BitMEX宣布将于 9 月 23 日停止运营后,随即在美国遭遇一宗拟议集体诉讼。原告称,该平台在用户仓位被强制平仓后扣留抵押品,并要求返还合计 622.66 枚比特币,按文中口径约合 4070 万美元。

原告称损失合计622.66枚比特币

这起诉讼由 BKX Services 和 David Namdar 提交至美国纽约南区联邦地区法院。起诉材料显示,BKX Services 称因强平损失至少 305.81 枚比特币,Namdar 称损失超过 316.85 枚比特币,两者合计 622.66 枚比特币。

原告希望代表自 2018 年 7 月 23 日以来购买 BitMEX 比特币掉期产品的美国用户提起集体诉讼,并寻求返还比特币、补偿性赔偿和惩罚性赔偿。不过,这一案件仍需法官先行裁定,才能按集体诉讼推进。

诉状指向强平机制和内部交易台

诉状称,BitMEX及其联合创始人 Arthur Hayes、Ben Delo 和 Samuel Reed 设计了一套机制,在用户被强平后保留客户抵押品,并将剩余比特币转入平台保险基金。

原告还称,BitMEX 曾允许交易者以最高 100 倍杠杆开仓,而在部分仓位被平仓时,相关抵押品价值仍大致相当于亏损额的两倍,但平台并未返还余额。

此外,诉状还指控 BitMEX 内部交易台在服务器冻结期间可以继续交易,并可接触用户私密交易信息,而其他用户当时无法平仓。被告名单除 BitMEX 母公司 HDR Global Trading 外,还包括多家关联实体及三名联合创始人。

停运时间与诉讼同步出现

这起案件提交时间为 7 月 23 日,与 BitMEX 宣布停运的时间重合。BitMEX 表示,平台将在 9 月 23 日结束运营,至此结束其 11 年的加密衍生品交易所历史。

报道提到,类似指控曾出现在 2020 年的一宗集体诉讼中,但该案已于 2025 年 6 月结案,法院当时并未就强平争议作出裁定。

BitMEX此次停运前已出现管理层调整。其母公司 HDR 在完成战略评估后决定关闭业务。上个月,BitMEX 首席执行官、首席财务官和增长负责人相继离任,原总法律顾问 Peter Wilkinson 接任首席执行官。
