拒絕透露金幣的地理位置的深海尋寶者的判決已由法官結束

湯米·湯普森（Tommy Thompson）自2015年以來一直被蔑視。他的案件源於他發現中美洲的黨衛軍中美洲時，被稱為“黃金之船”，當它沉沒時，它有數千磅的黃金。

A former deep-sea treasure hunter who has served nearly a decade in jail for refusing to disclose the whereabouts of missing gold coins has had that term ended by a federal judge in Ohio, but he will remain behind bars for now.

一位前深海尋寶者，因拒絕透露失踪金幣的下落而在監獄中服刑近十年，該任期以俄亥俄州的一名聯邦法官結束，但他現在將留在監獄裡。

U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley agreed Friday to end Tommy Thompson's sentence on the civil contempt charge, saying he “no longer is convinced that further incarceration is likely to coerce compliance.”

美國地方法院法官阿爾根農·馬布利（Algenon Marbley）週五同意結束湯米·湯普森（Tommy Thompson）對民事蔑視指控的判決，稱他“不再確信進一步的監禁可能會迫使遵守。”

However, he also ordered that the research scientist immediately start serving a two-year sentence he received for a related criminal contempt charge, a term that was delayed when the civil contempt term was imposed.

但是，他還命令研究科學家立即開始服刑兩年徒刑，以判處相關的罪名指控，這一任期被延遲了，這一任期被推遲了。

Thompson has been held in contempt of court since Dec. 15, 2015, and also incurred a daily fine of $1,000. In his ruling, Marbley assessed Thompson's total civil contempt fine at $3,335,000.

湯普森自2015年12月15日以來一直在蔑視法院，也因每日罰款1,000美元。在他的裁決中，Marbley評估了湯普森的民事鄙視罰款，定為3,335,000美元。

Thompson's case dates to his discovery of the S.S. Central America, known as the Ship of Gold, in 1988. The gold rush-era ship sank in a hurricane off South Carolina in 1857 with thousands of pounds of gold aboard, contributing to an economic panic.

湯普森（Thompson）的案子可以追溯到他在1988年發現的中美洲（被稱為黃金船）的發現。1857年，戈德拉什時代的船在南卡羅來納州的一場颶風中沉沒在颶風中，上面有數千磅的黃金船，這有助於經濟恐慌。

Despite an investor lawsuit and a federal court order, Thompson still won't cooperate with authorities trying to find 500 coins minted from some of the gold, according to court records. He has previously said, without providing details, that the coins — valued at about $2.5 million — were turned over to a trust in Belize.

根據法庭記錄，儘管有投資者訴訟和聯邦法院命令，但湯普森仍然不會與試圖從某些黃金中找到500枚硬幣的當局合作。他此前曾說過，沒有提供細節，這些硬幣（價值約為250萬美元）被移交給了伯利茲的信託。

After Thompson failed to appear for a 2012 Ohio hearing to discuss the coins, U.S. marshals eventually tracked him to Florida in 2015 and arrested him. He pleaded guilty in April 2015 to skipping that hearing and was given the two-year prison sentence.

湯普森未能參加2012年俄亥俄州的聽證會來討論硬幣之後，美國元帥最終於2015年追踪他到佛羅里達州並逮捕了他。他於2015年4月認罪，以跳過該聽證會，並被判處兩年徒刑。

Federal law generally limits jail time for contempt of court to 18 months. But a federal appeals court in 2019 rejected Thompson's argument that law applies to him, saying his refusal violated conditions of a plea agreement.

聯邦法律通常會將con視時間限制為18個月。但是，2019年的聯邦上訴法院駁回了湯普森的論點，即法律適用於他，稱他的拒絕違反了認罪協議的條件。
