詐欺者被勒令為外匯和數位資產詐騙支付 3,600 萬美元

聯邦法院命令紐約居民 William Koo Ichioka 因參與外匯和數位資產詐欺計劃支付超過 3,600 萬美元

William Koo Ichioka, a New York resident, has been ordered by a federal court to pay over $36 million for his role in a forex and digital asset fraud scheme, according to an announcement made on Friday by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The regulator stated:

根據商品期貨交易委員會 (CFTC) 週五發布的公告，紐約居民 William Koo Ichioka 因參與外匯和數位資產詐欺計劃而被聯邦法院勒令支付超過 3,600 萬美元。監理機關表示：

The order mandates that Ichioka pay $31 million in restitution to defrauded victims and a $5 million civil monetary penalty in connection with his fraudulent foreign currency (forex) and digital asset fraud scheme.

該命令要求 Ichioka 向詐騙受害者支付 3,100 萬美元的賠償，並就其外幣和數位資產詐欺計劃支付 500 萬美元的民事罰款。

This ruling comes after Ichioka admitted to defrauding investors by fabricating financial documents and making false promises regarding investment returns in digital assets.

這項裁決是在 Ichioka 承認透過偽造財務文件並對數位資產投資回報做出虛假承諾來欺騙投資者之後作出的。

In addition to the financial penalties, Ichioka received a 48-month prison sentence for related criminal charges, including commodities fraud and wire fraud.

除了經濟處罰外，Ichioka 還因商品詐欺和電信詐欺等相關刑事指控被判處 48 個月監禁。

Ichioka's scheme, which began in 2018, involved misleading investors by promising a guaranteed 10% return every 30 business days. While some of the funds were invested in forex and digital asset commodities, Ichioka personally misappropriated the majority of the participant money.

Ichioka 的計畫始於 2018 年，該計畫承諾每 30 個工作日保證 10% 的回報，從而誤導投資者。雖然部分資金投資於外匯和數位資產商品，但市岡個人挪用了大部分參與者資金。

The CFTC noted:

美國商品期貨交易委員會指出：

Although Ichioka invested some funds in forex and digital asset commodities, he commingled participant money with his own funds and used participant funds for his own personal expenses, including, among other things, rent for his personal residence, jewelry, including watches, and luxury vehicles.

儘管市岡將部分資金投資於外匯和數位資產商品，但他將參與者的資金與自己的資金混合在一起，並將參與者的資金用於自己的個人開支，其中包括個人住宅的租金、珠寶（包括手錶）和豪華車輛。

To sustain the fraud, he overstated the value of his investments through false account statements and other financial documents.

為了維持欺詐，他透過虛假帳戶報表和其他財務文件誇大了自己的投資價值。
