韓國加密貨幣平台 Delio 宣布破產，欠客戶 $1.75B

Delio 的清算程序正在進行中，允許債權人在 2025 年 2 月 21 日之前提交債權。

South Korean crypto platform Delio has been declared bankrupt by a Seoul court, owing 245 billion won ($1.75 billion) to customers. Many have been unable to withdraw funds since June 2023.

韓國加密貨幣平台 Delio 已被首爾法院宣布破產，欠客戶 2,450 億韓元（17.5 億美元）。自 2023 年 6 月以來，許多人一直無法提取資金。

The court has set a deadline of Feb. 21, 2025 for creditors to submit their claims in Delio's liquidation proceedings. A creditors' meeting will be held on March 19, 2025 to discuss the company's remaining assets and liabilities.

法院設定債權人在 Delio 清算程序中提交債權的截止日期為 2025 年 2 月 21 日。將於2025年3月19日召開債權人會議，討論公司剩餘資產及負債狀況。

According to court records, Delio entrusted a significant portion of its customers' deposits to a management company, which in turn deposited the funds into accounts linked to the FTX platform. A court official stated,

根據法庭記錄，Delio 將其客戶存款的很大一部分委託給一家管理公司，該公司將資金存入與 FTX 平台關聯的帳戶。一名法庭官員表示，

“The debtor leased and entrusted the management of customer-deposit virtual assets to the management company, but a large part of it was deposited and managed in the FTX account.”

“債務人將客戶存入的虛擬資產租賃並委託給管理公司管理，但其中很大一部分是存放在FTX帳戶中進行管理的。”

With the collapse of FTX in November 2022, Delio was unable to recover these assets, leading to a liquidity crisis that affected 2,800 customers.

隨著 2022 年 11 月 FTX 崩潰，Delio 無法收回這些資產，導致流動性危機，影響了 2,800 名客戶。

Delio's bankruptcy follows a series of regulatory and legal challenges. In September 2023, the South Korea Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) fined Delio 1.83 billion won ($1.34 million) and recommended that CEO Jeong Sang-ho be removed from his position. Delio responded by filing a lawsuit against the FIU, alleging that it had misinterpreted the laws governing virtual asset platforms.

Delio 的破產是在一系列監管和法律挑戰之後發生的。 2023 年 9 月，韓國金融情報機構 (FIU) 對 Delio 處以 18.3 億韓元（134 萬美元）的罰款，並建議解除執行長 Jeong Sang-ho 的職務。作為回應，Delio 對金融情報機構提起訴訟，指控其誤解了管理虛擬資產平台的法律。

Jeong Sang-ho is also facing charges of fraud, embezzlement, and breach of trust. During court proceedings, Jeong argued that customers' deposits were not “principal protected” under the platform's terms.

鄭相浩還面臨詐欺、挪用公款和違反信託罪的指控。在法庭訴訟中，Jeong 辯稱，根據平台條款，客戶的存款不受「本金保護」。

Delio, founded in 2018, was the first South Korean company to achieve virtual asset service provider (VASP) status in 2022. However, in light of its financial troubles, the company proposed transferring its debt to a new entity and selling itself to another firm seeking VASP status.

Delio 成立於2018 年，是第一家於2022 年獲得虛擬資產服務提供者(VASP) 地位的韓國公司。一家公司尋求 VASP 身分。

In related news, Haru Invest, Delio's sister company, also declared bankruptcy on November 20, 2024, after ceasing operations on the same day as Delio in June 2023. Haru Invest filed a lawsuit against B&S Holdings, accusing it of providing false financial reports, which contributed to its downfall.
