幣安創辦人 CZ 透露監獄看守向他詢問加密貨幣投資技巧

幣安創辦人趙長鵬透露，加州一所懲教所的獄警向他尋求加密貨幣投資建議

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao encountered an unusual situation during his recent confinement in a California correctional facility: prison guards approached him for cryptocurrency investment advice.

幣安創始人趙長鵬最近在加州懲教所被監禁期間遇到了一個不尋常的情況：獄警向他尋求加密貨幣投資建議。

Zhao, who is facing legal consequences for money laundering violations tied to his exchange, revealed this incident during a speech at the Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai.

趙正因其與交易所相關的洗錢違規行為而面臨法律後果，他在迪拜幣安區塊鏈週的演講中透露了這一事件。

"A couple of guards recognized me and then asked me, ‘What coin should I buy?'" he said, adding that the guards' interest in crypto despite his situation highlights how mainstream the asset class has become.

「幾個警衛認出了我，然後問我，『我應該買什麼幣？』」他說，並補充說，儘管他的情況如此，但警衛們對加密貨幣的興趣凸顯了該資產類別已成為多麼主流。

However, Zhao noted that he explained to the guards that he had no internet access and limited information due to confinement.

然而，趙指出，他向警衛解釋說，由於隔離，他無法上網，資訊也有限。

"I told them, look, I'm inside. I don't have any access to information… so we don't talk about crypto," he said.

「我告訴他們，看，我在裡面。我無法獲取任何資訊……所以我們不談論加密貨幣，」他說。

Zhao's stint in the correctional facility followed his guilty plea to U.S. money laundering charges earlier this year, which resulted in a four-month sentence.

趙在今年稍早對美國的洗錢指控認罪後被關押在懲教所，最終被判四個月徒刑。

Prosecutors alleged that Binance, under Zhao's leadership, failed to adequately monitor and report over 100,000 suspicious transactions for more than four years, involving groups such as Hamas, al-Qaeda, and ISIS.

檢察官稱，幣安在趙的領導下，在四年多的時間裡未能充分監控和報告超過 10 萬筆可疑交易，涉及哈馬斯、基地組織和伊斯蘭國等組織。

They also cited Binance's facilitation of child exploitation materials sales and a significant influx of ransomware earnings.

他們還指出，幣安為兒童剝削材料的銷售提供了便利，並且勒索軟體收入大量湧入。

In response to these violations, Binance was hit with a record-breaking $4.32 billion penalty from the U.S. Department of Justice, while Zhao personally agreed to pay a $50 million criminal fine and an additional $50 million to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

針對這些違規行為，幣安被美國司法部處以創紀錄的 43.2 億美元罰款，而趙本人則同意支付 5,000 萬美元的刑事罰款，並向商品期貨交易委員會（CFTC）額外支付 5,000 萬美元。

During his speech, Zhao also shared his observations of prison life, describing inmates as "very nice people" and noting that some appeared to be serving extended sentences for minor offenses.

趙在演講中還分享了他對監獄生活的觀察，稱囚犯是“非常好的人”，並指出有些人似乎因輕罪而被延長刑期。

"I think a decent portion of them have no reason to be there… they’re super nice guys," he commented.

「我認為他們中的相當一部分人沒有理由去那裡......他們是超級好人，」他評論道。
