美國司法部（DOJ）指控德州一名比特幣投資者逃稅。這是第一起與加密貨幣相關的逃稅刑事訴訟。

A Texas Bitcoin investor has been charged with tax evasion by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), marking the first criminal prosecution for tax evasion linked to cryptocurrency.

德州一名比特幣投資者被美國司法部（DOJ）指控逃稅，這是首例與加密貨幣相關的逃稅刑事起訴。

Frank Richard Ahlgren III, who has been involved in Bitcoin since 2011, allegedly failed to report capital gains on roughly $4 million in Bitcoin.

弗蘭克理查德阿爾格倫三世 (Frank Richard Ahlgren III) 自 2011 年以來一直涉足比特幣領域，據稱他未能報告大約 400 萬美元比特幣的資本收益。

According to the investigation, Ahlgren purchased 1.366 Bitcoins in 2015 through Coinbase. At that time, Bitcoin’s price ranged from $495 to $5,807 per coin. By October 2017, Ahlgren had sold around 640 Bitcoins for $3.7 million.

調查顯示，Ahlgren 在 2015 年透過 Coinbase 購買了 1.366 枚比特幣。當時，比特幣的價格在每枚 495 美元到 5,807 美元之間。截至 2017 年 10 月，Ahlgren 已以 370 萬美元的價格出售了約 640 個比特幣。

However, when filing his 2017 federal tax return, Ahlgren lied to his accountant about his Bitcoin purchase prices. He inflated the prices to reduce his taxable gain and ultimately submitted a false return.

然而，在提交 2017 年聯邦稅申報表時，阿爾格倫向會計師謊報了他的比特幣購買價格。他抬高價格以減少應稅收益，並最終提交了虛假申報表。

Following the investigation, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Pitman sentenced Ahlgren to two years in prison for tax evasion. The judge also ordered Ahlgren to pay $1,095,031.

調查結束後，美國地方法院法官羅伯特皮特曼以逃稅罪判處阿爾格倫兩年監禁。法官還命令 Ahlgren 支付 1,095,031 美元。

Warnings from Authorities

當局的警告

Acting Special Agent in Charge Lucy Tan from IRS-Criminal Investigation stated that this case should serve as a warning to anyone attempting to evade taxes through crypto assets.

美國國稅局刑事調查局代理特別負責人 Lucy Tan 表示，此案應該對任何試圖透過加密資產逃稅的人發出警告。

“This case demonstrates that no one is above the law,” Tan said. “The DOJ and IRS are increasing our enforcement actions. People involved in crypto transactions must follow tax reporting rules to avoid criminal charges.”

譚說：“此案表明沒有人可以凌駕於法律之上。” 「司法部和國稅局正在加強我們的執法行動。參與加密貨幣交易的人必須遵守​​稅務報告規則，以避免刑事指控。

Other Bitcoin Tax Evasion Cases

其他比特幣逃稅案件

Earlier this year, another high-profile case involved Roger Ver, who is known as “Bitcoin Jesus,” facing tax evasion charges. He allegedly avoided over $48 million in taxes after selling $240 million worth of cryptocurrency.

今年早些時候，另一起備受矚目的案件涉及被稱為「比特幣耶穌」的羅傑·維爾 (Roger Ver)，他面臨逃稅指控。據稱，他在出售價值 2.4 億美元的加密貨幣後避稅超過 4,800 萬美元。

Ver’s case is particularly noteworthy due to the complexity arising from his renunciation of U.S. citizenship in 2014. He allegedly did this to bypass the “exit tax” requirement, highlighting the intersection of crypto holdings and international tax laws.

Ver 的案件尤其值得注意，因為他在2014 年放棄了美國公民身份，從而造成了複雜性。交叉。
