Cryptocurrency Misuse and Power Exchange

加密貨幣濫用和權力交換

The CCDI report alleges that Yao used cryptocurrencies to disguise bribes in the form of illicit “power for cash trading.” At the CSRC, Yao is accused of abusing his power to strike business deals, favoring companies in the technology sector and accepting large sums of bribes.

中紀委的報告稱，姚明使用加密貨幣以非法「現金交易權」的形式掩飾賄賂行為。在中國證監會，姚明被指控濫用職權達成商業交易、偏袒科技業公司以及收受巨額賄賂。

In addition to the cryptocurrency charges, Yao is accused of using his position to gain personal benefits, including having state-authorized bodies fund his personal expenses, manipulating personnel at the workplace, and negotiating deals on expensive software and hardware for certain organizations. The watchdog also slammed Yao for spending extravagantly, accepting gifts like Moutai liquor, hosting lavish dinners and even taking out loans amounting to millions of yuan.

除了加密貨幣指控外，姚明還被指控利用職務之便謀取個人利益，包括讓國家授權機構資助他的個人開支、操縱工作場所的人員，以及為某些組織就昂貴的軟體和硬體進行談判。監管機構也批評姚明花錢大手大腳，收受茅台酒等禮物，舉辦豐盛的宴會，甚至借了數百萬元的貸款。

As a consequence of his actions, Yao has been expelled from the party and dismissed from his government post by the CCDI. His illicit gains have been confiscated, and local prosecutors are considering pressing further charges against him.

姚明因上述行為，被中紀委給予開除黨籍、開除公職處分。他的非法所得已被沒收，當地檢察官正在考慮對他提出進一步指控。

Appointed to the CSRC in 1997, Yao held senior management positions for several years. His downfall highlights China's efforts to purge the financial technology and cryptocurrency sectors of corruption.

姚先生於1997年進入證監會，並擔任高階管理職多年。他的倒台凸顯了中國為清除金融科技和加密貨幣產業腐敗所做的努力。
