司法部指控庫幣違反反洗錢規定

Prosecutors claim that KuCoin intentionally circumvented U.S. AML and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations by falsely claiming to have no U.S. customers, despite having a substantial customer base in the United States. The government alleges that KuCoin facilitated the laundering of over $9 billion through its platform.

檢察官稱，儘管 KuCoin 在美國擁有大量客戶群，但謊稱沒有美國客戶，從而故意規避美國反洗錢和了解你的客戶 (KYC) 法規。政府指控 KuCoin 透過其平台協助洗錢超過 90 億美元。

"Financial institutions like KuCoin that benefit from operating in the United States must comply with U.S. law to combat crime and illicit financing."

The DOJ's charges include operating an unregistered futures commission merchant, failing to maintain sufficient risk management controls, and making false and misleading statements to U.S. regulators.

商品期貨交易委員會（CFTC）也對 KuCoin 提起了並行民事訴訟。美國司法部的指控包括經營未註冊的期貨佣金商、未能維持足夠的風險管理控制以及向美國監管機構做出虛假和誤導性陳述。

If convicted, the defendants face significant penalties, including fines and imprisonment. The charges highlight the growing scrutiny of cryptocurrency exchanges by U.S. authorities as they seek to prevent illicit activity in the digital asset market.

如果罪名成立，被告將面臨嚴厲的處罰，包括罰款和監禁。這些指控突顯了美國當局為了防止數位資產市場的非法活動而對加密貨幣交易所進行越來越嚴格的審查。
