美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 尋求對 Terraform 實驗室和 Do Kwon 的加密貨幣詐欺行為實施巨額制裁

在針對 Terraform Labs 和 Do Kwon 的民事案件中，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 要求對 TerraUSD 和 Luna 涉嫌詐欺行為追繳約 52 億美元的非法所得和罰款。 SEC 提議禁止 Kwon 擔任行業領導職務，並對 Terraform 實施禁令，以遏制類似的不當行為。 Terraform 和 Kwon 建議降低民事罰款，Kwon 的建議金額為 80 萬美元。法院尚未就擬議的補救措施做出裁決。

SEC Seeks Billions in Sanctions Against Terraform Labs and Do Kwon for Crypto Fraud

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 尋求對 Terraform Lab 和 Do Kwon 實施加密貨幣欺詐數十億美元的製裁

New York, NY (April 19, 2023) - The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a motion requesting substantial disgorgement and civil penalties totaling billions of dollars against Terraform Labs and its co-founder, Do Kwon, following a jury verdict finding them liable for defrauding investors in a landmark crypto case.

紐約州紐約（2023 年 4 月 19 日）—美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 經陪審團提出動議，要求對 Terraform Labs 及其聯合創始人 Do Kwon 進行總計數十億美元的巨額歸還和民事處罰判決認定他們在具有里程碑意義的加密案件中欺騙投資者。

In a comprehensive filing submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the SEC seeks approximately $4.7 billion in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, as well as a combined $520 million in civil penalties against Terraform and Kwon. The specific amounts include $420 million from Terraform and $100 million from Kwon.

在提交給美國紐約南區地方法院的一份綜合文件中，SEC 尋求對 Terraform 和 Kwon 徵收約 47 億美元的非法所得和預判利息，以及總計 5.2 億美元的民事罰款。具體金額包括 Terraform 的 4.2 億美元和 Kwon 的 1 億美元。

This significant financial judgment comes after a civil trial in which the jury unanimously concluded that Terraform and Kwon engaged in deceptive and fraudulent conduct related to the offering and sale of the TerraUSD (UST), Luna (LUNA), and wrapped Luna (wLUNA) crypto assets.

這項重大財務判決是在民事審判之後做出的，陪審團一致得出結論，Terraform 和Kwon 參與了與TerraUSD (UST)、Luna (LUNA) 和包裝Luna (wLUNA) 加密貨幣的發行和銷售相關的欺騙和欺詐行為資產。

In its filing, the SEC details extensive evidence presented during the trial, highlighting the defendants' misrepresentations about the stability and value of UST and their failure to disclose material information to investors. The agency argues that these actions constitute clear violations of federal securities laws.

SEC 在其文件中詳細介紹了審判期間提供的大量證據，強調被告對 UST 穩定性和價值的虛假陳述以及他們未能向投資者披露重大資訊。該機構認為，這些行為明顯違反了聯邦證券法。

Beyond the monetary sanctions, the SEC proposes imposing severe restrictions on Kwon and Terraform's future activities. The commission seeks to permanently enjoin Kwon from serving as an officer or director of any securities issuer and requires him to provide complete details of his accounts and assets.

除了金錢制裁之外，美國證券交易委員會還提議對 Kwon 和 Terraform 的未來活動實施嚴格限制。該委員會尋求永久禁止權擔任任何證券發行人的高級職員或董事，並要求他提供其帳戶和資產的完整詳細資訊。

Terraform, if the motion is approved, would be subject to a "conduct-based injunction" prohibiting the company from engaging in similar fraudulent practices that led to the massive fraud. The proposed remedies and civil judgment are subject to the court's approval.

如果該動議獲得批准，Terraform 將受到「基於行為的禁令」的約束，禁止該公司從事導致大規模詐欺的類似詐欺行為。擬議的補救措施和民事判決須經法院批准。

"The defendants have shown no remorse for their actions, and it is clear that they pose a significant risk of continuing to engage in violations," the SEC filing states. "The court must send a clear message that this type of brazen misconduct and the defendants' attempts to justify their behavior will not be tolerated."

美國證券交易委員會的文件稱：“被告對自己的行為沒有表現出悔意，很明顯，他們構成了繼續違法行為的重大風險。” “法院必須發出明確的信息，即這種明目張膽的不當行為以及被告試圖為自己的行為辯護的行為是不會被容忍的。”

The SEC's aggressive pursuit of sanctions reflects the seriousness with which the agency views the Terraform case and its determination to hold accountable those responsible for defrauding investors.

美國證券交易委員會積極尋求制裁，反映出該機構對 Terraform 案件的嚴肅態度，以及追究欺詐投資者責任人責任的決心。

The trial proceeded without Kwon's presence. Kwon, who was arrested in Montenegro in March 2023 for using falsified travel documents, remains embroiled in legal proceedings in that country. The question of his extradition to either the U.S. or South Korea, where he also faces criminal charges, is still pending.

審判在權先生不在場的情況下進行。權於 2023 年 3 月因使用偽造旅行證件在黑山被捕，目前仍在該國捲入法律訴訟。將他引渡到美國或韓國的問題仍懸而未決，他在韓國也面臨刑事指控。

Terraform Labs, through a spokesperson, has indicated that it is carefully considering its options in response to the SEC's filing. Cointelegraph reached out to Terraform for comment on the latest developments, but a response was not received by the time of publication.

Terraform Labs 透過發言人表示，它正在仔細考慮其選擇，以回應 SEC 的備案。 Cointelegraph 聯繫 Terraform 徵求對最新進展的評論，但截至發稿時尚未收到回應。

The SEC's actions are a significant step in the aftermath of the Terraform Labs scandal, which caused billions of dollars in losses for investors and raised concerns about the regulation of the crypto industry. The outcome of the civil case and the ongoing criminal proceedings against Kwon will continue to shape the legal landscape for cryptocurrencies and the expectations for companies operating in this space.

SEC 的行動是 Terraform Labs 醜聞發生後邁出的重要一步，該醜聞給投資者造成了數十億美元的損失，並引發了人們對加密行業監管的擔憂。民事案件的結果和正在進行的針對 Kwon 的刑事訴訟將繼續影響加密貨幣的法律格局以及對該領域運營公司的期望。
