Alleged Crypto Scammer Robert Robb Enticed Investors with Promises of Million-Dollar Returns

涉嫌加密貨幣詐騙者羅伯特·羅布（Robert Robb）以百萬美元回報的承諾來吸引投資者

Las Vegas, Nevada - March 29, 2024 - In a shocking indictment, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has charged Robert Robb, a self-proclaimed crypto enthusiast, with orchestrating an elaborate scheme that swindled crypto investors out of an estimated $1.5 million.

內華達州拉斯維加斯- 2024 年3 月29 日- 在一份令人震驚的起訴書中，聯邦調查局(FBI) 指控自稱加密貨幣愛好者的羅伯特·羅伯(Robert Robb) 策劃了一項精心策劃的計劃，詐騙了加密貨幣投資者約150 萬美元。

According to the FBI's affidavit, Robb utilized the popular messaging platform Telegram to lure investors with the promise of extraordinary returns through a revolutionary crypto trading bot he claimed to be developing. The bot, known as the Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) bot, purportedly employed sophisticated algorithms to identify profitable trading opportunities on blockchain networks, promising investors astronomical gains of up to 100 times their initial investment.

根據 FBI 的證詞，Robb 利用流行的訊息平台 Telegram 來吸引投資者，並承諾透過他聲稱正在開發的革命性加密貨幣交易機器人獲得非凡回報。該機器人被稱為最大可提取價值 (MEV) 機器人，據稱採用複雜的演算法來識別區塊鏈網路上有利可圖的交易機會，向投資者承諾高達其初始投資 100 倍的天文收益。

Robb allegedly distributed alluring messages to Telegram groups, tantalizing investors with claims of instant wealth. In one such message, accompanied by a whimsical image of a purple fairy wearing a mushroom cap, Robb proclaimed, "Poof, YOU'RE A MILLIONAIRE."

據稱，羅布向 Telegram 群組散佈誘人訊息，聲稱可以立即致富以誘惑投資者。在這樣的一條信息中，伴隨著一個戴著蘑菇帽的紫色仙女的異想天開的圖像，羅伯宣稱：“噗，你是百萬富翁。”

Enticed by the prospect of effortless riches, multiple investors reportedly transferred funds to Robb's designated accounts. However, after the promised delivery date, the MEV bot failed to materialize, and requests for refunds were met with a barrage of excuses from Robb.

據報道，受輕鬆致富前景的誘惑，多名投資人將資金轉入羅布的指定帳戶。然而，在承諾的交付日期之後，MEV 機器人未能實現，退款請求遭到了羅布的一系列藉口。

Through extensive financial investigations, the FBI traced the stolen funds to Robb's personal bank accounts. Evidence suggests that a significant portion of the illicit gains was lavishly spent on extravagant luxuries, including a two-year lease of an executive suite at the Denver Broncos' Mile High Stadium, a high-end Jeep, and a luxurious vacation in the Bahamas.

透過廣泛的財務調查，聯邦調查局將被盜資金追蹤到羅布的個人銀行帳戶。有證據表明，非法所得的很大一部分被大量用於奢侈奢侈品，包括在丹佛野馬隊英里高體育場租用一套行政套房、一輛高端吉普車以及在巴哈馬群島的豪華度假，為期兩年。

The FBI's investigation further uncovered a pattern of inconsistencies and improbable claims surrounding the MEV bot. While Robb frequently boasted about the bot's advanced capabilities, there was no concrete evidence to substantiate these claims.

FBI 的調查進一步發現了圍繞 MEV 機器人的不一致和不可能的說法。雖然羅伯經常吹噓機器人的先進功能，但沒有具體證據證實這些說法。

Despite his history of publicly denouncing crypto scams, Robb's own actions appear to contradict his professed concern for investor protection. Under the Twitter handle @pokerbrat2019, Robb portrayed himself as a victim of past extortion and frequently warned his followers about the dangers of dishonest crypto practices.

儘管羅伯有公開譴責加密貨幣詐騙的歷史，但他自己的行為似乎與他所聲稱的對投資者保護的擔憂相矛盾。在 Twitter 帳號@pokerbrat2019 下，Robb 將自己描繪成過去勒索的受害者，並經常警告他的追隨者有關不誠實加密貨幣行為的危險。

On March 20, 2024, 46-year-old Robb was apprehended in Las Vegas and charged with multiple counts of wire fraud and money laundering. Crypto detective ZachXBT shared a screenshot of his arrest records on the social media platform X.

2024 年 3 月 20 日，46 歲的羅伯在拉斯維加斯被捕，並被指控犯有多項電信詐欺和洗錢罪名。加密貨幣偵探 ZachXBT 在社群媒體平台 X 上分享了他的逮捕記錄截圖。

Robb's online presence has remained dormant since the day of his arrest. His final post, published hours before his apprehension, mocked his followers for their "predictability" and teased the imminent release of a Solana bot.

自被捕之日起，羅布的網路形像一直處於休眠狀態。他的最後一篇文章在他被捕前幾個小時發表，嘲笑他的追隨者的“可預測性”，並嘲笑了即將發布的 Solana 機器人。

The FBI's prosecution of Robert Robb underscores the urgent need for vigilance and due diligence in the cryptocurrency market. Investors are urged to exercise caution when confronted with unrealistic investment promises and to thoroughly research any potential opportunities before committing funds.

美國聯邦調查局對羅伯特羅伯的起訴凸顯了加密貨幣市場迫切需要保持警惕和盡職調查。投資者在面對不切實際的投資承諾時應保持謹慎，並在投入資金之前徹底研究任何潛在機會。

The case against Robb serves as a stark reminder that even within the rapidly evolving realm of digital assets, fraudsters continue to exploit the allure of quick riches, and it remains essential to rely on reputable sources and proven investment strategies to safeguard financial well-being.

針對 Robb 的案件清楚地提醒我們，即使在快速發展的數位資產領域，詐欺者仍然繼續利用快速致富的誘惑，依靠信譽良好的來源和經過驗證的投資策略來維護財務福祉仍然至關重要。
