OneCoin 員工因涉嫌銀行詐欺在紐約被捕

在正在進行的維卡幣詐欺調查中，威廉莫羅 (William Morro) 被捕並被指控串謀實施銀行詐欺。檢察官指控莫羅將資金轉移到香港和美國的帳戶，同時隱藏資金來源，掩蓋了與 OneCoin 有關的 3500 萬美元的來源。這項最新逮捕行動是在維卡幣負責人 Karl Greenwood 和 Irina Dilkinska 先前被定罪以及對逃亡加密貨幣女王 Ruja Ignatova 的持續搜捕之後進行的。

OneCoin Associate Arrested in New York for Bank Fraud Conspiracy

OneCoin 員工因串謀銀行詐欺在紐約被捕

New York, NY - Federal prosecutors have arrested William Morro, an individual allegedly involved in a scheme to conceal the illicit origins of funds connected to the OneCoin cryptocurrency.

紐約州紐約 - 聯邦檢察官逮捕了 William Morro，此人涉嫌參與隱瞞維卡幣加密貨幣資金非法來源的計劃。

According to court documents filed in the Southern District of New York, Morro is accused of participating in a conspiracy to deceive banks about the source of OneCoin funds. Prosecutors allege that Morro facilitated the transfer of approximately $35 million in OneCoin-related funds to a bank account in Hong Kong and an additional $6 million to an account in the United States.

根據紐約南區提交的法庭文件，莫羅被指控參與陰謀，在維卡幣資金來源問題上欺騙銀行。檢察官指控莫羅協助將約 3,500 萬美元的維卡幣相關資金轉移至香港的銀行帳戶，並將另外 600 萬美元轉移至美國的一個帳戶。

In a statement accompanying the filing, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams stated that Morro "received funds connected to 'OneCoin' into bank accounts that he controlled in China and caused a portion of those proceeds to be transferred to other accounts, including to a bank account held at a bank in the United States." Williams further alleged that Morro "did not disclose, among other things, that the funds were derived from 'One Coin.'"

在提交文件隨附的聲明中，美國檢察官達米安威廉斯(Damian Williams) 表示，莫羅「將與『維卡幣』相關的資金存入他在中國控制的銀行帳戶，並導致部分收益被轉移到其他帳戶，包括轉移到持有的銀行帳戶。威廉斯進一步聲稱，莫羅「除此之外，沒有透露這些資金來自『One Coin』」。

As a result of his actions, Morro has been charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud. The defendant waived his right to an indictment, agreeing to proceed with the case based on an information, a less formal charging document.

由於其行為，莫羅被指控串謀實施銀行詐欺。被告放棄了起訴權，同意根據一份資訊（一份不太正式的指控文件）繼續審理此案。

OneCoin's History of Fraud and Illicit Activity

OneCoin 的詐欺和非法活動歷史

OneCoin, founded in 2014 by Karl Sebastian Greenwood and Ruja Ignatova, has a long history of fraudulent practices and illegal activities. Greenwood was arrested in Thailand in 2018 on charges of fraud and money laundering and later extradited to the United States. Last year, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $300 million.

OneCoin 由 Karl Sebastian Greenwood 和 Ruja Ignatova 於 2014 年創立，有著悠久的詐欺行為和非法活動歷史。格林伍德於 2018 年因欺詐和洗錢罪名在泰國被捕，後來被引渡到美國。去年，他被判處20年監禁併罰款3億美元。

Ignatova, known as the "Crypto Queen," has also been charged with fraud and money laundering but has remained at large since 2017 when she reportedly fled to Greece. In June 2022, she was added to the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted List.

被稱為「加密貨幣女王」的伊格納托娃也被指控犯有欺詐和洗錢罪，但自 2017 年據報道逃往希臘以來一直在逃。 2022年6月，她被列入聯邦調查局十大通緝名單。

Prosecutors allege that OneCoin used a global multi-level marketing network to promote its cryptocurrency, which contributed to its rapid growth. However, the cryptocurrency itself was allegedly worthless, and Greenwood and Ignatova are accused of misleading investors by comparing OneCoin to Bitcoin and other established cryptocurrencies.

檢察官指控維卡幣利用全球多層次傳銷網路來推廣其加密貨幣，從而促進了其快速成長。然而，據稱這種加密貨幣本身毫無價值，格林伍德和伊格納托娃被指控通過將維卡幣與比特幣和其他成熟的加密貨幣進行比較來誤導投資者。

In recent months, other individuals involved in OneCoin have faced legal consequences. Irina Dilkinska, the former head of legal and compliance for the project, was sentenced to four years in prison for her role in the scheme.

近幾個月來，其他參與維卡幣的個人也面臨法律後果。該項目前法律與合規負責人伊琳娜·迪爾金斯卡 (Irina Dilkinska) 因其參與該計劃而被判處四年監禁。

The arrest of William Morro is another significant step in the ongoing effort to hold those responsible for the OneCoin fraud accountable and recover lost funds for victims.

威廉·莫羅的被捕是追究維卡幣欺詐責任人和為受害者追回損失資金的持續努力的另一個重要步驟。
