加密貨幣交易所的創始人在加利福尼亞州的法院被判犯有與反洗錢（AML）相關的同名人物（AML）。

在3月12日在加利福尼亞北部地區的美國地方法院進行的一次審判中，陪審團裁定AML比特幣創作者羅蘭·馬庫斯·安德拉德（Rowland Marcus Andrade）犯有兩項重罪罪名，這是欺騙投資者的計劃的一部分。

A California jury has found the founder of cryptocurrency exchange AML Bitcoin, Rowland Marcus Andrade, guilty of two felony counts of wire fraud and money laundering.

加利福尼亞州的一個陪審團發現了加密貨幣交易所AML比特幣的創始人，羅蘭·馬庫斯·安德拉德（Rowland Marcus Andrade），犯有兩項重罪的電匯欺詐和洗錢。

The verdict, reached on March 12 in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, concludes a case that began with criminal charges filed by the Justice Department in June 2020. These charges ran parallel to a civil case filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Andrade and the NAC Foundation, of which he was the founder and CEO.

該判決於3月12日在美國加利福尼亞北部地區的美國地方法院達成，案件始於2020年6月司法部於2020年6月提起的刑事指控。這些指控與美國證券交易委員會（SEC）對Andrade及其NAC基金會提出的民事案件平行。

The SEC's case notably involved political lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who served four years in prison between 2006 and 2010 following his conviction on mail fraud, conspiracy to bribe public officials and tax evasion. A judge agreed to stay the SEC lawsuit in January 2021 until the conclusion of Andrade's criminal case, suggesting that it may now proceed.

SEC的案件特別涉及政治遊說者傑克·艾布拉莫夫（Jack Abramoff），後者在2006年至2010年在郵寄欺詐，串謀賄賂公職人員和逃稅之後被判入獄四年。法官同意在2021年1月持續SEC訴訟，直到安德拉德（Andrade）的刑事案件結束，這表明現在可以進行。

The indictment claimed that the NAC Foundation, for which Andrade was the founder and CEO, asserted its cryptocurrency, AML Bitcoin, which ultimately never launched, would fully comply with money laundering and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations. Andrade allegedly used these claims to solicit investors for an initial coin offering between 2017 and 2018.

起訴書聲稱，Andrade是創始人兼首席執行官的NAC基金會斷言其加密貨幣AML比特幣（最終從未啟動）將完全遵守洗錢，並了解您的客戶（KYC）法規。據稱，安德拉德（Andrade）使用這些主張來徵集投資者在2017年至2018年之間的初始硬幣。

According to the IRS, Andrade misappropriated and diverted more than $2 million in proceeds from the sale of the AML Bitcoin token to be used for the foundation's operations. Instead, he allegedly spent the funds on his personal expenses, including the purchase of two properties in California and luxury vehicles, such as a Rolls-Royce Dawn and a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

根據國稅局的說法，安德拉德（Andrade）盜用並轉移了超過200萬美元的收益，用於出售AML比特幣代幣，用於基金會的運營。取而代之的是，據稱他將這些資金用於個人支出，包括在加利福尼亞州購買兩家物業和豪華車輛，例如勞斯萊斯黎明和梅賽德斯 - 奔馳S級。

"Andrade falsely claimed, among other misrepresentations, that the Panama Canal Authority was close to permitting AML Bitcoin to be used for ships passing through the Panama Canal when no such agreement existed," added the Justice Department in a March 13 statement.

司法部在3月13日的聲明中補充說：“安德拉德（Andrade）錯誤地聲稱，除其他虛假陳述外，巴拿馬運河權限即將允許在沒有這種協議的情況下將AML比特幣用於穿過巴拿馬運河的船隻。”

Andrade's sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 22. He remains free on a $75,000 bond with some travel restrictions. The sentence for the wire fraud count carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, while the money laundering count is punishable by a maximum of 10 years.

安德拉德（Andrade）的宣判聽證會定於7月22日舉行。他仍然免費獲得75,000美元的債券，並有一些旅行限制。電匯欺詐罪的刑期最高判處20年監禁，而洗錢罪最多可判處10年。
