Jack Dorsey旗下Block擬與紐約就洗錢指控達成和解

Jack Dorsey的Block正與紐約州就洗錢指控進行和解談判

由Jack Dorsey領導的支付公司Block Inc.表示,正在與紐約州監管機構進行談判,以解決有關其反洗錢(AML)和比特幣計劃的指控。

Block在2月24日向證券交易委員會(SEC)提交的文件中提到,該公司正與紐約州金融服務部(NYDFS)進行“持續談判”,討論“包括其銀行保密法/反洗錢和比特幣計劃的各個方面”。

該公司補充道:“公司正在與NYDFS進行對話,以確定此事是否能以可接受的條件達成和解。”

根據文件,Dorsey的Block目前涉及多項法律、監管和稅務相關事宜,包括和解、持續談判和調查。

文件指出,NYDFS在1月份提出了和解條件,並且討論仍在進行中,但文件中未提供具體細節。Block還表示,已為此事累計了一項負債,但認為該金額對其2024年的財務狀況並不重大。

Block在2021年1月至2023年3月之間受到多個美國州的資金傳輸監管機構的調查,調查發現該公司的AML計劃存在缺陷,特別是在遵守銀行保密法方面。

Block與多個州的資金傳輸監管機構在1月達成了和解協議,但紐約州不在其中。

Block未承認或否認任何不當行為,但同意就這些缺陷與各州的資金傳輸監管機構達成和解,並同意支付8000萬美元的罰款,預計在2025年2月之前完成支付。

作為和解的一部分,Block必須任命一名獨立顧問來審查和改善其AML計劃,並成立一個合規管理委員會來監督改正措施的執行。

此外,消費者金融保護局在1月份也對Cash App進行了調查,主要針對其處理客戶投訴和爭議的方式。

Block已支付5500萬美元的民事罰款,並同意向受影響的Cash App客戶支付7500萬至1.2億美元的賠償金。

該公司還與舊金山財政和稅務部門發生了爭執,該部門對2020年至2022年的稅收進行了審計,並聲稱在比特幣相關收入上欠繳額外稅款。

評論

Block Inc.的情況反映出加密貨幣行業面臨的監管挑戰,尤其是在反洗錢和合規性方面。隨著監管機構對加密貨幣公司的關注日益加強,這些公司必須更加重視自身的合規措施,否則將面臨巨額罰款和法律風險。Dorsey的Block雖然在市場上具有一定的影響力,但這些法律問題可能會對其業務運營和品牌形象造成長期影響。

此外,這也引發了對加密貨幣行業未來發展的思考。在監管日益嚴格的環境下,企業如何在合規與創新之間找到平衡,將成為其能否持續發展的關鍵。這不僅是Block的挑戰,也是整個行業需要面對的現實。
