來自德克薩斯州的比特幣投資者弗蘭克·阿爾格倫三世 (Frank Ahlgren III) 因未能報告 400 萬美元的加密貨幣收益而被判處兩年監禁。美國國稅局 (IRS) 發現他利用混合器、多個錢包和現金交易來逃稅超過 55 萬美元。

Frank Ahlgren III Failed to Report $4M Bitcoin Gains, Causing $550K Tax Loss

Frank Ahlgren III 未能報告 400 萬美元的比特幣收益，導致 55 萬美元的稅收損失

Frank Richard Ahlgren III, an early Bitcoin investor from Austin, Texas, sold approximately $4 million worth of Bitcoin between 2017 and 2019. However, he failed to report these gains on his tax returns which led to over $550,000 tax loss for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

來自德州奧斯汀的早期比特幣投資者弗蘭克·理查德·阿爾格倫三世(Frank Richard Ahlgren III) 在2017 年至2019 年間出售了價值約400 萬美元的比特幣。能在報稅表上申報這些收益，導致國稅局損失超過55 萬美元的稅金（國稅局）。

In 2017, Ahlgren sold about 640 bitcoins for $3.7 million and used the proceeds to purchase a house in Park City, Utah. He then filed a false tax return and inflated the cost basis of Bitcoin to underreport his capital gains.

2017 年，Ahlgren 以 370 萬美元的價格出售了約 640 個比特幣，並用所得收益在猶他州帕克城購買了一套房子。然後，他提交了虛假納稅申報表，並誇大了比特幣的成本基礎，以少報其資本利得。

In 2018 and 2019, Ahlgren sold additional Bitcoins worth over $650,000. However, he did not report these transactions on his tax returns for those years which further contributed to tax loss.

2018 年和 2019 年，Ahlgren 額外出售了價值超過 65 萬美元的比特幣。然而，他並沒有在這些年的報稅表上申報這些交易，這進一步造成了稅務損失。

The IRS requires all taxpayers to report proceeds and gains or losses from the sale of cryptocurrency on their tax returns. Therefore, Ahlgren’s deliberate underreporting violated these requirements which resulted in major tax losses.

美國國稅局要求所有納稅人在報稅表上報告出售加密貨幣的收益和損益。因此，阿爾格倫故意少報違反了這些要求，導致重大稅收損失。

Ahlgren Used Mixers and Multiple Wallets to Conceal Transactions from the IRS

Ahlgren 使用混合器和多個錢包向 IRS 隱瞞交易

Ahlgren used various sophisticated methods to hide the source of his cryptocurrency funds. He uses mixers, which are designed to conceal the individual who initiates a transaction by blending multiple transactions. Additionally, he used multiple digital wallets to distribute Bitcoin across various accounts which made it difficult for authorities to track the transactions.

阿爾格倫使用各種複雜的方法來隱藏其加密貨幣資金的來源。他使用混合器，其目的是透過混合多個交易來隱藏發起交易的個人。此外，他使用多個數位錢包在各個帳戶之間分配比特幣，這使得當局難以追蹤交易。

Ahlgren also conducted in-person cash exchanges where he met individuals to trade Bitcoin for cash. This method allowed him to avoid using traditional financial institutions that would report large transactions to the IRS. These techniques created a complex web of transactions and enabled him to evade detection by tax authorities.

阿爾格倫還進行了面對面的現金交易，在那裡他遇到了用比特幣交易現金的人。這種方法使他能夠避免使用向國稅局報告大筆交易的傳統金融機構。這些技術創造了一個複雜的交易網絡，使他能夠逃避稅務機關的偵查。

The IRS’s Criminal Investigation division and the Texas Office of the Attorney General investigated Ahlgren’s activities. This investigation led to the first criminal tax evasion prosecution in the U.S cryptocurrency space.

美國國稅局刑事調查部門和德克薩斯州總檢察長辦公室調查了阿爾格倫的活動。這項調查導致了美國加密貨幣領域首例逃稅刑事起訴。

美國地方法院法官羅伯特皮特曼判處阿爾格倫兩年監禁和一年監管釋放。此外，Ahlgren 還被命令向美國政府支付 1,095,031 美元的賠償金。

The IRS has demonstrated its capability to trace cryptocurrency transactions through sophisticated networks. This development marks a regulatory milestone for cryptocurrency in the U.S. The IRS requires all taxpayers to accurately report all cryptocurrency transactions to ensure compliance with tax laws.

美國國稅局已經展示了其透過複雜網路追蹤加密貨幣交易的能力。這項進展標誌著美國加密貨幣監管的里程碑。
