2800 万用户的另一本账:美众院委员会称 Webull 中国员工可接触美国客户账户

据 CNBC 独家报道,美国众议院"中国问题特别委员会"的一份新分析显示,Webull 内部 2021 年的Microsoft Teams 消息表明,一名疑似当时位于中国的员工参与审批了美国客户的账户,与该公司"美国客户数据仅由美国人员控制"的公开说法相矛盾。
这组消息的双方是 Webull 美国经纪业务经理布伦丹·富勒(Brendan Fuller)与员工郑翰·王(Zhenghan Wang,"Rock")。在讨论一个美国客户的交易账户时,富勒写道,账户"经一名中国团队成员和一名美国团队"批准;王回复:"Yes, CIP"(CIP 即客户身份识别程序)。
委员会的分析认定,王当时很可能在中国——消息的时间戳显示其按北京时间的白天时间工作,且其软件设置为把消息翻译成简体中文。委员会发言人对 CNBC 表示:"所有短信证据都指向郑翰·王当时在中国,且在为公司工作期间能接触美国客户数据。"
背景是 10 月 7 日该委员会发布的跨党派报告:报告称拥有 2800 万用户的 Webull 与中国政府存在结构性关联,对美国金融构成国家安全威胁;报告发布后,Webull 股价下跌逾 19%。委员会 10 月 20 日发表声明,指 Webull 在报告发布后作出了"多项虚假陈述"。
Webull 发言人回应称,美国客户数据只存储在弗吉尼亚和俄勒冈的 AWS 服务器上,敏感数据的访问限于美国员工;美国经纪业务"只由美国人员指挥",美国境外人员"从未对美国经纪业务行使运营或决策权"。公司未直接回应关于王 2021 年是否接触美国客户数据的问题。根据 Webull 2025 年报,其湖南子公司湖南韦布有 863 名员工,占公司全球员工约 62%。

House China Committee Says Webull Messages Show China-Based Employee Could Access U.S. Client Accounts
A new analysis by the U.S. House Select Committee on China, exclusively obtained by CNBC, shows that internal 2021 Microsoft Teams messages at Webull indicate an employee believed to be in China participated in approving a U.S. customer's account — contradicting the company's public claim that U.S. customer data is controlled only by U.S. personnel.
The messages were exchanged between Brendan Fuller, a manager at Webull's U.S. brokerage, and Webull employee Zhenghan Wang, nicknamed "Rock." Discussing a U.S. client's trading account, Fuller wrote that the account had been approved by "one China team member and one U.S. team." Wang replied: "Yes, CIP," referring to the customer identification program.
The committee's analysis concluded Wang was most likely in China at the time — the messages' timestamps indicated he was working daytime hours in Beijing, and he had set his software to translate messages into simplified Chinese. "All the evidence in these text messages points to Zhenghan Wang, a Webull employee, being located in China with access to U.S. customer data at the time he worked for the company," a committee spokesperson told CNBC.
The analysis follows the committee's bipartisan October 7 report, which said Webull, with 28 million users, has structural ties to the Chinese government and poses a national security threat to U.S. finance. Webull's stock dropped more than 19% after the report. On October 20, the committee accused Webull of making "numerous false statements" since the report's release.
A Webull spokesperson said U.S. customer data is stored only on AWS servers in Virginia and Oregon, with access to sensitive data restricted to U.S.-based employees, and that "U.S. broker-dealer operations are directed exclusively by U.S.-based personnel." The spokesperson did not directly address whether Wang accessed U.S. customer data in 2021. According to Webull's 2025 annual report, its Hunan subsidiary employed 863 people, about 62 percent of its global workforce.
