TruthLabs 指控以太坊聯合創始人 Vitalik Buterin 在以太坊 ICO 期間從 Ross Ulbricht 的絲綢之路錢包中沒收的比特幣中獲利

這些指控是在 Buterin 和 Ulbricht 於 2025 年 1 月 19 日進行線上交流後出現的。

Blockhain investigative analyst TruthLabs has accused Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin of benefiting from Bitcoin seized from Ross Ulbricht’s Silk Road wallet during Ethereum’s initial coin offering (ICO).

Blockhain 調查分析師 TruthLabs 指責以太坊聯合創始人 Vitalik Buterin 在以太坊首次代幣發行（ICO）期間從 Ross Ulbricht 的絲綢之路錢包中沒收的比特幣中受益。

The allegations follow an online exchange between Buterin and Ulbricht on January 19. Ulbricht, who is serving a life sentence for operating the Silk Road marketplace, took to X to clarify his non-involvement with meme coins bearing his name. Buterin responded with a message of support, calling Ulbricht’s life imprisonment “absurd” and expressing hope for his freedom.

這些指控是在 Buterin 和 Ulbricht 於 1 月 19 日進行線上交流後提出的。布特林回應了一條支持訊息，稱烏布利希的終身監禁是“荒謬的”，並表達了對他自由的希望。

TruthLabs' Allegations

TruthLabs 的指控

In the early hours of today, TruthLabs posted a series of claims alleging that Bitcoin from Ulbricht’s seized wallet was used to fund Ethereum’s ICO and the Ethereum Foundation. They stated that the downfall of Silk Road and the confiscation of its assets provided the financial foundation for Ethereum’s success.

今天凌晨，TruthLabs 發布了一系列聲明，聲稱烏布利希被扣押的錢包中的比特幣被用來資助以太坊的 ICO 和以太坊基金會。他們表示，絲綢之路的垮台及其資產被沒收為以太坊的成功提供了財務基礎。

According to TruthLabs, Buterin was allegedly aware as early as January 2014 that Ethereum’s ICO would be funded by Bitcoin linked to Silk Road assets and the collapsed Mt. Gox exchange. The post criticized Buterin for not leading efforts to support Ulbricht’s freedom, despite Ethereum allegedly benefiting from his imprisonment.

據 TruthLabs 稱，據稱 Buterin 早在 2014 年 1 月就意識到以太坊的 ICO 將由與 Silk Road 資產和倒閉的 Mt. Gox 交易所相關的比特幣資助。該貼文批評 Buterin 沒有領導支持烏布利希自由的努力，儘管以太坊據稱從他的監禁中受益。

“Vitalik, your ICO, and your Foundation’s wallets were funded from Bitcoin that came from Ross Ulbricht’s seized Silk Road wallet,” TruthLabs wrote.

「Vitalik、你的 ICO 和你的基金會的錢包都是由比特幣資助的，這些比特幣來自 Ross Ulbricht 被扣押的絲綢之路錢包，」TruthLabs 寫道。

They further condemned Buterin for allowing grassroots movements like Free Ross DAO to rely on public donations while providing only minimal public support himself.

他們進一步譴責 Buterin 允許像 Free Ross DAO 這樣的草根運動依賴公眾捐款，而他自己只提供最低限度的公眾支持。

Broader Context and Reaction

更廣泛的背景和反應

Ross Ulbricht's life sentence has long been a contentious issue, with supporters advocating for clemency and criticizing the severity of his punishment. A Free Ross DAO, a decentralized fundraising initiative, has raised significant funds to support Ulbricht's legal efforts.

羅斯·烏布利希的無期徒刑長期以來一直是一個有爭議的問題，支持者主張寬大處理，並批評對他的懲罰的嚴厲性。 Free Ross DAO 是一項去中心化籌款計劃，已籌集了大量資金來支持 Ulbricht 的法律工作。

Neither Buterin nor the Ethereum Foundation have responded to the allegations at the time of writing. However, the claims have reignited debates over the origins of Ethereum's funding and the ethical responsibilities of its leadership.

截至撰寫本文時，Buterin 和以太坊基金會都沒有對這些指控做出回應。然而，這些說法重新引發了關於以太坊資金來源及其領導層道德責任的爭論。

Meanwhile, during the U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s campaign, he made a pledge to the crypto community to free the Silk Road creator, Ross Ulbricht, if re-elected. Notably, with Trump taking office today, whether he will fulfill the promise remains to be seen.

同時，在美國當選總統唐納德·川普競選期間，他向加密社區承諾，如果連任，將釋放絲綢之路創始人羅斯·烏布利希。值得注意的是，川普今天上任，他是否會兌現承諾還有待觀察。
