小埃里克委員會（Eric Council Jr.

阿拉巴馬州黑客，小埃里克委員會（Eric Council Jr.）表示認罪，以黑客入侵美國證券交易委員會的X帳戶，並在2024年1月9日發布有關現貨比特幣ETF的偽造。

An Alabama man has pleaded guilty to hacking the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s X account and making a fake post about the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs on Jan. 9, 2024.

一名阿拉巴馬州的一名男子認罪，以黑客入侵美國證券交易委員會的X帳戶，並在2024年1月9日發布有關Spot Bitcoin ETF的虛假帖子。

The 25-year-old Eric Council Jr. appeared in Washington federal court on Monday, admitting to identity theft and access device fraud. Judge Amy Berman Jackson scheduled his sentencing for May 16.

25歲的埃里克議會（Eric Council Jr.）週一在華盛頓聯邦法院出庭，承認身份盜用和訪問裝置欺詐。法官艾米·貝爾曼·傑克遜（Amy Berman Jackson）計劃於5月16日進行宣判。

Prosecutors say that co-conspirators guided Council through the hack, setting off a digital bomb that briefly inflated Bitcoin’s price before it came down crashing as the SEC quickly denied the post, confirming that the announcement was unauthorized. They actually made the real announcement just a day later on January 10th.

檢察官說，同謀指導理事會犯下了黑客攻擊，這是一枚數字炸彈，在SEC迅速拒絕該職位的情況下，該炸彈短暫誇大了比特幣的價格崩潰，證實了該公告未經授權。實際上，他們在一天后的1月10日就發布了真正的公告。

According to the court filing, Council used a fake ID to manipulate an employee at a local phone store into giving him access to the victim’s phone. With the help of the aforementioned co-conspirators who had already chosen the target, he bypassed security measures on X (formerly Twitter).

根據法院申請，理事會使用假ID來操縱當地電話店的員工，以使他訪問受害者的電話。在已經選擇了目標的上述同謀的幫助下，他繞過了X上的安全措施（以前是Twitter）。

Prosecutors described the hack as calculated, with the team exploiting weaknesses in both physical and digital systems. The timing of the fake post couldn’t have been better—or worse, depending on how you look at it.

檢察官將其描述為計算的，團隊在物理和數字系統中利用弱點。假帖子的時機再好不過了，或者更糟糕的是，取決於您的看法。

Markets were eagerly waiting for news from the SEC, as spot Bitcoin ETFs had been delayed for years due to legal battles. When Council’s fake post went live, it was like pouring gasoline on an already burning market.

由於合法的戰鬥，市場急切地等待SEC的新聞，因為現貨比特幣ETF已被推遲了多年。當安理會的假郵報上線時，就像在已經燃燒的市場上倒汽油一樣。

The launch has been historic nevertheless, as BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) made history as the most successful ETF debut in history. January 2025 saw nearly $5 billion in inflows, with projections estimating that figure could hit $59 billion by year’s end. But thanks to the geopolitical and economic uncertainties around the US and China, the ETFs only attracted a combined $171 million in net inflows in last session’s trading on Friday, according to data from Farside.

儘管如此，由於貝萊德（Blackrock）的iShares比特幣信託（IBIT）將歷史作為歷史上最成功的ETF首次亮相，因此發射一直是歷史性的。 2025年1月的流入率將近50億美元，預測估計該數字到年底可能達到590億美元。但是，由於Farside的數據顯示，由於美國和中國各地的地緣政治和經濟不確定性，ETF僅吸引了上週五的交易中的1.71億美元的淨流入。

Meanwhile just last week, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) filed trademarks for its Truth.Fi Bitcoin Plus ETF as the self-proclaimed ‘crypto president’ Donald Trump continues to expand his footprint in the crypto industry.

同時，就在上週，特朗普媒體與技術集團（TMTG）以其真相提交了商標。fi比特幣加ETF作為自稱為“加密貨幣總統”唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）繼續擴大他在加密貨幣行業的足跡。
