Block公司已预留更多资金，以了结司法部针对其反洗钱计划展开的多年调查。
Inc. set aside more money to resolve a years long probe by the Department of Justice into its anti-money laundering program.
根据周二提交的一份监管文件，10月，该公司与司法部达成原则性协议，监管机构将“推迟三年，对该公司未能维持有效反洗钱计划、违反《银行保密法》的指控提出起诉”。
In October, the company and the Justice Department reached an agreement in principle where the regulator will “defer, for a period of three years, a charge that the company failed to maintain an effective anti-money laundering program in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act,” according to a regulatory filing Tuesday.
根据该文件，这项需经法院批准的延期起诉协议，预计包含约9.64亿美元的罚没总额和约7.64亿美元的净支付额。公司已在6月底预留了5.26亿美元，并在9月底将该数额增加至7.64亿美元。
The deferred-prosecution agreement, which requires court approval, is expected to have a gross monetary component of about $964 million and a net payment of about $764 million, according to the filing. The company had already set aside $526 million at the end of June, and bumped that up to $764 million at the end of September.
近几周，美国监管机构通过一系列罚款，加大了对反洗钱失职行为的打击力度。10月，联邦监管机构因反洗钱和制裁违规，对美国银行处以12.1亿美元罚款，这是该行过去十年来面临的最大监管罚单。
US watchdogs have been cracking down on anti-money laundering lapses through a slate of fines in recent weeks. In October, federal regulators slapped Bank of America Corp. with $1.21 billion in penalties for anti-money laundering and sanction violations, the bank’s biggest regulatory fine in the past decade.
监管机构此前还因美国运通未能在其系统中识别和报告洗钱活动，对其处以3.5亿美元罚款。
Regulators also previously fined American Express Co. $350 million for failing to catch and report money laundering in its system.
