币安高管举报贿赂后声称遭到不公平解雇

币安网前高管阿姆丽塔·斯里瓦斯塔瓦 (Amrita Srivastava) 向就业法庭表示，她被公司不公平地解雇，这让币安网持续存在的争议雪上加霜。

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has been hit with fresh allegations of misconduct, just months after agreeing to pay a record $4.3 billion to settle allegations of money laundering and sanction violations.

全球最大的加密货币交易所币安网 (Binance) 刚刚同意支付创纪录的 43 亿美元以和解洗钱和违反制裁行为的指控，几个月后又遭到新的不当行为指控。

A former UK-based executive at Binance has claimed she was fired after reporting a colleague for accepting a bribe to expedite a client’s application to integrate with the exchange’s systems.

币安的一位前英国高管声称，她在举报一名同事接受贿赂以加快客户与交易所系统集成的申请后被解雇。

Amrita Srivastava, who worked in Binance’s Link department, reported the alleged incident to senior management in April 2023, according to evidence presented at an employment tribunal.

根据就业法庭提供的证据，在币安 Link 部门工作的 Amrita Srivastava 于 2023 年 4 月向高级管理层报告了这一事件。

She was dismissed a month later, prompting questions over the company’s treatment of whistleblowers.

一个月后她被解雇，引发了对该公司对待举报人的质疑。

“I was not prepared to look the other way when someone had defrauded a customer and yet was still a part of the team,” Srivastava said.

斯里瓦斯塔瓦说：“当有人欺骗了客户但仍然是团队的一员时，我不准备对此视而不见。”

“The bribe was a clear violation of ethical standards, and I felt obligated to report it.”

“贿赂行为明显违反了道德标准，我觉得有义务举报。”

Binance has denied any link between the bribery allegations and Srivastava’s dismissal.

币安否认贿赂指控与 Srivastava 被解雇之间存在任何联系。

A spokesperson for the company told Bloomberg that Srivastava’s performance issues, not her bribery claims, led to her termination.

该公司发言人告诉彭博社，斯里瓦斯塔瓦的绩效问题，而不是她的贿赂指控，导致了她的解雇。

“The matter was already under review by the internal audit team when these allegations were made,” the spokesperson added.

该发言人补充说：“提出这些指控时，内部审计团队已经在审查此事。”

Binance has faced similar claims before, including accusations that it fired a market surveillance investigator who uncovered evidence of VIP clients engaging in manipulative practices like wash trading in the Binance marketplace.

币安此前也面临过类似的指控，包括指控其解雇了一名市场监督调查员，该调查员发现了 VIP 客户在币安市场进行虚假交易等操纵行为的证据。

In March, the exchange was also hit with allegations of insider trading.

今年三月，该交易所还受到内幕交易指控的打击。

Just before Binance announced the listing of BOME, a trader purchased 314 million tokens on a decentralized exchange for $2.3 million.

就在币安宣布上线 BOME 之前，一名交易员在一家去中心化交易所以 230 万美元购买了 3.14 亿枚代币。

Following the listing announcement, the value of the trader’s tokens skyrocketed to $8 million, raising suspicions of an unfair advantage.

上市公告发布后，该交易者的代币价值飙升至 800 万美元，引发了对不公平优势的怀疑。

However, an internal investigation by Binance concluded that the trader in question had no connection with the company.

然而，币安内部调查得出的结论是，该交易员与该公司没有任何关系。

The fresh allegations against Binance come as the exchange is still working to rebuild trust following its $4.3 billion settlement with the Justice Department, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the New York State Department of Financial Services.

针对币安的新指控出现之际，该交易所在与司法部、商品期货交易委员会和纽约州金融服务部达成 43 亿美元和解后，仍在努力重建信任。

The settlement, which was announced in December, resolved allegations that Binance operated an unlicensed money transmitting business and violated sanctions against Iran.

该和解协议于 12 月宣布，解决了有关币安经营未经许可的汇款业务并违反对伊朗制裁的指控。

As part of the settlement, Binance agreed to three months of independent monitoring and to report any suspected violations of law to the authorities.

作为和解协议的一部分，币安同意进行三个月的独立监控，并向当局报告任何涉嫌违法行为。

The exchange’s co-founder and former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, also agreed to step down from his role and to serve three months in prison for failing to supervise the company adequately.

该交易所联合创始人兼前首席执行官赵长鹏也同意辞去职务，并因未能充分监管公司而入狱三个月。
