NFT Trader面臨最高6年的監禁，以1300萬美元的稅收逃稅

韋倫·威爾科克斯（Waylon Wilcox）是一位45歲的NFT交易員，在認罪後，在聯邦監獄中面臨長達六年的監獄面臨，從而低估了交易高價值的Cryptopunks NFTS的近1300萬美元的利潤。

A deep-set involvement in the world of NFTs has landed an NFT trader in hot water with the law, leading to a plea bargain that could see him face up to six years in prison and hefty fines.

在NFTS世界上進行了深入的參與，已與法律一起在熱水中找到了NFT商人，導致了辯訴交易，可以看到他面臨最高六年的監禁和高額罰款。

45-year-old Waylon Wilcox has admitted to evading nearly $13 million in income taxes over a two-year period, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The charges stem from Wilcox’s involvement in trading high-value CryptoPunks NFTs, one of the most valuable NFT collections with a market cap of $687 million.

根據賓夕法尼亞州中部檢察官辦公室的說法，45歲的Waylon Wilcox已承認在兩年內逃避了近1300萬美元的所得稅。這些指控源於威爾科克斯（Wilcox）參與交易高價值Cryptopunks NFTS，這是最有價值的NFT收藏之一，市值為6.87億美元。

In April 2022, Wilcox filed a false tax return for 2021, claiming significantly less than his actual income. He underreported his income by $8.5 million and reduced his tax liability by approximately $2.1 million. The following year, he committed the same offense, this time underreporting an additional $4.6 million in income and dodging another $1.1 million in taxes.

2022年4月，威爾科克斯（Wilcox）於2021年提交了虛假的納稅申報表，聲稱其實際收入大大少得多。他將收入減少了850萬美元，並將其納稅責任減少了約210萬美元。次年，他犯了同樣的罪行，這次報導了額外的460萬美元收入，並避免了110萬美元的稅款。

The combined charges could land Wilcox with:

合併的指控可以通過：

• Five years of imprisonment and a maximum $250,000 fine for each count of filing a false return.

•五年監禁和最高$ 250,000的罰款，每項提交虛假申報表。

• One year of imprisonment and a maximum $100,000 fine for each count of failing to pay income tax.

•一年的監禁和最高$ 100,000的罰款，每項不繳納所得稅。

Wilcox is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge John R. Williams on January 9, 2024.

威爾科克斯計劃於2024年1月9日由美國地方法院法官約翰·威廉姆斯（John R. Williams）判刑。

“The IRS Criminal Investigation unit is committed to uncovering complex schemes using digital assets and NFTs to hide taxable income,” said Special Agent Yury Kruty of the IRS Philadelphia Field Office. “Tax evaders should be aware that no matter how sophisticated the attempt, our investigators are dedicated to holding violators accountable for their actions.”

“國稅局刑事調查部門致力於使用數字資產和NFT揭示複雜的計劃，以隱藏應稅收入，”費城國稅局（IRS Philadelphia Field Office）的特工尤里·克魯蒂（Yury Kruty）說。 “逃稅者應該意識到，無論嘗試多麼複雜，我們的調查人員都致力於使違規者對其行為負責。”

The case is part of the IRS’s expanded effort to tighten crypto tax enforcement, especially after new 2024 regulations began requiring third-party reporting for crypto exchanges.

該案是美國國稅局（IRS）擴大努力以加強加密稅務執行的一部分，尤其是在2024年新法規開始要求加密交易所報告的第三方報告之後。

As the dust settles on the Trump administration's final acts, a surprising move has come to light: overturning a Biden-era IRS rule that would have imposed tax reporting obligations on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.

隨著特朗普政府最終行動的塵埃落定，令人驚訝的舉動已經揭示：推翻了拜登時代的IRS規則，該規則本來可以對分散財務（DEFI）平台施加稅收報告義務。

The original rule, set to take effect in 2027, was widely criticized as overly broad, prompting bipartisan support for its cancellation. A joint resolution to that effect passed both the House and Senate with overwhelming majorities, finally reaching President Donald Trump's desk for signature.

原定於2027年生效的原始規則被廣泛批評為過於廣泛，促使兩黨支持其取消。這一影響的共同決議通過了眾議院和參議院的絕大多數，最後到達唐納德·特朗普總統的辦公桌以簽名。

The rule, which fell under Section 12 of the Administrative Procedures Act, aimed to require third-party reporters, such as DeFi platforms and mixers, to collect and report some types of taxpayer data to the IRS. It was part of a broader effort by the Biden administration to increase tax collection from digital assets.

根據《行政程序法》第12條的規則，旨在要求第三方記者（例如Defi平台和混音器）向IRS收集和報告某些類型的納稅人數據。拜登政府為增加數字資產的稅收收集而更廣泛地努力。

However, critics argued that the rule was poorly defined and could create significant compliance burdens for DeFi platforms, many of which are foreign-based and not subject to U.S. tax laws. They also expressed concern that it could be used to monitor and track the transactions of individual crypto users, violating their privacy rights.

但是，批評家認為，該規則的定義很差，可能會給Defi平台帶來巨大的合規負擔，其中許多平台是外國的，不受美國稅法的約束。他們還表示關注，可以用來監視和跟踪單個加密使用者的交易，侵犯其隱私權。

"This is a clear victory for crypto privacy and limited government," said Steve An, a legal expert at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in blockchain and cryptocurrency. "The rule was overly broad and would have had a chilling effect on innovation in the DeFi space."

加利福尼亞大學伯克利分校的法律專家史蒂夫（Steve An）說：“這是加密隱私和有限政府的明顯勝利。” “該規則過於廣泛，會對在Defi空間中的創新產生令人恐懼的影響。”

As crypto regulation heats up, some experts believe that stablecoin legislation and crypto banking reforms should come before new tax policies.

隨著加密法規的加劇，一些專家認為，穩定的立法和加密銀行改革應該在新的稅收政策之前進行。

"We need to see more targeted and efficient regulatory frameworks rather than these large-scale, blanket rules," An added.

一個補充說：“我們需要看到更多有針對性，有效的監管框架，而不是這些大規模的毯子規則。”

This resolution marks one of the final acts of the Trump administration as it winds down, setting the stage for the Biden administration to continue its own agenda in the coming years.

該決議標誌著特朗普政府陷入困境的最終行為之一，為拜登政府在未來幾年中繼續自己的議程奠定了基礎。
