DAVID YAFFE-BELLANY, 傅才德2026年9月16日去年，币安的多名合规官员在内部标记了流经币该交易所的非法资金。 Gabby Jones/BloombergTwo Chinese companies used accounts on the cryptocurrency exchange Binance to launder illegal proceeds from the sale of Iranian oil, the Justice Department said in court papers.美国司法部在法庭文件中说，两家中国公司利用加密货币交易所币安上的账户洗钱，这些资金来自出售伊朗石油的非法收益。In a civil forfeiture claim filed in federal court in Manhattan on Monday, prosecutors said that the two companies had moved funds intended to finance the Iranian military, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which the United States has classified as a terrorist organization. Binance was not charged with any wrongdoing.在周一提交给曼哈顿联邦法院的一项民事没收申请中，检察官说，这两家公司转移了旨在资助伊朗军方的资金，包括美国列为恐怖组织的伊斯兰革命卫队。币安未被指控有任何不当行为。A group of crypto wallets linked to Iran received more than $1.5 billion of the illegal proceeds, the complaint said, though it wasn’t clear exactly how much of that money had moved through Binance, the world’s largest crypto trading platform. The Justice Department plans to seize $61 million, currently held in a set of accounts overseen by Tether, another crypto firm, the complaint said.起诉书说，一组与伊朗有关的加密币钱包收到了超过15亿美元的非法收益，但尚不清楚其中有多少资金流经了币安这个全球最大加密货币交易平台。起诉书说，司法部计划没收目前由另一家加密币公司Tether掌管的一组账户中的6100万美元。The flow of illicit funds through Binance was flagged internally last year by a group of the exchange’s compliance officials, according to reports in The New York Times and other outlets. Binance fired or suspended the officials after they pointed out the Iran transactions; the company said the discipline had nothing to do with their warnings.据《纽约时报》和其他媒体报道，流经币安的非法资金去年被该交易所的多名合规官员在内部标记。币安在这些官员指出伊朗交易后将他们解雇或停职；该公司说，这些处罚与他们提出的警告无关。The reports in The Times raised concerns in Congress, where a top Senate Democrat opened an investigation into Binance. For years, the company has struggled to eliminate financial crime on its platform. It paid $4.3 billion in penalties in 2023 after pleading guilty to violating U.S. financial laws.《纽约时报》的报道在国会引发担忧，一位参议院民主党高层启动了对币安的调查。多年来，该公司一直在努力消除其平台上的金融犯罪。它在2023年承认违反美国金融法后支付了43亿美元罚款。A Binance spokeswoman said in a statement that the exchange had “zero tolerance for sanctions violations or illicit activity.”币安一位发言人在声明中说，该交易所对“违反制裁或非法活动零容忍”。“This case was not filed against Binance and does not allege wrongdoing by Binance,” she said. “Binance did not permit any transactions with sanctioned individuals.”“本案不是针对币安提起的，也没有指控币安有不当行为，”她说。“币安没有允许与受制裁个人的任何交易。”Binance has tried to stop illegal activity on its platform since the 2023 settlement, pledging to work with law enforcement around the world to root out financial crime. Its founder, Changpeng Zhao, stepped down as chief executive and served four months in prison.自2023年和解以来，币安一直试图阻止其平台上的非法活动，承诺与世界各地执法部门合作，根除金融犯罪。其创始人赵长鹏辞去首席执行官职务，并服刑四个月。Last year, Binance forged a business relationship with World Liberty Financial, the crypto start-up founded by President Trump and his three sons. Mr. Trump granted Mr. Zhao a pardon in October.去年，币安与World Liberty Financial建立了商业关系，这家加密货币初创公司由特朗普总统及其三个儿子创立。特朗普在10月赦免了赵长鹏。Around that time, the compliance officials at Binance raised internal alarms over the movement of funds to Iran, identifying the same two companies named in the complaint. One, Hexa Whale, a firm based in Hong Kong, used Binance to send $490 million to crypto wallets tied to Iranian entities, the employees reported. They found that another $1.2 billion had flowed to Iran-linked entities from an account owned by the financial firm Blessed Trust, a Binance business partner in Hong Kong.大约在那时，币安的合规官员就流向伊朗的资金发出内部警报，确认了起诉书中提到的两家公司。其中一家是总部位于香港的Hexa Whale，员工报告说，它利用币安向与伊朗实体有关的加密币钱包发送了4.9亿美元。他们发现，另外还有12亿美元从金融公司Blessed Trust拥有的一个账户流向了与伊朗有关的实体，该公司是币安在香港的业务伙伴。The Binance investigators also learned that an account belonging to Blessed Trust’s chief executive and one controlled by a group of Binance employees had both been accessed from the same electronic device. In the exchange’s internal systems, accounts belonging to Blessed Trust and its chief executive were marked with a note: “Don’t block. Internal accounts,” The Times reported in March.币安调查人员还了解到，属于Blessed Trust首席执行官的账户和一个由一群币安员工控制的账户，都曾从同一台电子设备访问。《纽约时报》在3月报道，在交易所的内部系统中，属于Blessed Trust及其首席执行官的账户被标记了一条注释：“不要封锁。内部账户。”Binance has disputed many of the employees’ findings. The company said this year that Blessed Trust was “one of several vendors for Binance” and that the exchange did not control it. Blessed Trust did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Hexa Whale has ceased operations.币安否认了这些员工的许多发现。该公司今年说，Blessed Trust是“币安的几个供应商之一”，交易所并不控制它。Blessed Trust没有立即回应置评请求。Hexa Whale已停止运营。In the court filing on Monday, the Justice Department said that Blessed Trust and Hexa Whale had used Binance to launder the proceeds from black market sales of Iranian oil to buyers in China. The money was funneled to the Iranian government, the complaint said, and used to finance “terrorist activities,” a violation of U.S. sanctions.在周一的法庭文件中，司法部说，Blessed Trust和Hexa Whale利用币安清洗在黑市向中国买家出售伊朗石油的收益。起诉书说，这些钱被输送给伊朗政府，并用于资助“恐怖活动”，违反了美国制裁。Blessed Trust misrepresented to crypto and financial firms that it provided “wealth management” and other seemingly legitimate services, the complaint said.起诉书说，Blessed Trust向加密货币和金融公司提供虚假陈述，称其提供“财富管理”和其他看似合法的服务。“Today’s action demonstrates our determination to deprive the Government of Iran and its terrorist proxies of the illegal money they rely on,” Deputy U.S. Attorney Sean S. Buckley said in a statement. “The Government of Iran relies on black-market sales of sanctioned crude oil to fund its military and foster terrorism in the Middle East and around the world.”“今天的行动表明我们决心剥夺伊朗政府及其恐怖代理人所依赖的非法资金，”联邦副检察官肖恩·S·巴克利在声明中说。“伊朗政府依赖受制裁原油的黑市销售来资助其军队，并在中东和世界各地扶植恐怖主义。”David Yaffe-Bellany自纽约为时报报道加密货币行业新闻。可以通过davidyb@nytimes.com与他联系。傅才德(Michael Forsythe)是时报调查记者，常驻纽约。他此前曾驻中国，广泛报道该国各类议题。翻译：纽约时报中文网点击查看本文英文版。获取更多RSS：https://feedx.net https://feedx.site
