韩国加密货币平台 Delio 宣布破产，欠客户 $1.75B

Delio 的清算程序正在进行中，允许债权人在 2025 年 2 月 21 日之前提交债权。债权人会议计划于 2025 年 3 月 19 日举行。

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.

韩国加密货币平台 Delio 已被首尔法院宣布破产，欠客户 2450 亿韩元（17.5 亿美元）。自 2023 年 6 月以来，许多人一直无法提取资金。

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.

法院设定债权人在 Delio 清算程序中提交债权的截止日期为 2025 年 2 月 21 日。将于2025年3月19日召开债权人会议，讨论公司剩余资产和负债情况。

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,

根据法庭记录，Delio 将其客户存款的很大一部分委托给一家管理公司，该公司又将资金存入与 FTX 平台关联的账户。一名法庭官员表示，

“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.”

“债务人将客户存入的虚拟资产租赁并委托给管理公司管理，但其中很大一部分是存放在FTX账户中进行管理的。”

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.

随着 2022 年 11 月 FTX 崩溃，Delio 无法收回这些资产，导致流动性危机，影响了 2,800 名客户。

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 的破产是在一系列监管和法律挑战之后发生的。 2023 年 9 月，韩国金融情报机构 (FIU) 对 Delio 处以 18.3 亿韩元（134 万美元）的罚款，并建议解除首席执行官 Jeong Sang-ho 的职务。作为回应，Delio 对金融情报机构提起诉讼，指控其误解了管理虚拟资产平台的法律。

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.

郑相浩还面临欺诈、挪用公款和违反信托罪的指控。在法庭诉讼中，Jeong 辩称，根据平台条款，客户的存款不受“本金保护”。

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 成立于 2018 年，是第一家于 2022 年获得虚拟资产服务提供商 (VASP) 地位的韩国公司。然而，鉴于其财务困难，该公司提议将债务转移到新实体，并将自己出售给另一家公司寻求 VASP 身份。

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.

相关消息称，Delio 的姊妹公司 Haru Invest 于 2023 年 6 月与 Delio 同日停止运营后，也于 2024 年 11 月 20 日宣布破产。Haru Invest 对 B&S Holdings 提起诉讼，指控其提供虚假财务报告，这导致了它的垮台。

The turmoil at Haru Invest escalated in August 2023 when CEO Hugo Hyungsoo Lee was stabbed. The incident occurred during bankruptcy proceedings and involved an angry customer. Earlier, in February, authorities arrested Lee. He now faces charges together with other executives for alleged misconduct.

2023 年 8 月，Haru Invest 首席执行官 Hugo Hyungsoo Lee 被刺伤，混乱升级。该事件发生在破产程序期间，涉及一位愤怒的顾客。早些时候，二月份，当局逮捕了李。他现在与其他高管一起面临涉嫌不当行为的指控。
