阿拉巴馬州男子埃里克委員會（Eric Council Jr.）在SEC X帳戶黑客案中認罪

小埃里克委員會（Eric Council Jr.

An Alabama man charged with hacking into the X account of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to falsely post that the agency had approved bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is set to plead guilty in the case, according to court documents.

法院文件顯示，一名阿拉巴馬州被指控入侵美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的X帳戶，以虛假髮布該機構已批准比特幣交易所交易資金（ETFS）在此案中認罪。

A “Consent Order of Forfeiture,” filed on Friday in D.C. federal court, shows Eric Council Jr. has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit aggravated identity theft and access device fraud. He will also forfeit $50,000 in proceeds from these offenses.

週五在哥倫比亞特區聯邦法院提交的“沒收命令”顯示，小埃里克委員會已同意認罪，以串謀犯有嚴重的身份盜竊和訪問設備欺詐。他還將從這些罪行中沒收50,000美元的收益。

Prosecutors said Council used a fake ID to trick a phone store employee into helping him and co-conspirators access a device with access to the SEC’s X account. Prosecutors added that Council’s sentencing is set for May 16 before Judge Amy Berman Jackson.

檢察官說，理事會使用假ID來欺騙電話商店員工幫助他和同謀訪問具有SEC X帳戶的設備。檢察官補充說，理事會的量刑定於5月16日，面臨艾米·伯曼·傑克遜法官。

The case stems from the then highly anticipated SEC approval of spot bitcoin ETFs, with the security breach leading to a post shared on the agency’s account one day before the actual approval. At the time, the approval of these funds was eagerly anticipated as these were widely expected to bring in significant flows from institutional investors. The false X post sent the price of bitcoin briefly surging.

該案件源於當時備受期待的SEC對現貨比特幣ETF的批准，安全違規導致在實際批准前一天在該機構帳戶上共享的職位。當時，這些資金的批准被預料到了，因為這些資金被普遍期望引入機構投資者的大量流量。 False X Post短暫地發送了比特幣的價格。

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Council in October for hijacking the SEC’s X account.

聯邦調查局（FBI）於10月因劫持了SEC X帳戶而逮捕了理事會。
