波士頓對四家加密貨幣公司、四家加密貨幣金融服務公司(稱為「做市商」)的領導人以及這些公司的員工提出了指控。
BOSTON – Eighteen individuals and entities have been charged for widespread fraud and manipulation in the cryptocurrency markets. Charges were unsealed in Boston against the leaders of four cryptocurrency companies, four cryptocurrency financial services firms (known as “market makers”) and employees at those firms.
波士頓 — — 十八個人和實體因加密貨幣市場中廣泛的欺詐和操縱行為而被指控。波士頓對四家加密貨幣公司、四家加密貨幣金融服務公司(稱為「做市商」)的領導人以及這些公司的員工提出了指控。
Four defendants have pleaded guilty, another defendant has agreed to plead guilty, and authorities apprehended three other defendants in Texas, the United Kingdom and Portugal this week. More than $25 million in cryptocurrency has been seized and multiple trading bots responsible for millions of dollars’ worth of wash trades for approximately 60 different cryptocurrencies have been deactivated.
四名被告已認罪,另一名被告已同意認罪,當局本週在德克薩斯州、英國和葡萄牙逮捕了另外三名被告。超過 2,500 萬美元的加密貨幣已被扣押,負責約 60 種不同加密貨幣價值數百萬美元清洗交易的多個交易機器人已停用。
According to the charging documents, the defendants who created cryptocurrency companies made false statements about their cryptocurrencies (“tokens”) and executed sham trades in those tokens (“wash trades”) to create the appearance of trading activity that would make the tokens look like good investments. These deceptive tactics allegedly attracted new investors and purchasers, which resulted in an increase in the tokens’ trading prices. The defendants are then alleged to have sold their tokens at the artificially inflated prices, a fraud commonly known as a “pump and dump.” The largest of these cryptocurrency companies, Saitama, at one point had a multi-billion-dollar market value.
根據指控文件,創建加密貨幣公司的被告對其加密貨幣(「代幣」)做出虛假陳述,並執行這些代幣的虛假交易(「清洗交易」),以製造交易活動的假象,使代幣看起來像是良好的投資。據稱,這些欺騙手段吸引了新的投資者和購買者,導致代幣交易價格上漲。隨後,被告被指控以人為抬高的價格出售其代幣,這種欺詐行為通常被稱為「拉高拋售」。這些加密貨幣公司中最大的一家是埼玉縣,市值一度達到數十億美元。
The cryptocurrency companies also allegedly hired financial services firms ( “market makers”) to wash trade their tokens in exchange for payment. As one market maker defendant, who has agreed to plead guilty, described the practice to a prospective client: the “objective on the secondary markets” is to find “other buyers from the community, people you don’t know about or don’t care about” because “we have to make [the other buyers] lose money in order to make profit.”
據稱,加密貨幣公司還聘請了金融服務公司(「做市商」)來清洗交易其代幣以換取付款。正如一名同意認罪的做市商被告向一位潛在客戶描述的做法:“二級市場的目標”是找到“社區中的其他買家,那些你不認識或不認識的人”關心”,因為“我們必須讓[其他買家]賠錢才能盈利。”
Three market makers—ZM Quant, CLS Global and MyTrade—along with their employees are charged with allegedly wash trading and/or conspiring to wash trade on behalf of NexFundAI, a cryptocurrency company and token created at the direction of law enforcement as part of the government’s investigation. A fourth market maker, Gotbit, its CEO, and two of its directors are also charged for perpetrating a similar scheme.
三個做市商——ZM Quant、CLS Global 和MyTrade——及其員工被指控涉嫌代表NexFundAI 進行虛假交易和/或密謀虛假交易。幣,作為政府的調查。第四家做市商 Gotbit、其執行長和兩名董事也因實施類似計畫而受到指控。
Specifics regarding the defendants and conduct are detailed in Attachment A below.
有關被告及其行為的具體情況詳見下文附件 A。
“This investigation, the first of its kind, identified numerous fraudsters in the cryptocurrency industry. Wash trading has long been outlawed in the financial markets, and cryptocurrency is no exception. These are cases where an innovative technology – cryptocurrency – met a century old scheme – the pump and dump. The message today is, if you make false statements to trick investors, that’s fraud. Period. Our Office will aggressively pursue fraud, including in the cryptocurrency industry,” said Acting United States Attorney Joshua Levy. “These charges are also a stark reminder of how vigilant online investors must be and that doing your homework before diving into the digital frontier is critical. People considering making investments in the cryptocurrency industry should understand how these scams work so that they can protect themselves.”
「這項調查是此類調查中的首次,發現了加密貨幣行業中的眾多詐欺者。清洗交易在金融市場早已被禁止,加密貨幣也不例外。在這些案例中,創新技術——加密貨幣——遇到了一個世紀之久的方案——拉高並拋售。今天要傳達的訊息是,如果你做出虛假陳述來欺騙投資者,那就是詐欺。時期。我們的辦公室將積極追查詐欺行為,包括加密貨幣行業的詐欺行為。 「這些指控也清楚地提醒我們,線上投資者必須保持警惕,在進入數位領域之前做好功課至關重要。考慮投資加密貨幣行業的人應該了解這些騙局是如何運作的,以便保護自己。
“What the FBI uncovered in this case is essentially a new twist to old-school financial crime. ‘Operation Token Mirrors’ targeted nefarious token developers, promoters, and market makers in the crypto space. What we uncovered has resulted in charges against the leadership of four cryptocurrency companies, and four crypto ‘market makers’ and their employees who are accused of spearheading a sophisticated trading scheme that allegedly bilked honest investors out of millions of dollars,” said Jodi Cohen, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Division. “The FBI took the unprecedented step of creating its very own cryptocurrency token and company to identify, disrupt, and bring these alleged fraudsters to justice.”
「聯邦調查局在這起案件中發現的本質上是傳統金融犯罪的新變種。 「Operation Token Mirrors」針對的是加密貨幣領域的邪惡代幣開發商、推廣者和做市商。我們發現的情況導致四家加密貨幣公司的領導層以及四家加密貨幣「做市商」及其員工受到指控,他們被指控帶頭實施複雜的交易計劃,據稱詐騙了誠實的投資者數百萬美元。 “聯邦調查局採取了前所未有的步驟,創建了自己的加密貨幣代幣和公司,以識別、破壞這些涉嫌欺詐者並將其繩之以法。”
