AMF 獲得針對 Vincent Allard 和 Pyrole Capital Inc. 的凍結令和禁令針對 BALD 代幣的市場詐欺和價格操縱

蒙特利爾，2024年7月31日 /CNW/ - 2024年4月29日，金融市場行政法庭（「法庭」）對 Vincent Allard 和 Pyrole Capital Inc. 發出凍結令和禁令。 （「被告」）在他們缺席的情況下舉行了聽證會。

MONTRÉAL, July 31, 2024 /CNW/ - On April 29, 2024, the Financial Markets Administrative Tribunal (the "Tribunal") issued freeze orders and bans against Vincent Allard and Pyrole Capital inc. (the "Respondents") further to a hearing held in their absence.

蒙特利爾，2024年7月31日 /CNW/ - 2024年4月29日，金融市場行政法庭（「法庭」）對 Vincent Allard 和 Pyrole Capital Inc. 發出凍結令和禁令。 （「被告」）在他們缺席的情況下舉行了聽證會。

According to an ongoing AMF investigation, the Respondents committed market fraud or manipulated the price of the BALD token, a cryptoasset created by Vincent Allard.

根據 AMF 正在進行的調查，被告犯有市場詐欺行為或操縱了 Vincent Allard 創建的加密資產 BALD 代幣的價格。

The Tribunal found that there was evidence that BALD was deployed on a decentralized exchange for the purpose of manipulating the token's value and reaping large profits and that the Respondents had made the equivalent of more than CAD $7 million from these illegal activities over a two-day period. In so doing, they carried on business as a securities dealer and adviser without being registered with the AMF and distributed investment contracts to the public without preparing a prospectus subject to a receipt issued by the AMF or benefitting from an exemption from this requirement.

法庭發現，有證據表明 BALD 被部署在去中心化交易所上，其目的是操縱代幣價值並獲取巨額利潤，並且被告在兩天內從這些非法活動中獲利超過 700 萬加元時期。在此過程中，他們在未向AMF 註冊的情況下以證券交易商和顧問的身份開展業務，並向公眾分發投資合同，但未準備需要AMF 出具收據的招股說明書，也未享受此項要求的豁免。

The Tribunal found that the AMF had presented compelling evidence that the Respondents had committed the alleged apparent breaches and said that, in its opinion, without the AMF's intervention, the amounts harvested from investors would likely be dissipated by the Respondents.

仲裁庭認為，AMF 提供了令人信服的證據，證明被告實施了所謂的明顯​​違規行為，並表示，在其看來，如果沒有AMF 的干預，從投資者那裡獲得的款項可能會被被告揮霍掉。

Consequently, the Tribunal prohibited the Respondents from engaging in any activity for the purpose of directly or indirectly trading in any security, including BALD or any other token in the nature of a form of an investment. It also prohibited the Respondent from acting as dealers or investment fund managers.

因此，仲裁庭禁止被告從事任何以直接或間接交易任何證券為目的的活動，包括 BALD 或任何其他具有投資形式的代幣。它還禁止被訴人擔任交易商或投資基金經理人。

Lastly, the Tribunal issued various freeze orders on the Respondents' bank and cryptoasset accounts.

最後，法院對被告的銀行和加密資產帳戶發出了各種凍結令。

Notices of contestation were filed by the Respondents, but to date no hearing has been set.

被告已提交異議通知，但迄今尚未安排聽證會。
