權道在美國面臨刑事指控

失敗的加密貨幣 TerraUSD 和 Luna 背後的韓國企業家 Do Kwon 將於週四在曼哈頓聯邦法院出庭

Do Kwon, the South Korean entrepreneur behind the failed cryptocurrencies TerraUSD and Luna, is set to appear in a Manhattan federal court on Thursday, facing serious criminal fraud charges.

失敗的加密貨幣 TerraUSD 和 Luna 背後的韓國企業家 Do Kwon 將於週四在曼哈頓聯邦法院出庭，面臨嚴重的刑事欺詐指控。

This follows his recent extradition from Montenegro, where he had been detained for over a year after attempting to use falsified travel documents at the country’s Podgorica airport.

此前，他最近從黑山被引渡，他因試圖在該國波德戈里察機場使用偽造的旅行證件而被拘留一年多。

Do Kwon Faces Criminal Charges In The US

權道在美國面臨刑事指控

Kwon’s legal troubles stem from the catastrophic collapse of his digital currencies in 2022, which resulted in an estimated loss of $40 billion for investors.

Kwon 的法律麻煩源於他的數位貨幣在 2022 年的災難性崩潰，導致投資者估計損失 400 億美元。

The SEC and the Manhattan US Attorney’s office allege that Kwon misled investors about the stability of TerraUSD, a stablecoin purported to maintain a value of $1. The failure of TerraUSD, along with its sister token Luna, triggered a broader downturn in the cryptocurrency market, impacting established digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC).

美國證券交易委員會和曼哈頓美國檢察官辦公室指控 Kwon 在 TerraUSD 的穩定性方面誤導了投資者，TerraUSD 是一種據稱能維持 1 美元價值的穩定幣。 TerraUSD 及其姊妹代幣 Luna 的失敗引發了加密貨幣市場更廣泛的低迷，影響了比特幣 (BTC) 等成熟的數位資產。

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have charged him with multiple counts, including securities fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud, and conspiracy. However, Do Kwon has consistently denied any wrongdoing, asserting that he acted transparently regarding the workings of his products.

曼哈頓的聯邦檢察官指控他多項罪名，包括證券詐欺、電匯詐欺、商品詐欺和共謀。然而，Do Kwon 一直否認有任何不當行為，聲稱他對其產品的運作採取透明的態度。

In a significant development last June, Kwon agreed to pay an $80 million civil fine to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as part of a $4.55 billion settlement related to his company, Terraform Labs.

去年 6 月的重大進展是，Kwon 同意向美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 支付 8,000 萬美元民事罰款，作為與其公司 Terraform Labs 相關的 45.5 億美元和解協議的一部分。

As part of the settlement, Do Kwon also accepted a ban on future cryptocurrency transactions. Despite this, Kwon’s legal challenges are far from over, as he faces the potential for criminal penalties in the US judicial system.

作為和解協議的一部分，Do Kwon 也接受了未來加密貨幣交易的禁令。儘管如此，權的法律挑戰還遠未結束，因為他可能在美國司法系統中面臨刑事處罰。

During a civil trial in April, a federal jury found Kwon and Terraform Labs liable for defrauding investors. Closing arguments from Terraform’s legal team contended that Kwon had been truthful about his products, even as they failed. However, Do Kwon was absent from the trial due to his detention in Montenegro.

在 4 月的民事審判中，聯邦陪審團裁定 Kwon 和 Terraform Labs 對欺詐投資者負有責任。 Terraform 法律團隊的結案陳詞認為，Kwon 對他的產品是誠實的，即使他們失敗了。然而，道權因被拘留在黑山而缺席審判。

A Critical Test For Cryptocurrency Regulation?

加密貨幣監理的關鍵考驗？

As Bitcoinist reported, Montenegro’s Minister of Justice, Bojan Božović, signed the extradition order for Kwon last week, rejecting South Korea’s request for his return. This decision came after a legal battle that involved extradition requests from both the US and South Korea for over a year.

根據 Bitcoinist 報道，黑山司法部長 Bojan Bozović 上週簽署了 Kwon 的引渡令，拒絕了韓國的引渡請求。這項決定是在美國和韓國的引渡請求經過一年多的法律鬥爭之後做出的。

Do Kwon joins a growing list of cryptocurrency executives facing legal repercussions following the market’s downturn in 2022.

隨著 2022 年市場低迷，Do Kwon 加入了越來越多面臨法律後果的加密貨幣高管行列。

Notable figures include Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the collapsed FTX exchange, who is currently appealing a 25-year sentence for defrauding customers, and Alex Mashinsky, former CEO of Celsius Network, who recently pleaded guilty to fraud charges.

值得注意的人物包括倒閉的FTX 交易所創始人Sam Bankman-Fried，他目前正在對因欺詐客戶而被判25 年的刑期提出上訴，以及攝氏度網絡前首席執行官Alex Mashinsky，他最近承認了欺詐指控。

As Kwon prepares for his court appearance, the outcome could have significant implications for the future of cryptocurrency regulation and investor protection.

當 Kwon 準備出庭時，結果可能會對加密貨幣監管和投資者保護的未來產生重大影響。

The courtroom drama is poised to draw considerable attention, not only due to Kwon’s high-profile status but also because of the broader impact his case may have on the rapidly digital currency landscape.

這場法庭戲劇預計會引起相當大的關注，不僅因為權力的高調地位，還因為他的案件可能對快速發展的數位貨幣格局產生更廣泛的影響。
