, captured as a live action photograph or movie still, not an illustration or CGI render, with a sexy, confident, heat soaked editorial mood.

Shot and Camera
Full body shot from slightly low height, framing her on the right third, with sweeping dunes rolling into the distance on the left, using a wide cinematic lens feel that keeps the landscape vast and minimal.

Identity and Pose
She has a slim, toned build, medium height impression, sun kissed skin, and long loose hair blown by the wind. She stands barefoot on the crest, one leg forward so the hip shifts naturally, one hand resting on her upper thigh and the other lightly gripping a sheer wrap at her side, wearing a high cut desert bikini with a gauzy open sarong that shows plenty of leg and midriff without nudity, head turned over her shoulder with a subtle, knowing smile, 8k Photorealistic and hyper realistic.

Lighting and Environment
Harsh midday sun from high right casts crisp shadows along her body and the dune ripples, with soft sky bounce filling the shadows enough to keep detail. The sand textures, wind carved ridges, and pale blue sky remain exactly like the reference, with faint footprints and slight imperfections grounding her on the slope.

Masking and Constraints
Change only by adding the subject and her wardrobe, keep dune shapes, lighting direction, perspective, horizon line, and white balance identical, preserving realistic body proportions and clear contact between her feet and the sand. Absolutely no added text, no painterly or toon look, no CGI plastic skin, no see through fabric on intimate areas, no warped limbs or floating feet, strictly require consistent perspective, natural film like grain, fine skin texture and sand detail, and physically correct contact shadows in the sand depressions around her feet. 一隻在香港茶餐廳喝奶茶的貓
