Galaxy Digital同意支付2億美元，以解決NYAG調查其推廣Terra（Luna）

Galaxy Digital以30％的折扣收購了1,850萬個Luna令牌，然後促銷了它們，然後在不遵守披露規則的情況下出售它們。

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that her office has reached a settlement agreement with crypto investment firm Galaxy Digital and its CEO Michael Novogratz for allegedly spreading false claims about cryptocurrency startup Terra (LUNA) and failing to disclose material facts related to an investment in its tokens.

紐約總檢察長萊蒂蒂亞·詹姆斯（Letitia James）宣布，她的辦公室已與加密投資公司Galaxy Digital及其首席執行官Michael Novogratz達成了和解協議，據稱據稱傳播了有關加密貨幣初創企業Terra（Luna）的虛假主張，並且未能透露與該代幣投資相關的物質事實。

According to the filing, Galaxy Digital acquired 18.5 million LUNA tokens at a 30% discount and later sold them without disclosing the discount or the firm’s role in promoting the tokens to increase demand.

根據文件，Galaxy Digital以30％的折扣收購了1,850萬Luna代幣，後來將其出售，而無需披露折扣或公司在促進代幣以增加需求方面的作用。

The filing mentions that the firm’s employees made false claims about the usage of a South Korean payments app, Chai, in an attempt to boost LUNA. The statement said that the app was built on the Terra blockchain, while it is actually used by a separate blockchain.

該文件提到，該公司的員工對使用韓國付款應用程序Chai提出了錯誤的說法，以試圖促進Luna。該聲明說，該應用是建立在Terra區塊鏈上的，而實際上是由單獨的區塊鏈使用的。

This claim was also included in a press release sent to Bloomberg highlighting that the app “hosts over 2 million users and generates $1.2 billion in annualized transaction volume.”

該主張也包括在發送給彭博社的新聞稿中，該新聞稿強調，該應用程序“託管了200萬用戶，並產生了12億美元的年度交易量”。

The statement adds that Novogratz participated in an interview with Bloomberg in March 2022, where he discussed the app and claimed that it was used by 2 million people in South Korea.

聲明補充說，諾維格拉茨於2022年3月參加了彭博社的採訪，在那裡他討論了該應用程序，並聲稱韓國有200萬人使用了該應用程序。

As part of the settlement agreement, Galaxy will pay $200 million in monetary relief over three years: $40 million within 15 days, another $40 million within one year, and two additional payments of $60 million due within the second and third years, respectively.

作為和解協議的一部分，Galaxy將在三年內支付2億美元的貨幣救濟：15天內4000萬美元，在一年內另外4000萬美元，並分別在第二和第三年內額外支付6000萬美元。

The filing also notes that the firm will be banned from investing in any digital asset security offerings for a period of three years.

該文件還指出，將禁止該公司在三年內投資任何數字資產安全產品。

Earlier this month, New York State Attorney General Letitia James announced that her office has recovered over $875 million from a hedge fund that made false statements about a distressed debt portfolio.

本月早些時候，紐約州檢察長萊蒂亞·詹姆斯（Letitia James）宣布，她的辦公室已從對沖基金中收回了超過8.75億美元，該基金對遇險債務組合做出了虛假陳述。

James’s office had filed a lawsuit against Manhattan-based hedge fund, Pivotal Law, and its founder and managing partner, David DeMuro, in December 2021.

詹姆斯辦公室於2021年12月對總部位於曼哈頓的對沖基金及其創始人兼執行夥伴David Demuro提起訴訟。

The lawsuit, which was filed in New York Supreme Court, accused Pivotal of making false and misleading statements to investors about the assets andliabilities of a distressed debt portfolio that it was managing.

該訴訟是在紐約最高法院提起的，指控關鍵是向投資者發表虛假和誤導性的聲明，內容涉及其管理的欠債債務組合的資產和債務。

Pivotal’s misstatements to investors began in 2019, when it told investors that it had no outstanding liabilities and had assets of over $250 million. However, Pivotal had actually incurred significant liabilities and had assets of less than $100 million.

Pivotal對投資者的錯誤陳述始於2019年，當時它告訴投資者它沒有出色的債務，資產超過2.5億美元。但是，關鍵實際上已經產生了重大負債，資產不到1億美元。

The filing notes that Pivotal’s misstatements were part of a broader scheme to defraud investors. For example, Pivotal’s executives allegedly used investor funds to pay for personal expenses and to make lavish investments in a cryptocurrency that subsequently lost nearly all of its value.

該文件指出，關鍵的錯誤陳述是欺騙投資者的更廣泛計劃的一部分。例如，據稱，Pivotal的高管使用投資者資金來支付個人支出，並在加密貨幣上進行豪華投資，該加密貨幣隨後幾乎失去了其所有價值。

The filing also notes that Pivotal failed to disclose material facts about its investment strategy and risk management practices.

該文件還指出，關鍵未能透露有關其投資策略和風險管理實踐的重大事實。

In March 2024, the hedge fund agreed to pay $875 million to settle the lawsuit. The settlement will be paid over a period of three years and will include restitution to defrauded investors.

2024年3月，對沖基金同意支付8.75億美元來解決訴訟。和解將在三年的時間內支付，並將包括向欺詐投資者賠償。

“After mismanaging a distressed debt portfolio and losing nearly all of the investment capital entrusted to Pivotal, DeMuro and Pivotal tried to deceive investors with a series of lies,” said Attorney General James. “We are holding Pivotal accountable for its actions and ensuring that investors are made whole.”

總檢察長詹姆斯說：“在管理不良的債務組合併失去了幾乎所有託付給關鍵的投資資本之後，Demuro和Pivotal試圖用一系列謊言欺騙投資者。” “我們對其行動負責，並確保投資者成為整體。”

The case began when investigators at Attorney General James’s office, who are experienced in handling cases of financial fraud, uncovered evidence of Pivotal’s misconduct. The investigation revealed that Pivotal had been making false and misleading statements to investors for years.

該案始於詹姆斯總檢察長辦公室的調查人員在處理財務欺詐案件的經驗時，發現了Pivotal不當行為的證據。調查顯示，多年來，關鍵一直向投資者發表虛假和誤導性的陳述。

The filing states that Pivotal’s misstatements began after it experienced significant losses due to making risky investments in cryptocurrency and other assets.

該文件指出，關鍵的錯誤陳述始於由於對加密貨幣和其他資產的風險投資而造成的巨大損失。

In an attempt to recover the losses, Pivotal’s executives decided to misrepresent the value of the distressed debt portfolio to investors. The filing adds that the hedge fund also failed to disclose material facts about its investment strategy and risk management practices.

為了恢復損失，Pivotal的高管決定將陷入困境的債務投資組合的價值歪曲給投資者。該文件補充說，對沖基金也未能披露有關其投資策略和風險管理實踐的重大事實。

The case is still ongoing and more details may be released in the coming months.

該案仍在進行中，並且可能會在未來幾個月內發布更多細節。
