小埃里克委员会（Eric Council Jr.

An Alabama man charged with hacking into the X account of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to falsely post that the agency had approved bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is set to plead guilty in the case, according to court documents.

法院文件显示，一名阿拉巴马州被指控入侵美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的X帐户，以虚假发布该机构已批准比特币交易所交易资金（ETFS）在此案中认罪。

A “Consent Order of Forfeiture,” filed on Friday in D.C. federal court, shows Eric Council Jr. has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit aggravated identity theft and access device fraud. He will also forfeit $50,000 in proceeds from these offenses.

周五在哥伦比亚特区联邦法院提交的“没收命令”显示，小埃里克委员会已同意认罪，以串谋犯有严重的身份盗窃和访问设备欺诈。他还将从这些罪行中没收50,000美元的收益。

Prosecutors said Council used a fake ID to trick a phone store employee into helping him and co-conspirators access a device with access to the SEC’s X account. Prosecutors added that Council’s sentencing is set for May 16 before Judge Amy Berman Jackson.

检察官说，理事会使用假ID来欺骗电话商店员工帮助他和同谋访问具有SEC X帐户的设备。检察官补充说，理事会的量刑定于5月16日，面临艾米·伯曼·杰克逊法官。

The case stems from the then highly anticipated SEC approval of spot bitcoin ETFs, with the security breach leading to a post shared on the agency’s account one day before the actual approval. At the time, the approval of these funds was eagerly anticipated as these were widely expected to bring in significant flows from institutional investors. The false X post sent the price of bitcoin briefly surging.

该案件源于当时备受期待的SEC对现货比特币ETF的批准，安全违规导致在实际批准前一天在该机构帐户上共享的职位。当时，这些资金的批准被预料到了，因为这些资金被普遍期望引入机构投资者的大量流量。 False X Post短暂地发送了比特币的价格。

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Council in October for hijacking the SEC’s X account.

联邦调查局（FBI）于10月因劫持了SEC X帐户而逮捕了理事会。
