KuCoin faces scrutiny over alleged legal threat in stolen funds case

在区块链调查员 ZachXBT 声称该交易所向一名受害者发送了法律警告后,KuCoin 面临着新的审查,据称该受害者被盗资金是通过与 KuCoin 相关的账户转移的。 

摘要
  • A crypto investigator claims KuCoin sent legal warnings after stolen funds were allegedly routed through accounts.
  • The case centers on a reported $250K Atomic stealer theft and five alleged KuCoin deposit addresses.
  • The dispute adds pressure as KuCoin remains under scrutiny over past AML and compliance failures.

根据 ZachXBT 的 Telegram 帖子,该案件涉及 2025 年 8 月 18 日发生的价值 25 万美元的 Atomic 盗窃案。

ZachXBT listed one theft address and five alleged KuCoin deposit addresses. He claimed the accounts involved “purchased mule KYC,” a term used for accounts verified with another person’s identity. The claims have not been confirmed by court filings or an official KuCoin statement.

The screenshot shared with the post appears to show a message signed by KuCoin Customer Care and Support Team. It says KuCoin respects the right to raise concerns through legal and regulatory channels, but warns that false or unlawful statements may lead to legal claims.

The message also says, “All rights are expressly reserved.” DNBWIZARD 在 X 上分享了这次交流并表示,“热闹的@kucoincom 威胁要起诉我”后,该帖子引起了进一步的关注。

KuCoin allegations echo earlier compliance concerns

The dispute comes after years of pressure on KuCoin’s compliance record. 2025 年 1 月,美国司法部表示 KuCoin 承认经营无牌汇款业务,并同意支付超过 2.97 亿美元的罚款。 The DOJ said KuCoin failed to maintain effective AML and KYC programs and allowed suspicious activity on its platform.

司法部于 2024 年 3 月对 KuCoin 和两名创始人提出指控,指控该交易所未能维持适当的反洗钱控制。检察官表示 KuCoin 在 2017 年至 2024 年间收到了超过 50 亿美元,并转移了超过 40 亿美元的可疑和犯罪资金。

Related stolen funds cases remain in focus

As reported by crypto.news, a fake Ledger Live app stole at least $9.5 million from more than 50 victims earlier this year. That report said the stolen funds were routed through more than 150 KuCoin deposit addresses and into a centralized mixing service.

The same report said blockchain investigator ZachXBT traced stolen funds through transactions into KuCoin deposit addresses linked to AudiA6. It also noted that recovery would likely require law enforcement action and cooperation from exchanges.

As previously reported by crypto.news, KuCoin secured a MiCA license in Austria through its European subsidiary in late 2025. The approval allowed the exchange to offer regulated services across the European Economic Area under the EU’s passporting rules.

However, Austria’s regulator later barred KuCoin’s European arm from new business and onboarding customers, citing compliance staffing issues. The restriction followed KuCoin’s earlier push to present itself as a regulated European platform.
