阿根廷法院凍結與龐氏騙局相關的 350 萬美元 USDT；加密貨幣公司協助調查

Argentine judicial authorities have ordered Tether, the company that issues the USDT stablecoin, to freeze around $3.5 million in digital assets linked to the Rainbowex platform, which is being probed for allegedly operating a massive Ponzi scheme. Investigators are focusing their efforts in the town of San Pedro, in Buenos Aires, where thousands are said to have been scammed, according to local press reports.

阿根廷司法當局已下令發行 USDT 穩定幣的公司 Tether 凍結與 Rainbowex 平台相關的約 350 萬美元的數位資產，該平台因涉嫌運營大規模龐氏騙局而受到調查。根據當地媒體報道，調查人員將工作重點集中在布宜諾斯艾利斯的聖佩德羅鎮，據說有數千人被騙。

The freezing order from an Argentine court is aimed at dismantling Rainbowex’s financial network. The court also ordered the seizure of digital assets, cryptocurrency wallets, and bank accounts of those involved in the scheme to stop further financial dealings around the alleged fraud.

阿根廷法院的凍結令旨在瓦解 Rainbowex 的金融網絡。法院還下令扣押參與該計劃的人員的數位資產、加密貨幣錢包和銀行帳戶，以阻止圍繞涉嫌詐欺的進一步金融交易。

Tether has previously been involved in similar legal actions. The company has a mechanism that allows them to blacklist a particular wallet address upon a court order. With this, Tether will be able to stop any purchase from any wallet found on their blacklist. Once their system blacklists a wallet, any transactions in and out of USDT will be blocked.

Tether 先前也曾參與類似的法律訴訟。該公司有一種機制，允許他們根據法院命令將特定錢包地址列入黑名單。這樣，Tether 將能夠阻止從其黑名單上發現的任何錢包進行的任何購買行為。一旦他們的系統將錢包列入黑名單，任何進出 USDT 的交易都將被阻止。

This centralized control, despite being built on the decentralized blockchain, is capable of freezing assets in USDT, a stablecoin that is fundamentally at odds with such a measure, Mansilla said. “The smart contract verifies if a wallet is blacklisted before performing the transaction,” Firtman explained, and if so, “the transaction does not get processed.”

Mansilla 表示，儘管這種集中控制是建立在去中心化區塊鏈之上，但它能夠凍結 USDT 中的資產，而 USDT 是一種從根本上與這種措施相矛盾的穩定幣。菲爾特曼解釋說：“智能合約在執行交易之前會驗證錢包是否被列入黑名單，如果是，則“交易不會得到處理。

As in any process, this raises interesting questions about how centralized control in cryptocurrencies works in general, especially for a crypto like USDT that is backed by a stablecoin. It also opens up a scenario where funds can be locked possibly indefinitely.

與任何過程一樣，這引發了關於加密貨幣的集中控制一般如何運作的有趣問題，特別是對於像 USDT 這樣由穩定幣支持的加密貨幣。它還開啟了一種可能無限期鎖定資金的情況。

Several cryptocurrency tracking firms, including Lemon Exchange, Chinalisys, and Qlue, are providing technical assistance to the investigation. Their support is key for Argentine authorities to track and analyze the data needed for the case to progress.
