一位联邦法官希望币安创始人赵长鹏在等待判决时能够留在美国，至少目前是这样。
赵长鹏和他创办的交易所上周承认违反了美国反洗钱法。美国司法部在11月21日的新闻发布会上详细说明了对币安的43亿美元罚款和没收款项。总检察长梅里克·加兰德当时声称，该公司的合规团队在该交易所被用于洗钱和非法金融活动方面心知肚明。
赵长鹏以1.75亿美元的保释金获释，定于2月接受判决。他是阿拉伯联合酋长国和加拿大的公民。根据11月23日的法庭文件显示，地方法官布莱恩·土岐田提议允许赵长鹏返回阿联酋与他的伴侣和三个孩子团聚，认为他没有“逃跑的风险”。但是美国地方法官理查德·琼斯在一份周一的披露文件中暂停了赵长鹏返回阿联酋的计划，“直到本法院解决政府的复审申请为止。”
作为认罪的一部分，币安创始人同意辞去公司首席执行官职务，任命理查德·腾为他的继任者。腾曾是币安的区域市场负责人，并曾在阿布扎比全球市场和新加坡金融管理局担任监管职务。
腾在周一的博客文章中表示，币安今天比以往任何时候都更为强大。他重申了此前在X上发表的评论，即公司保持“强劲的收入和利润”，并且用户资产得到一对一的支持。
作为一个行业，我们比以往任何时候都更需要与政策制定者合作，只有这样，我们才能有效地为全球统一的监管框架的发展做出贡献，该框架将促进创新，同时提供关键的消费者保护。
