AMF 获得针对 Vincent Allard 和 Pyrole Capital Inc. 的冻结令和禁令针对 BALD 代币的市场欺诈和价格操纵

蒙特利尔，2024年7月31日 /CNW/ - 2024年4月29日，金融市场行政法庭（“法庭”）对 Vincent Allard 和 Pyrole Capital Inc. 发出冻结令和禁令。 （“被告”）在他们缺席的情况下举行了听证会。

MONTRÉAL, July 31, 2024 /CNW/ - On April 29, 2024, the Financial Markets Administrative Tribunal (the "Tribunal") issued freeze orders and bans against Vincent Allard and Pyrole Capital inc. (the "Respondents") further to a hearing held in their absence.

蒙特利尔，2024年7月31日 /CNW/ - 2024年4月29日，金融市场行政法庭（“法庭”）对 Vincent Allard 和 Pyrole Capital Inc. 发出冻结令和禁令。 （“被告”）在他们缺席的情况下举行了听证会。

According to an ongoing AMF investigation, the Respondents committed market fraud or manipulated the price of the BALD token, a cryptoasset created by Vincent Allard.

根据 AMF 正在进行的调查，被告犯有市场欺诈行为或操纵了文森特·阿拉德 (Vincent Allard) 创建的加密资产 BALD 代币的价格。

The Tribunal found that there was evidence that BALD was deployed on a decentralized exchange for the purpose of manipulating the token's value and reaping large profits and that the Respondents had made the equivalent of more than CAD $7 million from these illegal activities over a two-day period. In so doing, they carried on business as a securities dealer and adviser without being registered with the AMF and distributed investment contracts to the public without preparing a prospectus subject to a receipt issued by the AMF or benefitting from an exemption from this requirement.

法庭发现，有证据表明 BALD 被部署在去中心化交易所上，其目的是操纵代币价值并获取巨额利润，并且被告在两天内从这些非法活动中获利超过 700 万加元时期。在此过程中，他们在未向 AMF 注册的情况下以证券交易商和顾问的身份开展业务，并向公众分发投资合同，但未准备需要 AMF 出具收据的招股说明书，也未享受此项要求的豁免。

The Tribunal found that the AMF had presented compelling evidence that the Respondents had committed the alleged apparent breaches and said that, in its opinion, without the AMF's intervention, the amounts harvested from investors would likely be dissipated by the Respondents.

仲裁庭认为，AMF 提供了令人信服的证据，证明被告实施了所谓的明显违规行为，并表示，在其看来，如果没有 AMF 的干预，从投资者那里获得的款项可能会被被告挥霍掉。

Consequently, the Tribunal prohibited the Respondents from engaging in any activity for the purpose of directly or indirectly trading in any security, including BALD or any other token in the nature of a form of an investment. It also prohibited the Respondent from acting as dealers or investment fund managers.

因此，仲裁庭禁止被告从事任何以直接或间接交易任何证券为目的的活动，包括 BALD 或任何其他具有投资形式的代币。它还禁止被诉人担任交易商或投资基金经理。

Lastly, the Tribunal issued various freeze orders on the Respondents' bank and cryptoasset accounts.

最后，法庭对被告的银行和加密资产账户发出了各种冻结令。

Notices of contestation were filed by the Respondents, but to date no hearing has been set.

被告已提交异议通知，但迄今为止尚未安排听证会。
