庫班:阿里巴巴或存內幕交易,本不應該在美國上市

Shares of Alibaba (BABA) should not have been allowed to be listed in the United States, billionaire investor and Alibaba shareholder MarkCubantold CNBC onTuesday.

作爲投資者及阿里巴巴的股票持有者，億萬富翁馬克·庫班週二接受全美廣播公司財經頻道的採訪時說，美國本不應讓阿里巴巴在美國國內上市。

"The largest IPO in the history of the stock market is a Chinese company and it's a communist country," Cuban said in an interview with "Closing Bell."

庫班在接受《收市鐘聲》節目採訪時說，“股市有史以來最大的IPO屬於共產主義國家中國的一家公司”。

Therefore, it's difficult to enforceinsider trading laws, he said.

他說，施行內幕交易法律會因此有難度。

"If someone calls up someone at Alibaba and says 'OK, I'm this bigwig and oh by the way you can tell me what's going on with Alibaba or let me tell you about the new gulag we just built insouthern China.' There's no choice. What are they going to say, 'No, I'm violating insider trading laws in the United States?' They're not going to."

“如果有人給阿里巴巴的工作人員打電話說，‘我是個大亨，哦，順便提一下，要麼你告訴我阿里巴巴的內幕，或者讓我給你個不幸的消息'。面對這種沒有選擇的情況，你會說什麼，‘不行，這樣我就違反了美國的內幕交易法'？他們是不會這麼做的”。

Cuban, who was acquitted of insider trading charges in 2013, has been calling for reform of the Securitiesand Exchange Commission, which prosecutes such cases.

庫班於2013年受內幕交易指控，但被無罪釋放。他呼籲要改革告發此類案例的證券交易委員會。

He also acknowledged being a hypocrite byowning Alibaba stock. The company went public on the NYSE earlier this year.

他承認了自己的虛僞，因爲他也持有阿里巴巴的股份。阿里巴巴於今年早些時候在紐交所上市。

"They shouldn't be allowed based on what I know today, but if they're in, it's just one more stock to trade or invest in depending on your perspective," Cuban said.

庫班說，“據我目前所知，阿里巴巴不應獲允許在美上市。不過已經上市了，那要不要投資就看個人了”。

That said, he believes the issue is more one of laws being applied equally, and not where the company is necessarily based.

即便如此，庫班認爲這與法律同等適用的問題關係更大，與公司的所在地沒有必然關係。

"There's not a problem with having acompany in a communist country come in but you just have to realize that our insider trading laws are going to be in effective and apply them the same way to United States companies."

“有一家共產主義國家的公司在美國上市是沒有問題的，但需要認識到的是內幕交易法將失去效力，無法起到對美國公司一樣的約束力”。
