Terraform Labs 前執行長 Do Kwon 駁斥了針對他的詐欺指控，因為他在與該公司倒閉相關的 400 億美元損失中所扮演的角色

Terraform Labs former CEO Do Kwon has refuted the fraud allegations against him for his role in the $40 billion losses related to the collapse of the company’s cryptocurrencies. The crypto mogul was finally extradited to the US on Dec. 31 and will face the weight of the US justice system.

Terraform Labs 前執行長 Do Kwon 駁斥了針對他的詐欺指控，因為他在與該公司加密貨幣崩潰相關的 400 億美元損失中所扮演的角色。這位加密貨幣大亨最終於 12 月 31 日被引渡到美國，並將面臨美國司法系統的審判。

“As we allege, this fraud and the crash of Terraform’s cryptocurrencies in May 2022 erased over $40 billion in investor assets, causing devastating losses to countless investors in the United States and around the world. Kwon will now face justice in a federal courtroom in Manhattan,” said Daniel M. Gitner, Attorney for the United States for the New York Southern District.

「正如我們所指控的，這項詐欺行為以及 Terraform 加密貨幣在 2022 年 5 月的崩盤使投資者損失了超過 400 億美元的資產，給美國和世界各地的無數投資者造成了毀滅性的損失。紐約南區美國檢察官丹尼爾·M·吉特納 (Daniel M. Gitner) 表示，權力現在將在曼哈頓的聯邦法庭接受審判。

After many back-and-forths between Montenegrin, US, and South Korean authorities over which jurisdiction would handle his fraud case, Montenegro eventually greenlit his deportation to the US. Despite being citizens of both countries, Kwon seemingly leaned towards a South Korean extradition which would afford him potentially less severe penalties.

經過黑山、美國和韓國當局就哪個司法管轄區處理他的詐欺案進行多次反覆後，黑山最終批准將他驅逐到美國。儘管是兩國公民，權似乎傾向於韓國引渡，這將使他受到可能不那麼嚴厲的處罰。

Shortly after his arrest in Montenegro in 2023 for trying to use a fake passport to travel to Dubai, Kwon was initially indicted of eight counts of fraud by US prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.

2023 年，權因試圖使用假護照前往杜拜而在黑山被捕後不久，他最初被紐約南區的美國檢察官起訴八項詐欺罪。

Upon his arrival to the US, the 33-year-old made his first court appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger of the Southern District of New York and has allegedly pleaded not guilty to the fraudulent offenses he’s charged with.

抵達美國後，這位 33 歲的男子首次在紐約南區美國治安法官羅伯特·W·萊爾伯格 (Robert W. Lehrburger) 面前出庭，據稱他對被指控的欺詐罪表示不認罪。

The charges include two counts of commodities fraud, two counts of securities fraud, two counts of wire fraud, two counts of conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, securities, and wire fraud, and one count of money laundering conspiracy. For all these offenses, Kwon could spend a total of 130 years behind bars, if convicted.

這些指控包括兩項商品詐欺罪、兩項證券詐欺罪、兩項電匯詐欺罪、兩項共謀實施商品詐欺、證券和電匯詐欺罪，以及一項共謀洗錢罪。對於所有這些罪行，如果罪名成立，權可能會在監獄裡總共度過 130 年的牢獄生涯。

A superseding indictment by the Federal Prosecutors alleges that “From at least in or about 2018, up to and including in or about 2022, DO HYEONG KWON, the defendant, orchestrated schemes to defraud purchasers of cryptocurrencies created and issued by a company that he co-founded called Tenaform.”

聯邦檢察官的替代起訴書稱，「至少在2018 年左右，一直到2022 年左右，被告DO HYEONG KWON 精心策劃了計劃，欺騙購買由他與他合作的公司創建和發行的加密貨幣的購買者。

Authorities discovered that Kwon’s financial ecosystem was built on the manipulation and deception of investors, business partners, and regulators about Terraform Labs’ state and operations. While other parties saw a thriving enterprise replete with investment opportunities, Kwon knew all along that the Terraform products fell short of his advertised expectations.

當局發現，Kwon 的金融生態系統是建立在對投資者、業務合作夥伴和監管機構有關 Terraform Labs 狀態和營運的操縱和欺騙之上的。當其他人看到一個蓬勃發展的企業充滿投資機會時，Kwon 一直知道 Terraform 產品沒有達到他宣傳的期望。

The lawsuit highlighted five major misrepresentations the crypto mogul made to facilitate his fraudulent scheme and lure in investors. The case against Kwon is now under Judge John P. Cronan of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York and the defendant will face the judge on Jan 8 for an initial conference.

該訴訟強調了這位加密貨幣大亨為促進其詐欺計劃和吸引投資者而做出的五項重大不實陳述。針對 Kwon 的案件目前由美國紐約南區地方法院法官 John P. Cronan 審理，被告將於 1 月 8 日與法官舉行初步會議。
