Washington, D.C. — The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced it has filed a civil enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois charging Changpeng Zhao and three entities that operate the Binance platform with numerous violations of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC regulations. The complaint also charges Samuel Lim, Binance’s former chief compliance officer, with aiding and abetting Binance’s violations.（华盛顿特区——商品期货交易委员会今天宣布，它已向美国伊利诺伊州北区地方法院提起民事诉讼，指控赵长鹏和运营 Binance 平台的三个实体多次违反《商品交易法》(CEA) ) 和 CFTC 规定。该投诉还指控币安前首席合规官Samuel Lim协助和教唆币安违规。）
The complaint charges that Binance Holdings Limited, Binance Holdings (IE) Limited, and Binance (Services) Holdings Limited (together, Binance) operate the Binance centralized digital asset trading platform along with numerous other corporate vehicles through an intentionally opaque common enterprise, with Zhao at the helm as Binance’s owner and chief executive officer. The defendants allegedly chose to knowingly disregard applicable provisions of the CEA while engaging in a calculated strategy of regulatory arbitrage to their commercial benefit. （起诉指控Binance Holdings Limited、Binance Holdings (IE) Limited和Binance (Services) Holdings Limited（统称为 Binance）通过故意不透明的共同企业运营 Binance 中心化数字资产交易平台以及许多其他公司工具，由 Zhao作为 Binance 的所有者和首席执行官掌舵。据称，被告选择故意无视 CEA 的适用规定，同时参与有计划的监管套利策略以谋取商业利益。 ）
In its continuing litigation against the defendants, the agency seeks disgorgement, civil monetary penalties, permanent trading and registration bans, and a permanent injunction against further violations of the CEA and CFTC regulations, as charged.（在对被告的持续诉讼中，该机构寻求没收非法所得、民事罚款、永久交易和注册禁令，以及针对进一步违反 CEA 和 CFTC 规定的指控的永久禁令。）
“Today’s enforcement action demonstrates that there is no location, or claimed lack of location, that will prevent the CFTC from protecting American investors. I have been clear that the CFTC will continue to use all of its authority to find and stop misconduct in the volatile and risky digital asset market,” said CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam. “For years, Binance knew they were violating CFTC rules, working actively to both keep the money flowing and avoid compliance. This should be a warning to anyone in the digital asset world that the CFTC will not tolerate willful avoidance of U.S. law. I applaud the diligent and dedicated work of the CFTC’s Enforcement team in bringing this action, and for their hard work in addressing illegal operations in the digital asset space.”
“Defendants’ alleged willful evasion of U.S. law is at the core of the Commission’s complaint against Binance. The defendants’ own emails and chats reflect that Binance’s compliance efforts have been a sham and Binance deliberately chose – over and over – to place profits over following the law,” said Gretchen Lowe, CFTC’s Enforcement Division Principal Deputy Director and Chief Counsel. “Today’s enforcement action reflects that the CFTC and its Enforcement Division will pursue those digital asset platforms and individuals who flout and actively attempt to circumvent CFTC regulatory requirements. I thank the Enforcement team for their dedication and hard work in bringing this action.”（“被告涉嫌故意逃避美国法律是委员会对币安投诉的核心。被告自己的电子邮件和聊天记录表明，币安的合规努力是虚假的，币安一次又一次地故意选择将利润置于遵守法律之上，”CFTC 执法部门首席副主任兼首席法律顾问 Gretchen Lowe 表示。“今天的执法行动反映出 CFTC 及其执法部门将追查那些蔑视并积极试图规避 CFTC 监管要求的数字资产平台和个人。我感谢执法团队为采取这一行动所付出的奉献和辛勤工作。”）
