Federal prosecutors and regulators have charged a man accused of operating a massive cryptocurrency fraud scheme that reportedly swindled $200 million from 90,000 investors.

聯邦檢察官和監管機構已指控一名被指控經營一項大規模加密貨幣欺詐計劃的男子，據報導，該計劃從90,000名投資者中佔領了2億美元。

Ramil Palafox, a dual US and Philippines citizen, is alleged to have stolen over $57 million from January 2020 through October 2021.

拉米爾·帕拉福克斯（Ramil Palafox）是美國雙重和菲律賓公民，據稱從2020年1月到2021年10月，已經偷走了超過5700萬美元。

The Securities and Exchange Commission alleges Palafox (pictured above) induced investors with false representations that he had cryptocurrency knowledge and an AI-driven trading platform.

美國證券交易委員會指控Palafox（如上圖）誘使投資者俱有虛假表示，他具有加密貨幣知識和AI驅動的交易平台。

According to the SEC complaint, Palafox’s scheme, PGI Global, enticed new investors with the promise of 0.5% to 3% daily returns on Bitcoin (BTC) trading.

根據SEC投訴，Palafox的計劃PGI Global誘使了新的投資者，承諾比特幣（BTC）交易的每日收益為0.5％至3％。

However, the majority of investor funds were not used to purchase or sell Bitcoin as guaranteed but were diverted to settle previous investors and finance Palafox’s extravagant lifestyle.

但是，大多數投資者資金並未按照保證的方式購買或出售比特幣，而是被轉移到以前的投資者和Palafox奢侈的生活方式的資助。

The complaint indicates that if convicted, Palafox would forfeit more than $1 million in cash and a stunning fleet of 17 vehicles.

投訴表明，如果被定罪，Palafox將沒收超過100萬美元的現金和令人驚嘆的17輛汽車。

His fleet includes two Teslas, a Ferrari 458 Special, two Lamborghinis, and two Porsches.

他的艦隊包括兩個特斯拉，一個法拉利458特惠，兩個蘭博基尼和兩個保時捷。

Regulators disclosed Palafox held lavish recruitment parties in Dubai and Vegas where he paid members a bonus for recruiting new investors.

監管機構透露，帕拉福克斯（Palafox）在迪拜和拉斯維加斯舉行了豪華招聘方，在那裡他向會員支付了招募新投資者的獎金。

The investigators further listed several designer handbags, wallets, footwear, jewelry, and watches under assets linked to the suspected fraud.

調查人員進一步列出了幾個設計師手袋，錢包，鞋類，珠寶，以及與可疑欺詐有關的資產下的手錶。

The case is the first cryptocurrency-related enforcement action since the SEC’s new chairman, Paul Atkins, began his term on April 22.

此案是自美國證券交易委員會（SEC）新任主席保羅·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）於4月22日開始任期以來的第一個與加密貨幣有關的執法行動。

Atkins has been described as “crypto-friendly” in his regulatory approach.

在他的監管方法中，阿特金斯被描述為“對加密友好”。

The SEC is seeking several penalties against Palafox including a permanent injunction from selling securities and crypto assets, restitution of unlawful gains, and civil monetary fines.

SEC正在尋求對Palafox的幾項處罰，包括出售證券和加密資產的永久禁令，賠償非法收益以及民事貨幣罰款。

The move follows another recent crypto enforcement case against Nova Labs, concluded in April with a settlement and a $200,000 civil penalty following allegations of selling unregistered securities using Helium token mining hardware.

此舉是在最近針對Nova Labs的另一項加密執法案件之後，在4月結束時，達成和解和200,000美元的民事罰款，此前指控使用氦令牌採礦硬件出售未註冊的證券。
