Logan Paul 被指控在加密貨幣認可方面誤導 YouTube 觀眾

洛根·保羅 (Logan Paul) 是社交媒體領域最著名的人物之一，擁有超過 2300 萬 YouTube 訂閱者，他再次成為爭議的焦點。

Social media star Logan Paul is once again facing fresh allegations, this time regarding his cryptocurrency endorsements.

社群媒體明星洛根保羅再次面臨新的指控，這次是關於他的加密貨幣背書。

A report by the BBC on Wednesday, based on new evidence, alleges that Paul promoted crypto investments without disclosing his financial involvement in them. This raises questions about the transparency and ethics of his practices as an influencer.

英國廣播公司 (BBC) 週三根據新證據發布的一份報告稱，保羅在未披露其財務參與情況的情況下推動了加密貨幣投資。這引發了人們對他作為影響者的做法的透明度和道德的質疑。

The claims against Paul suggest that he engaged in a “pump and dump” scheme, where he allegedly encouraged the promotion of certain cryptocurrencies to artificially inflate their value. This would have allowed him to sell off his holdings at inflated prices, potentially profiting at the expense of other investors.

針對保羅的指控表明，他參與了「拉高拋售」計劃，據稱他鼓勵推廣某些加密貨幣，人為地抬高其價值。這將使他能夠以高價出售所持股份，從而有可能以犧牲其他投資者的利益為代價獲利。

According to the BBC, Paul's endorsements are said to have driven price surges, allowing him to benefit financially from the increased value of tokens, leaving other investors at a disadvantage when prices plummeted.

根據英國廣播公司報道，據說保羅的背書推動了價格飆升，使他能夠從代幣價值的增加中獲得經濟利益，而當價格暴跌時，其他投資者則處於不利地位。

This isn't the first time Paul has been embroiled in a crypto-related dispute. The YouTube star is currently facing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit over his failed crypto venture CryptoZoo.

這並不是保羅第一次捲入與加密貨幣相關的爭議。這位 YouTube 明星目前正因其失敗的加密貨幣企業 CryptoZoo 面臨數百萬美元的訴訟。

The project, which promised rewards for users investing in digital assets, was criticized for its poor execution, leading to significant losses for investors. Despite the growing accusations, Paul has denied any wrongdoing.

該項目承諾為投資數位資產的用戶提供獎勵，但因執行不力而受到批評，導致投資者遭受重大損失。儘管指控越來越多，保羅否認有任何不當行為。

Paul is among a growing list of celebrities facing backlash over crypto investments. Earlier this year, Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner was named in a class-action lawsuit by disgruntled investors who claimed she misled them into buying a failing crypto token called JENNER.

保羅是越來越多因加密投資而面臨強烈反對的名人之一。今年早些時候，奧運金牌得主凱特琳詹納 (Caitlyn Jenner) 被心懷不滿的投資者提起集體訴訟，他們聲稱她誤導他們購買了一種名為 JENNER 的失敗加密代幣。

The lawsuit, filed in California federal court, accuses Jenner and her manager, Sophia Hutchins, of fraudulently promoting JENNER as an unregistered security.

該訴訟向加州聯邦法院提起，指控詹納和她的經理索菲亞·哈欽斯（Sophia Hutchins）欺詐性地將詹納推銷為未註冊的證券。

Similarly, singer and dancer Jason Derulo has faced allegations related to a “pump and dump” scheme after his token, $JASON, saw a staggering 6,000% surge on June 23, 2024, only to crash the following day. Despite the volatility, $JASON reached a market cap of $5 million before plummeting.

同樣，歌手兼舞者 Jason Derulo 也面臨與“拉高拋售”計劃相關的指控，因為他的代幣 $JASON 在 2024 年 6 月 23 日飆升了 6,000%，但第二天就崩盤了。儘管存在波動，$JASON 的市值在暴跌之前仍達到了 500 萬美元。

In 2023, eight celebrities, including Jake Paul and Lindsay Lohan, were charged by US regulators for allegedly participating in a crypto scam. They were accused of using their platforms to artificially boost two crypto tokens without disclosing that they were paid to promote them.

2023 年，包括傑克保羅 (Jake Paul) 和林賽羅韓 (Lindsay Lohan) 在內的八名名人因涉嫌參與加密貨幣詐騙而被美國監管機構指控。他們被指控利用自己的平台人為地提升兩種加密代幣的價格，但沒有透露他們是為了推廣這些代幣而獲得報酬的。

High-profile celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Floyd Mayweather have also been at the center of crypto controversies. In 2022, a group of bereaved investors who lost their money after investing in the project filed a class action suit against the duo in the US District Court for the Central District of California.

金卡戴珊 (Kim Kardashian) 和弗洛伊德梅威瑟 (Floyd Mayweather) 等知名名人也一直處於加密貨幣爭議的中心。 2022年，一群在投資該項目後遭受損失的失去親人的投資者向美國加州中區地方法院對兩人提起集體訴訟。

Although the lawsuit was later dismissed, Kardashian faced another legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The case was eventually settled with Kardashian paying up to $1.26 million in penalties and fees.

儘管訴訟後來被駁回，但卡戴珊面臨與美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的另一場法律訴訟。該案最終以卡戴珊支付高達 126 萬美元的罰款和費用達成和解。
