特朗普总统赦免币安创始人赵长鹏

摘要

唐纳德·特朗普总统赦免了币安创始人赵长鹏,后者此前因未能阻止其加密货币交易所上的非法活动而服刑。

唐纳德·特朗普总统已赦免币安创始人赵长鹏,币安是全球最大的加密货币交易所。赵长鹏此前因未能阻止平台上的非法活动,包括涉及儿童剥削、毒品贩运和恐怖主义的交易,而服刑四个月。

赵长鹏在加密社区中通常被称为CZ,他在社交媒体上表达了感激之情,称“非常感谢今天的赦免,感谢特朗普总统坚持美国对公平、创新和正义的承诺。”

白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特宣布了此次赦免,并批评了前一届政府对该案件的处理。她表示,拜登政府追究了“极其过重的刑罚”,且对加密货币行业“非常敌视”,并补充说特朗普总统“希望纠正这一过度行为”。

赵长鹏的定罪源于违反《银行保密法》,该法要求美国金融机构采取措施防止洗钱。检察官指出,币安允许超过150万笔虚拟货币交易,金额近9亿美元,违反了美国制裁规定,其中包括涉及哈马斯卡桑旅、基地组织和伊朗的交易。

在判刑时,赵长鹏承认了自己的不足,表示:“我在这里失败了。我深感遗憾,并对此表示歉意。”

此次赦免符合特朗普总统对加密货币行业的整体态度,此前他已撤销了多项由前届政府发起的针对加密公司的执法行动,并解散了司法部的加密执法团队。

赵长鹏与特朗普家族的关系值得关注。他和币安一直是特朗普家族部分加密企业的重要支持者。由特朗普及其子唐纳德·小特朗普和埃里克创立的加密项目World Liberty Financial发行的稳定币,通过阿联酋的一个投资基金获得了早期支持和信誉,该基金使用价值20亿美元的World Liberty稳定币购买了币安的股份。

赦免宣布后,World Liberty Finance的另一种代币价格显著上涨,其涨幅超过了其他主要加密货币,CoinMarketCap的数据证实了这一点。

赵长鹏的赦免将如何影响币安及其美国分支币安美国(Binance.US)的运营尚待观察,后者为美国居民提供更有限的交易选项。
