美国证券交易委员会修改投诉，声称孙杨的美国访问授予管辖权

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）修改了对孙宇晨和其他被告的起诉，称孙宇晨涉嫌对美国进行广泛访问，使其拥有采取法律行动的管辖权。 SEC 声称，2017 年至 2019 年间，Sun 在美国度过了 380 多天，前往主要城市出差，并与现已解散的加密货币交易所 Bittrex 进行沟通，以列出 TRX 加密货币。该机构还指控 Sun 和这些公司在 Bittrex 上参与了虚假交易计划。

Amended SEC Complaint Claims Justin Sun's US Visits Establish Jurisdiction

修改后的 SEC 诉状声称贾斯汀·孙 (Justin Sun) 的美国之行确立了管辖权

On April 18, 2023, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed an amended complaint in its ongoing case against Justin Sun and other defendants, asserting that Sun's alleged visits to the US provide sufficient grounds for the agency to exercise jurisdiction in pursuing legal action.

2023 年 4 月 18 日，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 在针对孙宇晨和其他被告的正在进行的案件中提交了修改后的起诉书，声称孙宇晨涉嫌访问美国为该机构行使司法管辖权提供了充分的理由合法举动。

Extensive US Travel Alleged

涉嫌大量美国旅行

According to the SEC's amended complaint, Sun "traveled extensively" to the US between 2017 and 2019 while he and several affiliated companies were engaged in the unregistered sale of BTT and TRX tokens. The SEC alleges that Sun spent over 380 days in the US during that period, visiting major cities such as New York City, Boston, and San Francisco. These trips were conducted on behalf of the Tron Foundation and the BitTorrent Foundation, both of which are also named as defendants in the case.

根据 SEC 修改后的起诉书，孙在 2017 年至 2019 年间“广泛前往”美国，同时他和几家关联公司从事 BTT 和 TRX 代币的未注册销售。 SEC 称，Sun 在此期间在美国度过了 380 多天，访问了纽约、波士顿和旧金山等主要城市。这些旅行是代表 Tron 基金会和 BitTorrent 基金会进行的，这两个基金会也被列为本案的被告。

Jurisdictional Claim Based on Physical Presence

基于实际存在的管辖权主张

The SEC argues that Sun's alleged physical presence in the US during the relevant time period establishes the necessary connection to the country to assert personal jurisdiction over him and the associated companies. The agency contends that Sun's "continuous and substantial" presence in the US indicates that he was engaged in business activities that subjected him to the jurisdiction of US courts.

美国证券交易委员会认为，Sun 据称在相关时间段内在美国境内，与该国建立了必要的联系，可以对他和关联公司行使个人管辖权。该机构认为，孙在美国“持续且大量”存在表明他从事的商业活动使其受到美国法院的管辖。

Wash Trading Allegations

清洗交易指控

The SEC's amended complaint further alleges that Sun and the companies engaged in a wash trading scheme on the now-defunct crypto exchange Bittrex. Wash trading involves buying and selling the same asset multiple times to create the illusion of trading activity and artificially inflate prices. The SEC alleges that Sun and the companies used this scheme to manipulate the price of BTT and TRX tokens.

美国证券交易委员会修改后的起诉书进一步指控 Sun 和这些公司在现已解散的加密货币交易所 Bittrex 上参与了清洗交易计划。清洗交易涉及多次买卖同一资产，以制造交易活动的假象并人为抬高价格。 SEC 指控 Sun 和这些公司利用这一计划来操纵 BTT 和 TRX 代币的价格。

Bittrex Involvement Detailed

Bittrex 参与详情

Notably, the amended complaint specifically identifies Bittrex as the platform on which the alleged wash trading occurred. The SEC alleges that Sun personally communicated with Bittrex representatives and provided documents to facilitate the listing of TRX on the exchange. The complaint includes copies of emails and other correspondence between Sun and Bittrex, linking Sun to the scheme and the other defendants.

值得注意的是，修改后的投诉明确指出 Bittrex 是发生所谓清洗交易的平台。 SEC 称，Sun 亲自与 Bittrex 代表进行了沟通，并提供了文件以促进 TRX 在交易所上市。投诉包括 Sun 和 Bittrex 之间的电子邮件和其他信件的副本，将 Sun 与该计划和其他被告联系起来。

Addressing Request for Dismissal

处理解雇请求

The amended complaint directly addresses the concerns raised by Sun in his March 2023 motion to dismiss the SEC's case due to lack of personal jurisdiction. Sun argued that he is a foreign national and not "at home" in the US, and that the companies have no substantial presence in the country. However, the SEC counters these arguments by highlighting Sun's alleged extensive travel and business activities in the US.

修改后的投诉直接解决了 Sun 在 2023 年 3 月动议中提出的担忧，该动议因缺乏属人管辖权而驳回 SEC 的案件。孙辩称，他是外国人，在美国并不“如家”，而且这些公司在美国没有实质性业务。然而，美国证券交易委员会反驳了这些论点，强调了 Sun 涉嫌在美国进行的广泛旅行和商业活动。

Background of the Case

案件背景

The SEC originally filed suit against Sun and the other defendants in March 2023, alleging that they conducted an unregistered securities offering of BTT and TRX tokens. The agency claimed that the defendants raised over $1 billion from investors, many of whom were based in the US. The SEC's amended complaint further strengthens its case by providing more detailed evidence of Sun's US travel and involvement in the alleged wash trading scheme.

美国证券交易委员会最初于 2023 年 3 月对 Sun 和其他被告提起诉讼，指控他们进行了未经注册的 BTT 和 TRX 代币证券发行。该机构声称，被告从投资者那里筹集了超过 10 亿美元，其中许多投资者来自美国。 SEC 修改后的起诉书提供了 Sun 前往美国以及参与所谓虚假交易计划的更详细证据，进一步强化了其案情。

Implications for the Case

对本案的影响

The SEC's amended complaint has significant implications for the ongoing case against Sun and the other defendants. By establishing personal jurisdiction over Sun and the companies, the SEC has bolstered its ability to pursue legal action in US courts. The agency's allegations of wash trading and the involvement of Bittrex further solidify its claims of illegal activity. The case is expected to proceed to trial unless the parties reach a settlement agreement.

美国证券交易委员会修改后的起诉书对正在进行的针对 Sun 和其他被告的案件具有重大影响。通过对 Sun 及其公司建立属人管辖权，美国证券交易委员会增强了其在美国法院提起法律诉讼的能力。该机构对虚假交易和 Bittrex 参与的指控进一步证实了其对非法活动的指控。除非双方达成和解协议，否则该案预计将继续审理。
