币安创始人 CZ 透露监狱看守向他询问加密货币投资技巧

币安创始人赵长鹏透露，加州一所惩教所的狱警向他寻求加密货币投资建议

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.

币安创始人赵长鹏最近在加州惩教所被监禁期间遇到了一个不寻常的情况：狱警向他寻求加密货币投资建议。

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.

赵正因其交易所相关的洗钱违规行为而面临法律后果，他在迪拜币安区块链周的演讲中透露了这一事件。

"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.

“几个警卫认出了我，然后问我，‘我应该买什么币？’”他说，并补充说，尽管他的情况如此，但警卫们对加密货币的兴趣凸显了该资产类别已成为多么主流。

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

然而，赵指出，他向警卫解释说，由于隔离，他无法上网，信息也有限。

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

“我告诉他们，看，我在里面。我无法获取任何信息……所以我们不谈论加密货币，”他说。

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.

赵在今年早些时候对美国的洗钱指控认罪后被关押在惩教所，最终被判四个月徒刑。

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.

检察官称，币安在赵的领导下，在四年多的时间里未能充分监控和报告超过 10 万笔可疑交易，涉及哈马斯、基地组织和伊斯兰国等组织。

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

他们还指出，币安为儿童剥削材料的销售提供了便利，并且勒索软件收入大量涌入。

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).

针对这些违规行为，币安被美国司法部处以创纪录的 43.2 亿美元罚款，而赵本人同意支付 5000 万美元的刑事罚款，并向商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）额外支付 5000 万美元。

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.

赵在演讲中还分享了他对监狱生活的观察，称囚犯是“非常好的人”，并指出有些人似乎因轻罪而被延长刑期。

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

“我认为他们中的相当一部分人没有理由去那里......他们是超级好人，”他评论道。
