Taiwan Prosecutors Seek Extended Prison Sentences for Suspects in ACE Exchange Fraud and Money Laundering Case

台灣檢方尋求延長 ACE 交易所詐欺和洗錢案嫌疑人的刑期

Taipei, Taiwan - Prosecutors in Taiwan have recommended a minimum 20-year prison sentence for the four principal suspects involved in a large-scale fraud and money laundering scheme related to the cryptocurrency trading platform ACE Exchange.

台灣台北 - 台灣檢察官建議對參與與加密貨幣交易平台 ACE Exchange 相關的大規模詐欺和洗錢計劃的四名主要嫌疑人判處至少 20 年監禁。

The indictments, filed by the Taipei District Prosecutors' Office, target 32 individuals on charges of fraud and money laundering. The key figures implicated include ACE Exchange founder David Pan, his business associate Lin Keng-hong, and renowned attorney Wang Chen-huan, who held the position of chairman of the exchange.

台北地檢署針對 32 名個人提起詐欺和洗錢指控。牽涉的關鍵人物包括ACE交易所創辦人潘大偉、其商業夥伴林景宏，以及擔任交易所董事長的著名律師王振煥。

Over 1,200 individuals are alleged to have fallen victim to the scheme, resulting in an estimated financial loss of 800 million New Taiwan dollars (approximately $24.56 million). This represents a significant increase from the previously estimated loss of 340 million New Taiwan dollars ($10.6 million) and is said to justify the severity of the recommended sentences.

據稱有超過 1,200 人成為該計劃的受害者，估計造成 8 億新台幣（約 2,456 萬美元）的經濟損失。這比先前估計的 3.4 億新台幣（1,060 萬美元）損失大幅增加，據說證明了建議判處的嚴厲刑罰是合理的。

Prosecutors have further suggested a minimum sentence of 12 years for Wang, citing his position as a director of a prominent law firm and his alleged facilitation of the fraudulent activities.

檢察官進一步建議對王至少判處 12 年徒刑，理由是他擔任著名律師事務所的董事，並涉嫌協助詐欺活動。

In January 2024, Taipei City police detained Pan and 14 other individuals associated with the case, executing search warrants at various locations, including ACE's headquarters. The investigation uncovered Pan's involvement with the fraudulent cryptocurrency wallet service known as "Alfred" or "Afu wallet," as well as a corresponding crypto card.

2024 年 1 月，台北市警方在包括 ACE 總部在內的多個地點執行搜索令，拘留了潘和其他 14 名與此案有關的人員。調查發現潘參與了名為“Alfred”或“Afu wallet”的欺詐性加密貨幣錢包服務以及相應的加密卡。

According to the prosecution's findings, from 2019 onwards, the suspects fraudulently promoted investments in NFTC tokens, bitnature coins, mochange (an ACE Exchange token), and other digital assets. White papers and promotional materials were used to establish credibility and lure investors.

根據檢方調查結果，2019年起，犯罪嫌疑人以詐欺方式推銷NFTC代幣、bitnature幣、mochange（ACE交易所代幣）等數位資產的投資。白皮書和宣傳材料被用來建立信譽並吸引投資者。

During the promotional campaign, Pan and Lin sought to establish ACE Exchange as Asia's most comprehensive blockchain ecosystem for cryptocurrency trading. However, many investors experienced a substantial decline in the value of the tokens and were unable to convert them back into New Taiwan dollars as promised. The ensuing complaints prompted a legal investigation.

在推廣活動中，Pan 和 Lin 尋求將 ACE Exchange 打造為亞洲最全面的加密貨幣交易區塊鏈生態系統。然而，許多投資者經歷了代幣價值的大幅下跌，無法按照承諾將其兌換回新台幣。隨後的投訴引發了法律調查。

A Taiwanese court has reportedly authorized the seizure of the defendants' assets, with confiscated funds amounting to at least 3.5 million New Taiwan dollars ($110,000).

據報道，台灣一家法院已授權扣押被告的資產，沒收資金至少達 350 萬新台幣（11 萬美元）。

In response to the indictments, Ace Exchange released a statement on April 8, reiterating that Pan's fraudulent activities were not associated with the platform and that he had ceased his involvement in its daily operations in 2022.

針對起訴書，Ace Exchange 於 4 月 8 日發布聲明，重申潘的詐欺活動與該平台無關，並且他已於 2022 年停止參與該平台的日常運作。

Ace Exchange is a relatively obscure centralized cryptocurrency exchange based in Taiwan. According to CoinMarketCap, the platform was established in late 2018 and currently facilitates daily trading volumes of approximately $14 million. Data from Traders Union classifies Ace Exchange as a "high-risk cryptocurrency exchange" with a trust score of 2.78 out of 10.

Ace Exchange 是一家相對默默無聞的集中式加密貨幣交易所，總部位於台灣。據 CoinMarketCap 稱，該平台成立於 2018 年底，目前每日交易量約為 1,400 萬美元。 Traders Union 的數據將 Ace Exchange 歸類為“高風險加密貨幣交易所”，信任評分為 2.78（滿分 10）。

Taiwanese authorities continue to monitor global trends and regulations in the cryptocurrency market. In September, a report indicated that Taiwanese officials were considering introducing laws governing digital currencies.

台灣當局持續監控加密貨幣市場的全球趨勢和法規。 9 月的報告顯示，台灣官員正在考慮推出管理數位貨幣的法律。
