YouTube 熱門明星吉米唐納森（Jimmy Donaldson）（以“MrBeast”而聞名）正面臨強烈指控，稱他通過拉高拋售市場上幾種低成本加密貨幣的方式賺取了超過 1000 萬美元。

Popular YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, is facing serious allegations of making over $10 million through a pump-and-dump scheme for several low-cost cryptocurrencies on the market.

受歡迎的 Y​​ouTuber 吉米唐納森（Jimmy Donaldson）（更廣為人知的名字是 MrBeast）正面臨嚴重指控，稱他透過市場上幾種低成本加密貨幣的拉高拋售計劃賺取了超過 1000 萬美元。

These allegations follow an on-chain investigation by crypto sleuth SomaXBT, who discovered that MrBeast participated in several Initial DEX offerings (IDOs) and token promotions for various projects. Following his endorsements, the YouTuber cashed out large profits as the token prices surged.

這些指控是在加密貨幣偵探 SomaXBT 進行鏈上調查之後發現的，MrBeast 參與了多個初始 DEX 產品（IDO）和多個項目的代幣促銷活動。在他的代言之後，隨著代幣價格的飆升，這位 YouTuber 兌現了巨額利潤。

The projects reportedly involved include SuperFarm ($SUPER), Polychain Monsters ($PMON), SPLYT ($SHOPX), and others, with some tokens dropping over 90% in value after MrBeast's departure, showcasing a classic "pump and dump" scheme.

據報導，涉及的項目包括SuperFarm ($SUPER)、Polychain Monsters ($PMON)、SPLYT ($SHOPX) 等，其中一些代幣在MrBeast 離開後價值下跌了90% 以上，展現了經典的「拉高拋售」計劃。

In a public Twitter thread, SomaXBT shared details of MrBeast's activities traced through a wallet linked to him, as identified by Arkham Intelligence. The sleuth showcased several instances where MrBeast invested small amounts of tokens in private deals and later sold them as public trading surged.

在 Twitter 的公開貼文中，SomaXBT 分享了透過 Arkham Intelligence 確認的與 MrBeast 關聯的錢包追蹤到的活動細節。偵探展示了 MrBeast 在私人交易中投資少量代幣，然後隨著公開交易激增而出售的幾個例子。

One of the key cases involves the SuperFarm ($SUPER) token, a project supported by Elliot Trades.

其中一個關鍵案例涉及 SuperFarm ($SUPER) 代幣，這是 Elliot Trades 支持的一個項目。

According to SomaXBT, MrBeast invested $100,000 in the project, receiving 1 million $SUPER tokens in return. Following his investment, the token price soared, and on March 30, 2021, MrBeast allegedly transferred his $SUPER tokens to a secondary wallet, where they were sold in a series of trades totaling 1,900 ETH (approximately $3.7 million at the time).

據 SomaXBT 稱，MrBeast 在該項目中投資了 10 萬美元，獲得了 100 萬美元 SUPER 代幣作為回報。投資後，代幣價格飆升，據稱MrBeast 於2021 年3 月30 日將其$SUPER 代幣轉移到二級錢包，並在二級錢包中進行了一系列交易，總計1,900 ETH（當時約合370萬美元）。

The investigator further claimed that MrBeast received additional $SUPER tokens through a vesting contract, which he later sold for another $5.5 million, bringing his total earnings from the project to around $9 million.

調查人員進一步聲稱，MrBeast 透過歸屬合約獲得了額外的 $SUPER 代幣，後來他以 550 萬美元的價格出售了該代幣，使他從該項目獲得的總收入達到了約 900 萬美元。

3/ Here's the proof he invested only $100k in SuperFarmDAO. In a screenshot from @elliotrades live stream, he accidentally revealed a DM conversation with MrBeast about the $100k investment. Later, this matched with MrBeast's wallet activity, where he sent $100k to a new wallet.… pic.twitter.com/yxfW0aZcuJ

3/ 這是他僅在 SuperFarmDAO 投資 10 萬美元的證明。在 @elliotrades 直播的截圖中，他無意中透露了與 MrBeast 就 10 萬美元投資進行的 DM 對話。後來，這與 MrBeast 的錢包活動相匹配，他向一個新錢包發送了 10 萬美元。

MrBeast Crypto Wallets Under Investigation

MrBeast 加密錢包正在接受調查

SomaXBT then delved into other crypto transactions linked with MrBeast crypto wallets, such as his involvement with Polychain Monsters ($PMON), another low-cap token project.

SomaXBT 隨後深入研究了與 MrBeast 加密錢包相關的其他加密交易，例如他參與的另一個低市值代幣項目 Polychain Monsters ($PMON)。

The YouTuber invested a total of $25,000 and in return received 25,000 $PMON tokens. Later on March 31, 2021, his associated wallets transferred the tokens to another wallet while selling in a series of trades totaling 685 ETH approximately worth $1.3 million.

這位 YouTuber 總共投資了 25,000 美元，並獲得了 25,000 個 $PMON 代幣作為回報。 2021 年 3 月 31 日晚些時候，他的關聯錢包將代幣轉移到另一個錢包，同時進行了一系列交易，總計 685 ETH，價值約 130 萬美元。

The investigation reveals that MrBeast received additional allocations of $PMON tokens, ultimately earning around $1.7 million from this investment.

調查顯示，MrBeast 收到了 $PMON 代幣的額外分配，最終從這項投資中賺了約 170 萬美元。

Additionally, the investigation from SomaXBT outlines MrBeast’s participation in other token projects, such as SPLYT ($SHOPX), where he reportedly invested $25,000 and earned $765,000 after selling his allocation. He is also said to have made $1.25 million from $STAK tokens, although the specifics of this transaction were not as thoroughly documented as the others.

此外，SomaXBT 的調查還概述了 MrBeast 參與其他代幣項目的情況，例如 SPLYT ($SHOPX)，據報道，他在那裡投資了 25,000 美元，並在出售其分配後賺取了 765,000 美元。據說他還從 $STAK 代幣中賺取了 125 萬美元，儘管這筆交易的細節沒有像其他交易那樣詳細記錄。

11/ $STAK by @jigstack$STAK is another token where MrBeast reportedly made $1.25 million by selling his allocation. While no direct on-chain transactions for $STAK are found, two Binance deposits (150k USDT and 100k USDT) closely match the timing of his allocation.

11/ @jigstack$STAK 的 $STAK 是另一種代幣，據報 MrBeast 通過出售其配額賺取了 125 萬美元。雖然沒有發現 $STAK 的直接鏈上交易，但兩筆幣安存款（150k USDT 和 100k USDT）與他的分配時間非常匹配。

SomaXBT highlights the ethical concerns surrounding these transactions, suggesting that MrBeast’s actions resemble those seen in pump-and-dump schemes.

SomaXBT 強調了圍繞這些交易的道德問題，表明 MrBeast 的行為類似於拉高拋售計劃中的行為。

The investigation notes that many of these projects experienced substantial price drops following MrBeast’s alleged sell-offs. For example, $SUPER has declined by 75% from its peak, while other tokens, such as $PMON and $SHOPX, have faced even steeper losses, with some plummeting over 90%.

調查指出，在 MrBeast 涉嫌拋售後，其中許多項目的價格大幅下跌。例如，$SUPER 已較高峰下跌 75%，而 $PMON 和 $SHOPX 等其他代幣則面臨更嚴重的損失，有的暴跌超過 90%。
