Last night, the crypto world focused on the announcements that the US would make regarding Binance starting from 23:30. According to the statement made by the US Department of Justice, it was stated that Binance exhibited an approach focused on growth and profit instead of compliance with US laws. It was emphasized that Binance, which was launched in 2017, did not implement controls and procedures to prevent money laundering. Attention was drawn to the exchange’s policy of attracting customers with high volume, including the US. Let’s take a look at the statements and the price changes in Bitcoin and altcoins.

昨晚，加密世界關注美國將於23點30分開始發布的關於幣安的公告。根據美國司法部的聲明，幣安表現出注重成長和利潤而不是遵守美國法律的做法。有人強調，2017 年推出的幣安並未實施防止洗錢的控制措施和程序。該交易所吸引大量客戶（包括美國客戶）的政策引起了人們的注意。讓我們來看看比特幣和山寨幣的聲明和價格變化。

Nicole M. Argentieri, Deputy Chief Prosecutor at the Department of Justice, stated in her statement that CZ focused on making Binance the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by targeting US customers and that CZ refused to comply with US laws. Argentieri emphasized that CZ threatened the US financial system and national security by intentionally violating anti-money laundering and sanction laws, and stated that CZ accepted the charges. She also stated clearly, “When you prioritize your profits over compliance with the law, you will be held accountable for the crimes you commit in the US.”

美國司法部副首席檢察官 Nicole M. Argentieri 在聲明中表示，CZ 專注於透過針對美國客戶將幣安打造成全球最大的加密貨幣交易所，而 CZ 拒絕遵守美國法律。 Argentieri強調，CZ故意違反反洗錢和製裁法，威脅美國金融體系和國家安全，並表示CZ接受指控。她還明確表示，“當你將利潤置於遵守法律之上時，你將為你在美國犯下的罪行承擔責任。”

Statements from Behnam and Jim Lee

貝納姆和吉姆李的聲明

Rostin Behnam, Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stated in his statement that Binance’s activities harm the foundation of sound financial structures. Behnam emphasized that $1.35 billion was collected from US customers and that US customers are interested in cryptocurrency assets, therefore their duty is to protect customers and quickly address illegal behavior. He highlighted that CFTC will take a tough stance when organizations hinder access controls and hide customer identities.

商品期貨交易委員會（CFTC）主席 Rostin Behnam 在聲明中表示，幣安的活動損害了健全金融結構的基礎。 Behnam強調，從美國客戶那裡收取了13.5億美元，美國客戶對加密貨幣資產感興趣，因此他們的職責是保護客戶並迅速解決非法行為。他強調，當組織阻礙存取控制和隱藏客戶身分時，CFTC 將採取強硬立場。

Lastly, Jim Lee, Chief of the IRS-CI Criminal Investigation, stated in his statement that hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal income were obtained through Binance and that criminals transferred their money through Binance to hide and evade law enforcement. Lee also stated that platforms become a playground for bad actors when compliance-focused policies are not adopted.

最後，IRS-CI刑事調查組長吉姆李在聲明中表示，透過幣安獲得了數億美元的非法收入，犯罪分子透過幣安轉移資金來隱藏和逃避執法。李也表示，如果不採取以合規為重點的政策，平台就會成為不良行為者的遊樂場。
