FBI 創造自己的加密代幣以誘騙市場操縱者

對於美國聯邦調查局 (FBI) 來說，臥底行動並不罕見。然而，這將是該局第一次以正義的名義創建自己的加密代幣。

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has created its own cryptocurrency token in a sting operation to uncover crypto market manipulators.

美國聯邦調查局（FBI）在一次誘捕行動中創建了自己的加密貨幣代幣，以揭露加密貨幣市場操縱者。

According to a recently unsealed indictment, several firms, including Gotbit, CLS Global, MyTrade and ZM Quant, and 18 individuals have been charged with artificially inflating the price of tokens by executing sham trades in exchange for payment. One of the tokens in question was ‘NexFundAI’ — an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency created by the FBI to entrap the manipulators.

根據最近公佈的起訴書，包括 Gotbit、CLS Global、MyTrade 和 ZM Quant 在內的幾家公司以及 18 名個人被指控透過執行虛假交易以換取付款，人為抬高代幣價格。其中一個有問題的代幣是「NexFundAI」——聯邦調查局創建的一種基於以太坊的加密貨幣，旨在誘騙操縱者。

“This marks the first time that the FBI has created its own cryptocurrency token in the name of justice,” said Special Agent Jodi Cohen, who is in charge of the FBI’s Boston Field Office, calling it an “unprecedented step.”

負責 FBI 波士頓外地辦事處的特工喬迪·科恩 (Jodi Cohen) 表示：「這標誌著 FBI 首次以正義的名義創建自己的加密貨幣代幣，」他稱這是「前所未有的一步」。

According to data from DEXScreener, the NexFundAI token is still trading, with a market capitalization of $177,000. Trading volume for the token has reportedly surged by 5,000% over the last 24 hours, reaching $3.5 million.

根據 DEXScreener 的數據，NexFundAI 代幣仍在交易，市值為 177,000 美元。據報道，該代幣的交易量在過去 24 小時內飆升了 5,000%，達到 350 萬美元。

“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,” said Acting United States Attorney Joshua Levy in a statement.

「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。美國代理檢察官約書亞·利維 (Joshua Levy) 在一份聲明中表示：“清洗交易在金融市場上長期以來一直被禁止，加密貨幣也不例外。”

The FBI is also urging individuals who have been impacted by trading tokens associated with the fraud to reach out, listing its own token alongside coins like Saitama, Robo Inn, VZZN and Lillian Finance.

FBI 也敦促受到與詐欺相關的代幣交易影響的個人伸出援手，將自己的代幣與 Saitama、Robo Inn、VZZN 和 Lillian Finance 等代幣一起列出。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also brought separate lawsuits against Gotbit Consulting, ZM Quant Investment and CLS Global.

美國證券交易委員會（SEC）也分別對 Gotbit Consulting、ZM Quant Investment 和 CLS Global 提起訴訟。

According to Conor Grogan, the director of Web3 at Coinbase, onchain activity shows that wallets linked to the FBI have recently made several memecoin trades.

Coinbase Web3 總監康納格羅根 (Conor Grogan) 表示，鏈上活動顯示，與 FBI 相關的錢包最近進行了多筆 memecoin 交易。

“Not sure if the FBI realized this, but they doxxed their wallets. Shortly after deployment, the wallet that seeded the FBI wallet deployed capital to multiple other wallets, making dozens of trades. FBI wallets own at least 75% of the token supply from what I can tell,” said Grogan on X.

「不確定聯邦調查局是否意識到這一點，但他們人肉搜尋了他們的錢包。部署後不久，為 FBI 錢包注入資金的錢包將資金部署到多個其他錢包，進行了數十筆交易。據我所知，FBI 錢包至少有 75% 的代幣供應。

Grogan’s analysis revealed that FBI-linked wallets own coins like Pornrocket, EthereumMAX and BONE. It is unclear whether those coins were sent to the FBI’s linked wallet addresses by other users.

Grogan 的分析顯示，與 FBI 相關的錢包擁有 Pornrocket、EthereumMAX 和 BONE 等代幣。目前尚不清楚這些代幣是否被其他用戶發送到聯邦調查局的連結錢包地址。
