FBI 创建自己的加密代币以诱骗市场操纵者

对于美国联邦调查局 (FBI) 来说，卧底行动并不罕见。然而，这将是该局第一次以正义的名义创建自己的加密代币。

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has created its own cryptocurrency token in a sting operation to uncover crypto market manipulators.

美国联邦调查局（FBI）在一次诱捕行动中创建了自己的加密货币代币，以揭露加密货币市场操纵者。

According to a recently unsealed indictment, several firms, including Gotbit, CLS Global, MyTrade and ZM Quant, and 18 individuals have been charged with artificially inflating the price of tokens by executing sham trades in exchange for payment. One of the tokens in question was ‘NexFundAI’ — an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency created by the FBI to entrap the manipulators.

根据最近公布的起诉书，包括 Gotbit、CLS Global、MyTrade 和 ZM Quant 在内的几家公司以及 18 名个人被指控通过执行虚假交易以换取付款，人为抬高代币价格。其中一个有问题的代币是“NexFundAI”——联邦调查局创建的一种基于以太坊的加密货币，旨在诱骗操纵者。

“This marks the first time that the FBI has created its own cryptocurrency token in the name of justice,” said Special Agent Jodi Cohen, who is in charge of the FBI’s Boston Field Office, calling it an “unprecedented step.”

负责 FBI 波士顿外地办事处的特工乔迪·科恩 (Jodi Cohen) 表示：“这标志着 FBI 首次以正义的名义创建自己的加密货币代币，”他称这是“前所未有的一步”。

According to data from DEXScreener, the NexFundAI token is still trading, with a market capitalization of $177,000. Trading volume for the token has reportedly surged by 5,000% over the last 24 hours, reaching $3.5 million.

根据 DEXScreener 的数据，NexFundAI 代币仍在交易，市值为 177,000 美元。据报道，该代币的交易量在过去 24 小时内飙升了 5,000%，达到 350 万美元。

“This investigation, the first of its kind, identified numerous fraudsters in the cryptocurrency industry. Wash trading has long been outlawed in the financial markets, and cryptocurrency is no exception,” said Acting United States Attorney Joshua Levy in a statement.

“这项调查是此类调查中的首次，发现了加密货币行业中的众多欺诈者。美国代理检察官约书亚·利维 (Joshua Levy) 在一份声明中表示：“清洗交易在金融市场上长期以来一直被禁止，加密货币也不例外。”

The FBI is also urging individuals who have been impacted by trading tokens associated with the fraud to reach out, listing its own token alongside coins like Saitama, Robo Inn, VZZN and Lillian Finance.

FBI 还敦促受到与欺诈相关的代币交易影响的个人伸出援手，将自己的代币与 Saitama、Robo Inn、VZZN 和 Lillian Finance 等代币一起列出。

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also brought separate lawsuits against Gotbit Consulting, ZM Quant Investment and CLS Global.

美国证券交易委员会（SEC）还分别对 Gotbit Consulting、ZM Quant Investment 和 CLS Global 提起诉讼。

According to Conor Grogan, the director of Web3 at Coinbase, onchain activity shows that wallets linked to the FBI have recently made several memecoin trades.

Coinbase Web3 总监康纳·格罗根 (Conor Grogan) 表示，链上活动显示，与 FBI 相关的钱包最近进行了多笔 memecoin 交易。

“Not sure if the FBI realized this, but they doxxed their wallets. Shortly after deployment, the wallet that seeded the FBI wallet deployed capital to multiple other wallets, making dozens of trades. FBI wallets own at least 75% of the token supply from what I can tell,” said Grogan on X.

“不确定联邦调查局是否意识到这一点，但他们人肉搜索了他们的钱包。部署后不久，为 FBI 钱包注入资金的钱包将资金部署到多个其他钱包，进行了数十笔交易。据我所知，FBI 钱包至少拥有 75% 的代币供应。”Grogan 在 X 上说道。

Grogan’s analysis revealed that FBI-linked wallets own coins like Pornrocket, EthereumMAX and BONE. It is unclear whether those coins were sent to the FBI’s linked wallet addresses by other users.

Grogan 的分析显示，与 FBI 相关的钱包拥有 Pornrocket、EthereumMAX 和 BONE 等代币。目前尚不清楚这些代币是否被其他用户发送到联邦调查局的链接钱包地址。
