SEC 指控 Mango DAO 和 Blockworks 基金会未注册的代币销售和经纪活动

SEC 指控去中心化自治组织 Mango DAO 和总部位于巴拿马的实体 Blockworks Foundation 未经注册销售“MNGO”代币以及与 Mango Markets 平台相关的未经注册经纪活动。

The SEC has charged Mango DAO and Blockworks Foundation with the unregistered sale of ‘MNGO’ tokens and unregistered broker activity related to the Mango Markets platform.

SEC 指控 Mango DAO 和 Blockworks 基金会未经注册销售“MNGO”代币以及与 Mango Markets 平台相关的未经注册经纪活动。

The SEC alleges that Mango DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization, and Blockworks Foundation, a Panama-based entity, raised over $70 million from the sale of MNGO tokens starting in August 2021. The SEC claims that these entities bypassed protections meant to safeguard investors by avoiding federal registration rules.

SEC 指控，去中心化自治组织 Mango DAO 和总部位于巴拿马的实体 Blockworks Foundation 从 2021 年 8 月开始通过销售 MNGO 代币筹集了超过 7000 万美元。SEC 声称，这些实体通过以下方式绕过了旨在保护投资者的保护措施：规避联邦注册规则。

All parties charged settled the charges, agreeing to destroy their tokens and pay a fine.

所有被指控的各方都达成和解，同意销毁其代币并支付罚款。

The MNGO tokens acted as governance tokens, allowing holders to have a say in how Mango Markets operates. Mango Markets is a crypto trading platform where users can trade digital assets.

MNGO 代币充当治理代币，允许持有者对 Mango Markets 的运营方式拥有发言权。 Mango Markets是一个加密货币交易平台，用户可以在其中交易数字资产。

Mango Markets recently allocated $250,000 in USD Coin (USDC) to address U.S. regulatory scrutiny, following a series of regulatory challenges, including a 2022 Avraham Eisenberg hack that resulted in $116 million in losses.

在遭遇一系列监管挑战（包括 2022 年 Avraham Eisenberg 黑客攻击导致 1.16 亿美元损失）后，Mango Markets 最近分配了 25 万美元的美元硬币 (USDC)，以应对美国监管审查。

Crypto lawyer Bill Hughes suggested on X that Eisenberg’s Mango Market hack and subsequent conviction threw more scrutiny on the entire project, eventually culminating in settled SEC charges and a monetary fine.

加密货币律师比尔·休斯 (Bill Hughes) 在 X 上表示，艾森伯格对芒果市场的黑客攻击和随后的定罪对整个项目进行了更多审查，最终导致 SEC 指控和罚款。

Mango token ICO didn't require proof you weren't a US person, so US persons participated. US persons also helped create Mango Markets and got a token allocation as compensation for their work. The Mango DAO website was accessible by US persons. Mango Markets was accessed by US…

Unregistered brokers

未注册经纪人

The SEC also charged Blockworks Foundation and Mango Labs LLC with acting as unregistered brokers, alleging that they recruited users to trade on Mango Markets and provided advice and valuations on investment opportunities.

SEC 还指控 Blockworks Foundation 和 Mango Labs LLC 充当未注册经纪人，声称他们招募用户在 Mango Markets 上进行交易，并提供有关投资机会的建议和估值。

According to the SEC, this activity meant that the entities were operating as brokers without the necessary regulatory registration.

根据美国证券交易委员会的说法，这一活动意味着这些实体在没有必要的监管注册的情况下以经纪人身份运营。

Similarly, on Sept. 18, the SEC charged Rari Capital and its co-founders for acting as unregistered brokers. They allegedly conducted unregistered securities offerings through investment products holding over $1 billion in crypto assets.

同样，9 月 18 日，SEC 指控 Rari Capital 及其联合创始人充当未注册经纪人。据称，他们通过持有超过 10 亿美元加密资产的投资产品进行了未经注册的证券发行。

For context, the SEC requires entities offering securities, such as stocks or tokens with investment features, to register with them to ensure investor protections. This includes adhering to strict disclosure rules and other regulations.

就背景而言，美国证券交易委员会要求提供证券（例如具有投资功能的股票或代币）的实体向其注册，以确保投资者受到保护。这包括遵守严格的披露规则和其他法规。

所有被指控方均同意支付近 70 万美元的罚款、销毁其 MNGO 代币，并要求将这些代币从交易平台上删除。他们还同意今后不再招揽 MNGO 代币的交易。
