梅嫩德斯的宣判定於 10 月 29 日進行,他可能面臨數十年的監禁。
A U.S. senator who once called bitcoin (BTC) "an ideal choice for criminals" has now been convicted of accepting bribes, including gold bars and a luxury car, in exchange for his political clout.
一位曾經稱比特幣(BTC)為「犯罪分子的理想選擇」的美國參議員現在被判收受賄賂,包括金條和一輛豪華汽車,以換取他的政治影響力。
A jury found Democratic Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey guilty on Tuesday of accepting the bribes from a wealthy donor and close friend, Salomon Melgen, over a seven-year period, according to a report by Reuters.
根據路透社報道,週二,陪審團裁定新澤西州民主黨參議員鮑勃·梅嫩德斯(Bob Menendez) 罪名成立,罪名是在七年的時間裡收受富有的捐助者兼親密朋友所羅門·梅爾根(Salomon Melgen) 的賄賂。
Menendez, a staunch crypto critic, was also a co-sponsor of a bill titled the "Accountability for Cryptocurrency in El Salvador (ACES) Act." The bill would have required the State Department to report on mitigating risks to the U.S. financial system from El Salvador's adoption of bitcoin as legal tender.
梅嫩德斯是一位堅定的加密貨幣批評家,也是一項名為「薩爾瓦多加密貨幣問責制 (ACES) 法案」的法案的共同發起人。該法案將要求國務院報告薩爾瓦多採用比特幣作為法定貨幣對美國金融體系帶來的風險的緩和情況。
The senator's conviction sparked reactions from the crypto community, with some members highlighting the irony of the situation.
這位參議員的定罪引發了加密貨幣社區的反應,一些成員強調了這種情況的諷刺性。
"While Senator Menendez was hiding bars of ill-gotten gold ... President Bukele was establishing the most transparent government in the world by posting El Salvador’s public bitcoin address for all the world to audit," wrote Stacy Herbert, a member of The National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) of El Salvador under President Nayib Bukele, in an op-ed for X.
國家黨成員史黛西·赫伯特(Stacy Herbert) 寫道:「當梅嫩德斯參議員藏匿不義之財時…布克萊總統正在透過發布薩爾瓦多的公共比特幣地址供全世界審計來建立世界上最透明的政府。
"The malign actor was Bob Menendez. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which Menendez chairs, owes President Bukele and El Salvador an apology," Herbert added.
「惡意演員是鮑勃梅嫩德斯。梅嫩德斯擔任主席的參議院外交關係委員會欠布克萊總統和薩爾瓦多道歉,」赫伯特補充道。
Menendez, who is the first sitting member of Congress to be convicted of acting as a foreign agent, maintained his innocence after the verdict.
梅嫩德斯是第一位因充當外國代理人而被定罪的現任國會議員,判決後堅稱自己無罪。
"I have never been anything but a patriot of my country and for my country. I have never, ever been a foreign agent," Menendez said outside the courthouse.
「我從來都是我的國家和我的國家的愛國者。我從來都不是外國特工,」梅南德斯在法院外說道。
"This wasn’t politics as usual; this was politics for profit," said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams in a statement. "Because Senator Menendez has now been found guilty, his years of selling his office to the highest bidder have finally come to an end."
美國檢察官達米安威廉斯在一份聲明中表示:“這不是通常的政治;這是為了利潤的政治。” “由於梅南德斯參議員現在被判有罪,他多年將辦公室賣給最高出價者的做法終於結束了。”
Menendez has been a congressperson since 1993, entering the Senate in 2006. Despite numerous calls from senior colleagues to resign, including Democratic Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer, Menendez has refused to do so.
梅南德斯自1993 年以來一直擔任國會議員,並於2006 年進入參議院。 。
Menendez's sentencing has been scheduled for October 29. He could face decades in prison.
梅嫩德斯的宣判定於 10 月 29 日進行。
