本月早些时候,尼日利亚联邦政府对四名尼日利亚加密货币交易员——Ejiogu A. Chinedu、Nnamdi F. Okereke 提起刑事诉讼
The Federal Government of Nigeria has filed a criminal lawsuit against four Nigerian crypto traders and some firms for conducting business, including USDT and Naira trades, effectively as financial institutions without a valid banking license.
尼日利亚联邦政府已对四名尼日利亚加密货币交易商和一些公司提起刑事诉讼,因为它们实际上作为没有有效银行执照的金融机构开展业务,包括 USDT 和奈拉交易。
According to the court filings, which Nairametrics exclusively obtained and reported, the government alleges that the charged defendants, through their business transactions, violated the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act of 2020. The government is seeking the Federal High Court in Abuja, the nation’s capital, to dispense the appropriate punishment.
根据 Nairametrics 独家获得和报道的法庭文件,政府声称被指控的被告通过其商业交易违反了 2020 年《银行和其他金融机构法》。政府正在向阿布贾联邦高等法院寻求审理。资本,给予相应的处罚。
This court case follows the investigation by the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) into alleged activities via several bank accounts of individuals using digital assets exchanges to manipulate the Naira’s value and launder proceeds from these activities.
尼日利亚经济和金融犯罪委员会 (EFCC) 对涉嫌通过多个银行账户进行的活动进行调查,利用数字资产交易所操纵奈拉的价值并洗钱这些活动的收益。
The EFCC filed a motion to freeze the identified accounts pending the conclusion of their investigation. The court later granted an interim order that saw over 1,00 accounts listed in the commission’s motion on April 24 frozen for over ninety days. These accounts held over N548.6 million, or roughly over $330,000 as of writing.
EFCC 提出动议,冻结已确定的账户,等待调查结束。法院随后颁布了一项临时命令,将委员会 4 月 24 日动议中列出的 100 多个账户冻结了 90 多天。截至撰写本文时,这些账户持有超过 5.486 亿奈拉,约合 33 万美元。
The charged parties were able to get their request to lift several freezing orders granted by the court. However, that was short-lived, as the commission filed a new motion to freeze these accounts until the conclusion of their investigation, which the court granted on September 4, after they had also separately filed criminal charges against the alleged operators of the accounts in question.
被指控方得以请求解除法院授予的几项冻结令。然而,这种情况是短暂的,因为委员会提出了一项新的动议,冻结这些账户直至调查结束,法院于 9 月 4 日批准了这项动议,此前他们还分别对涉嫌账户操作者提出了刑事指控。问题。
In the case filed by the Nigerian government, the prosecution stated that the defendants, the crypto traders, engaged in their business activities without being authorized dealers in Nigeria’s Autonomous Foreign Exchange Market (AFEM) where they allegedly publicly negotiated USDT to Naira rates, thereby being in breach of Section 29(1)(c) of the Foreign Exchange (Monitoring and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, which criminalizes any foreign exchange negotiation not permitted by the law.
在尼日利亚政府提起的案件中,检方表示,被告加密货币交易商在未经尼日利亚自治外汇市场(AFEM)授权交易商的情况下从事商业活动,据称他们在该市场公开协商 USDT 与奈拉的汇率,从而被违反《外汇(监控和杂项规定)法》第 29(1)(c) 条,该法将任何法律不允许的外汇谈判定为刑事犯罪。
Additionally, according to filings from the government in June and July, the defendants stand accused by the Nigerian government of engaging in business activities without a valid license all the way back from 2021 to January 2024.
此外,根据政府 6 月和 7 月提交的文件,尼日利亚政府指控被告自 2021 年至 2024 年 1 月一直在没有有效许可证的情况下从事商业活动。
Nevertheless, this is an ongoing court case, with legal teams from both sides making their case, accordingly. It remains unclear what the duration of this case will be, but we can expect it to go on for quite a while before the High Court makes a final decision.
尽管如此,这是一个正在进行的法庭案件,双方的法律团队都会相应地进行辩护。目前尚不清楚此案将持续多久,但我们预计在高等法院做出最终裁决之前,该案将持续相当长一段时间。
The Nigerian government’s lawsuit could set a chilling precedent for those providing P2P OTC services to be considered requiring a banking license to facilitate USDT and Naira trades or be deemed engaging in illicit activities with the judgment of this case—should the defendants be found guilty—serving as the base penalty.
尼日利亚政府的诉讼可能会开创一个令人不寒而栗的先例,那些提供 P2P OTC 服务的人将被考虑需要银行牌照才能促进 USDT 和奈拉交易,否则根据本案的判决,如果被告被判有罪,将被视为从事非法活动。作为基本惩罚。
Further, with Nigeria ranking as one of the top adopters and users of both USDT and Bitcoin according to data from Chainalysis, it’ll no doubt further exacerbate the operating climate for digital assets businesses.
此外,根据 Chainaanalysis 的数据,尼日利亚是 USDT 和比特币的最大采用者和用户之一,这无疑将进一步恶化数字资产业务的运营环境。
These developments are no surprise for those following the regulatory landscape in Nigeria. On the one hand, the Nigerian government is attempting to balance doing all it can to defend the Naira as it continues to plunge against the US Dollar and protect consumers and investors, and on the other hand trying to create an enabling environment for the digital assets space to thrive.
对于那些关注尼日利亚监管环境的人来说,这些发展并不令人意外。一方面,尼日利亚政府试图在奈拉兑美元持续贬值的情况下竭尽全力捍卫奈拉和保护消费者和投资者之间的平衡,另一方面试图为数字资产创造有利的环境蓬勃发展的空间。
However, until and unless there is a distinction between Bitcoin and the more wider space, we are likely to see more of these sorts of developments unfold.
然而,除非比特币和更广阔的空间之间存在区别,否则我们可能会看到更多此类发展。
We will have to wait and see how this lawsuit and other developments in the regulatory environment progress. Suffice it to say, it is not all doom and gloom. Now is the time for relevant stakeholders to constructively engage regulators to come to a more favorable position for all parties, government inclusive.
我们将不得不等待,看看这起诉讼以及监管环境中的其他进展如何进展。可以说,这并不全是厄运和阴郁。现在是相关利益相关者与监管机构进行建设性接触的时候了,以便为包括政府在内的各方取得更有利的立场。
