英國男子因未能在法律糾紛中披露比特幣持有罪而被判入獄

50歲的格雷厄姆·達比（Graham Darby）因temp視法庭而被判處18個月徒刑，但在服役146天后被釋放，道歉。

A British man was jailed for nearly five months after failing to disclose his Bitcoin holdings during a legal dispute with another cryptocurrency trader.

一名英國男子在與另一個加密貨幣交易者的法律糾紛中未能透露其比特幣持有股份後被判入獄近五個月。

Graham Darby, 50, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for contempt of court but was released after serving 146 days and apologizing, according to Wales Online.

威爾士在線說，現年50歲的格雷厄姆·達比（Graham Darby）因temp視法庭而被判處18個月監禁，但在服役146天后被釋放。

The case stemmed from a failed cryptocurrency transaction between Darby and Zi Wang, a 22-year-old Australian trader. The two had agreed to swap 30 Bitcoin (BTC) for 400,000 Tezos (XTZ), with plans to reverse the trade after two years.

該案源於22歲的澳大利亞商人達比（Darby）和王·王（Zi Wang）之間的加密貨幣交易失敗。兩人同意將30比特幣（BTC）換成400,000 Tezos（XTZ），併計劃在兩年後撤銷交易。

However, Wang claimed Darby failed to return the Tezos as agreed, resulting in losses of between £900,000 ($1.14 million) and £1.3 million.

但是，王聲稱達比未能按照約定的返回Tezos，導致損失在90萬英鎊（114萬美元）和130萬英鎊之間。

Wang alleged that after Tezos’s value increased, Darby blocked him on Telegram and refused to uphold the agreement. Darby denied wrongdoing, saying Wang had simply “done less well out of the transaction.”

王聲稱，在Tezos的價值提高之後，Darby在電報上阻止了他，並拒絕維護該協議。達比（Darby）否認了不法行為，說王只是“從交易中做得不好”。

When the case reached the High Court, Darby failed to disclose that he still controlled 100 Bitcoin—worth around £8 million.

當此案到達高等法院時，達比未能透露他仍然控制了100個比特幣，約為800萬英鎊。

Cybercrime investigator Richard Sanders provided expert testimony, uncovering Darby’s extensive network of digital wallets. Darby denied ownership, claiming he had forgotten his wallet passwords. However, Sanders’ findings convinced the court otherwise.

網絡犯罪調查員理查德·桑德斯（Richard Sanders）提供了專家證詞，並揭示了達比（Darby）廣泛的數字錢包網絡。達比否認所有權，聲稱他忘記了錢包密碼。但是，桑德斯的調查結果使法院說服了其他情況。

Darby missed a key hearing, leading Judge Keyser KC to rule against him. He later attended another hearing, stating he had struggled to secure legal representation. The judge found that Darby had “put his head in the sand” and sentenced him to 18 months, with the possibility of early release if he apologized.

達比（Darby）錯過了一場關鍵聽證會，領導凱瑟·KC法官（Keyser KC）裁定反對他。後來他參加了另一次聽證會，並說他一直在努力確保法律代表。法官發現達比（Darby）“把頭放在沙灘上”，並判處他判處18個月，如果他道歉的話，可能會提早釋放。

While in prison, Darby reportedly suffered a breakdown. His daughter helped him secure legal aid, and he ultimately admitted contempt, apologized, and settled with Wang.

據報導，在監獄中，達比遭受了崩潰。他的女兒幫助他獲得了法律援助，他最終承認鄙視，道歉並與王定居。

Lord Justice James Dingemans, who reviewed the appeal, acknowledged Darby’s mental health struggles and legal difficulties. He ruled that Darby had complied with court orders and reduced his sentence to time served.

審查上訴的詹姆斯·丁格曼勳爵（James Dingemans）承認達比的心理健康鬥爭和法律困難。他裁定達比（Darby）遵守法院命令，並將其判決減少到了時間。

Following his release, Darby compared his experience to the UK’s Post Office scandal, saying, “The system is broken.” His case highlights the legal complexities surrounding cryptocurrency disputes and the importance of full financial disclosure in court.

發行後，達比（Darby）將自己的經歷與英國郵局醜聞進行了比較，他說：“系統破裂了。”他的案件強調了有關加密貨幣糾紛的法律複雜性以及在法庭上全面披露的重要性。
