Gotbit創始人Aleksei Andriunin與美國檢察官達成了認罪協議

Gotbit創始人Aleksei Andriunin週三與美國檢察官達成了一項認罪協議，這將使他在監獄後不超過24個月

Gotbit founder Aleksei Andriunin has struck a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors that will see him serve no more than 24 months behind bars for his role in what prosecutors described as a “wide-ranging conspiracy” to manipulate token prices for paying clients.

Gotbit創始人Aleksei Andriunin與美國檢察官達成了一項認罪協議，該協議將看到他在檢察官所說的“廣泛的陰謀”中的角色不超過24個月，以操縱代幣價格來支付客戶的費用。

Andriunin, a 26-year-old Russian national, was extradited to the U.S. last month and charged with two counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit market manipulation and wire fraud – charges which carry a maximum combined sentence of 25 years in prison. In exchange for a reduced sentence, Andriunin pleaded guilty to all three counts. He also agreed to forfeit approximately $23 million in stablecoins tied to his crimes. The government is not seeking any other fine.

安德里寧（Andriunin）是一名26歲的俄羅斯國民，上個月被引渡到美國，並被指控犯有兩項電匯欺詐和陰謀犯下市場操縱和電匯欺詐罪 - 指控最高判處25年監禁。為了換句話說，安德里寧對這三項罪名表示認罪。他還同意沒收與他的罪行有關的大約2300萬美元的穩定幣。政府沒有尋求其他罰款。

Andriunin’s sentencing hearing is set for Dec. 14.

Andriunin的判決聽證會定於12月14日。

In their indictment last October, prosecutors alleged that Gotbit was basically a market manipulator for hire, offering wash-trading services to paying crypto projects who wanted to artificially inflate the volume and price of their tokens. In return for these services, Gotbit charged a fee – an "integration" fee, in the company’s own words.

檢察官在去年10月的起訴書中聲稱，Gotbit基本上是租用的市場操縱者，為付費的加密項目提供了Wash交易的服務，這些項目希望人為地誇大其代幣的數量和價格。作為這些服務的回報，Gotbit收取了費用 - 用公司自己的話說的“集成”費用。

Andriunin’s guilty plea is not entirely surprising: he was never coy about Gotbit’s business activities. In a 2019 interview with CoinDesk, Andriunin – then a 20-year-old college sophomore at Moscow State University – admitted that his business was “not entirely ethical” and detailed how he used bot trading to create enough artificial trade volume for a project to be listed on CoinMarketCap.

Andriunin的有罪認罪並不完全令人驚訝：他從不對Gotbit的商業活動感到沮喪。在2019年接受Coindesk的採訪中，Andriunin（當時是20歲的莫斯科州立大學大二學生）承認，他的業務“並非完全是道德的”，並詳細介紹了他如何使用Bot Trading創建足夠的人工貿易量來為CoinMarksetCap上列出的項目。

Gotbit is not the only market maker offering these services. At the same time that Andriunin and his company were charged, along with two other employees, U.S. prosecutors charged a handful of other firms, including CLS Global, MyTrade and ZMQuant, as well as several of the companies’ employees and promoters, with similarly offering for-hire market manipulation services.

Gotbit並不是唯一提供這些服務的做市商。同時，Andriunin和他的公司與另外兩名員工一起起訴，美國檢察官收取了包括CLS Global，MyTrade和Zmquant在內的其他一些公司，以及幾家公司的員工和推銷員，並提供了類似的提供僱用的市場操縱服務。
