Sergio Ermotti is returning to UBS as chief executive to guide the Swiss bank’s emergency takeover of Credit Suisse.

Mr Ermotti ran UBS from 2011 to 2020.

He is replacing Ralph Hamers, “who has agreed to step down to serve the interests of the new combination”, according to UBS.

Merging the two banks is immensely complicated, it said, which calls for Mr Ermotti’s “unique experience”.

There was another casualty from the fallout surrounding the collapse of Credit Suisse.

His comments in March about not investing more in Credit Suisse were followed by a market rout.

今年3月,他表示不会进一步投资瑞信,随后出现了市场崩盘。

Deutsche Bank clawed back most of the losses from a sell-off caused by the soaring price of its credit-default swaps, which act as an insurance against a default on its debts.

Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, faced its most serious legal challenge yet when a regulator in America accused it of operating illegally.

美国监管机构指控币安非法运营,这家世界最大加密货币交易所面临迄今为止最严重的法律挑战。

In a civil lawsuit the Commodity Futures Trading Commission alleged that much of Binance’s trade and profit comes from America, but it had never registered with the CFTC and “disregarded” financial laws.

在一场民事诉讼中,美国商品期货交易协会指控币安的大部分贸易和利润来自美国,但却从未在该协会注册,而且“无视”金融法律。

Changpeng Zhao, Binance’s boss, said the complaint was “unexpected and disappointing”.

币安的老板赵长鹏表示,这一投诉“出乎意料,令人失望”。

American prosecutors added another charge against Sam Bankman-Fried, who ran FTX until the crypto exchange’s spectacular collapse last November.

美国检方对萨姆·班克曼-弗里德又提起了一项指控,在去年11月加密货币交易所FTX大规模倒闭之前,他还一直运营着这家交易所。

Prosecutors now contend that Mr Bankman-Fried paid $40m in bribes to Chinese officials in 2021 to allow him access to accounts linked to a sister company.
