韩国检察官对Bithumb加密货币交易所的调查就不当使用公司资金的索赔

韩国的检察官已经对该国最大的加密货币交易所之一Bithumb进行了调查，该声称是不当使用公司资金

Prosecutors in South Korea have reportedly launched an investigation into Bithumb, one of the country’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, over claims that company funds were improperly used to assist a former executive in purchasing an apartment.

据报道，韩国的检察官已经对该国最大的加密货币交易所之一Bithumb进行了调查，他声称公司资金被不当用来帮助前高管购买公寓。

Officials from the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office raided Bithumb’s headquarters in Yeoksam-dong and other locations on Wednesday, Yonhap News reported.

据Yonhap News报道，来自首尔南部地区检察官办公室的官员在周三袭击了Bithumb在Yeoksam-dong和其他地点的官员。

The probe focuses on allegations that Bithumb provided a 3 billion KRW ($2 million) security deposit for an apartment rental in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, for Kim Dae-sik, the company’s former CEO and current advisor.

该调查的重点是指控Bithumb为在首尔Seongsu-Dong的一间公寓租金的租金为公司前首席执行官兼现任顾问Kim Dae-Sik提供了30亿KRW（200万美元）的保证金。

Kim allegedly used the funds to purchase an apartment in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and encountered difficulties making rental payments after failing to sell the property.

据称，金（Kim）使用这些资金购买了在首尔江南（Gangnam-Gu）的一间公寓，并在未能出售该物业后遇到了租金的困难。

To assist Kim, Bithumb reportedly withdrew the security deposit funds despite not being directly involved in the apartment purchase.

为了协助金，据报道，尽管没有直接参与公寓购买，但据报道，Bithumb撤回了保证金。

The Financial Supervisory Service, South Korea’s financial regulator, initially reviewed the case before forwarding it to prosecutors.

韩国的金融监管机构，金融监管服务部门最初对案件进行了审查，然后再将其转发给检察官。

Speaking to The Chosun Daily, a Bithumb spokesperson reportedly acknowledged some of the allegations were correct, adding Kim repaid the loaned amount in its entire after securing a loan.

据报道，Bithumb发言人在对Chosun Daily的讲话中说，某些指控是正确的，并在获得贷款后补充了Kim的全部借款金额。

The spokesperson said: “It is true that our company provided the security deposit funds for the apartment rental, and the company also made some contributions to a former executive’s project.”

发言人说：“确实，我们公司为公寓租赁提供了保证金资金，该公司还为前高管项目做出了一些贡献。”

The statement continued: “The former CEO fully repaid the borrowed amount after securing a loan from a bank to sell the apartment. We also used part of the project fund payment to invest in the project.”

声明继续说：“前首席执行官在从银行获得贷款以出售公寓后全额偿还了借贷金额。我们还使用项目基金付款的一部分投资于该项目。”

Earlier this year, Wu Blockchain reported that some projects had paid up to $10 million in fees to list their tokens on Upbit and Bithumb.

今年早些时候，WU区块链报告说，一些项目已支付高达1000万美元的费用，以列出其在Upbit和Bithumb上的代币。

The report claimed that projects applying for listing on Upbit had to pay a fee of $5 million to $10 million, while those applying for listing on Bithumb had to pay $3 million to $5 million.

该报告声称，申请上市上市的项目必须支付500万至1000万美元的费用，而申请Bithumb上市的项目必须支付300万美元至500万美元。

The report also claimed that projects applying for listing on smaller exchanges had to pay a fee of $1 million to $3 million.

该报告还声称，申请较小交易所上市的项目必须支付100万美元至300万美元的费用。

However, these claims could not be immediately verified. CoinDesk has reached out to Upbit for comment.

但是，这些主张无法立即得到验证。 Coindesk已与Upbit接触以进行评论。

Bithumb has faced multiple legal challenges in recent years, including tax probes and a raid related to a price manipulation probe. Its latest challenge comes as the firm was reported to be considering listing shares on the Nasdaq.

近年来，Bithumb面临着多个法律挑战，包括税收调查和与价格操纵调查有关的突袭。据报道，该公司正在考虑在纳斯达克股份上市股票，因此其最新挑战是出于最新挑战。
