Galaxy Digital同意支付2亿美元，以解决NYAG调查其推广Terra（Luna）

Galaxy Digital以30％的折扣收购了1,850万个Luna令牌，然后促销了它们，然后在不遵守披露规则的情况下出售它们。

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that her office has reached a settlement agreement with crypto investment firm Galaxy Digital and its CEO Michael Novogratz for allegedly spreading false claims about cryptocurrency startup Terra (LUNA) and failing to disclose material facts related to an investment in its tokens.

纽约总检察长莱蒂蒂亚·詹姆斯（Letitia James）宣布，她的办公室已与加密投资公司Galaxy Digital及其首席执行官Michael Novogratz达成了和解协议，据称据称传播了有关加密货币初创企业Terra（Luna）的虚假主张，并且未能透露与该代币投资相关的物质事实。

According to the filing, Galaxy Digital acquired 18.5 million LUNA tokens at a 30% discount and later sold them without disclosing the discount or the firm’s role in promoting the tokens to increase demand.

根据文件，Galaxy Digital以30％的折扣收购了1,850万Luna代币，后来将其出售，而无需披露折扣或公司在促进代币以增加需求方面的作用。

The filing mentions that the firm’s employees made false claims about the usage of a South Korean payments app, Chai, in an attempt to boost LUNA. The statement said that the app was built on the Terra blockchain, while it is actually used by a separate blockchain.

该文件提到，该公司的员工对使用韩国付款应用程序Chai提出了错误的说法，以试图促进Luna。该声明说，该应用是建立在Terra区块链上的，而实际上是由单独的区块链使用的。

This claim was also included in a press release sent to Bloomberg highlighting that the app “hosts over 2 million users and generates $1.2 billion in annualized transaction volume.”

该主张也包括在发送给彭博社的新闻稿中，该新闻稿强调，该应用程序“托管了200万用户，并产生了12亿美元的年度交易量”。

The statement adds that Novogratz participated in an interview with Bloomberg in March 2022, where he discussed the app and claimed that it was used by 2 million people in South Korea.

声明补充说，诺维格拉茨于2022年3月参加了彭博社的采访，在那里他讨论了该应用程序，并声称韩国有200万人使用了该应用程序。

As part of the settlement agreement, Galaxy will pay $200 million in monetary relief over three years: $40 million within 15 days, another $40 million within one year, and two additional payments of $60 million due within the second and third years, respectively.

作为和解协议的一部分，Galaxy将在三年内支付2亿美元的货币救济：15天内4000万美元，在一年内另外4000万美元，并分别在第二和第三年内额外支付6000万美元。

The filing also notes that the firm will be banned from investing in any digital asset security offerings for a period of three years.

该文件还指出，将禁止该公司在三年内投资任何数字资产安全产品。

Earlier this month, New York State Attorney General Letitia James announced that her office has recovered over $875 million from a hedge fund that made false statements about a distressed debt portfolio.

本月早些时候，纽约州检察长莱蒂亚·詹姆斯（Letitia James）宣布，她的办公室已从对冲基金中收回了超过8.75亿美元，该基金对遇险债务组合做出了虚假陈述。

James’s office had filed a lawsuit against Manhattan-based hedge fund, Pivotal Law, and its founder and managing partner, David DeMuro, in December 2021.

詹姆斯办公室于2021年12月对总部位于曼哈顿的对冲基金及其创始人兼执行伙伴David Demuro提起诉讼。

The lawsuit, which was filed in New York Supreme Court, accused Pivotal of making false and misleading statements to investors about the assets andliabilities of a distressed debt portfolio that it was managing.

该诉讼是在纽约最高法院提起的，指控关键是向投资者发表虚假和误导性的声明，内容涉及其管理的欠债债务组合的资产和债务。

Pivotal’s misstatements to investors began in 2019, when it told investors that it had no outstanding liabilities and had assets of over $250 million. However, Pivotal had actually incurred significant liabilities and had assets of less than $100 million.

Pivotal对投资者的错误陈述始于2019年，当时它告诉投资者它没有出色的债务，资产超过2.5亿美元。但是，关键实际上已经产生了重大负债，资产不到1亿美元。

The filing notes that Pivotal’s misstatements were part of a broader scheme to defraud investors. For example, Pivotal’s executives allegedly used investor funds to pay for personal expenses and to make lavish investments in a cryptocurrency that subsequently lost nearly all of its value.

该文件指出，关键的错误陈述是欺骗投资者的更广泛计划的一部分。例如，据称，Pivotal的高管使用投资者资金来支付个人支出，并在加密货币上进行豪华投资，该加密货币随后几乎失去了其所有价值。

The filing also notes that Pivotal failed to disclose material facts about its investment strategy and risk management practices.

该文件还指出，关键未能透露有关其投资策略和风险管理实践的重大事实。

In March 2024, the hedge fund agreed to pay $875 million to settle the lawsuit. The settlement will be paid over a period of three years and will include restitution to defrauded investors.

2024年3月，对冲基金同意支付8.75亿美元来解决诉讼。和解将在三年的时间内支付，并将包括向欺诈投资者赔偿。

“After mismanaging a distressed debt portfolio and losing nearly all of the investment capital entrusted to Pivotal, DeMuro and Pivotal tried to deceive investors with a series of lies,” said Attorney General James. “We are holding Pivotal accountable for its actions and ensuring that investors are made whole.”

总检察长詹姆斯说：“在管理不良的债务组合并失去了几乎所有托付给关键的投资资本之后，Demuro和Pivotal试图用一系列谎言欺骗投资者。” “我们对其行动负责，并确保投资者成为整体。”

The case began when investigators at Attorney General James’s office, who are experienced in handling cases of financial fraud, uncovered evidence of Pivotal’s misconduct. The investigation revealed that Pivotal had been making false and misleading statements to investors for years.

该案始于詹姆斯总检察长办公室的调查人员在处理财务欺诈案件的经验时，发现了Pivotal不当行为的证据。调查显示，多年来，关键一直向投资者发表虚假和误导性的陈述。

The filing states that Pivotal’s misstatements began after it experienced significant losses due to making risky investments in cryptocurrency and other assets.

该文件指出，关键的错误陈述始于由于对加密货币和其他资产的风险投资而造成的巨大损失。

In an attempt to recover the losses, Pivotal’s executives decided to misrepresent the value of the distressed debt portfolio to investors. The filing adds that the hedge fund also failed to disclose material facts about its investment strategy and risk management practices.

为了恢复损失，Pivotal的高管决定将陷入困境的债务投资组合的价值歪曲给投资者。该文件补充说，对冲基金也未能披露有关其投资策略和风险管理实践的重大事实。

The case is still ongoing and more details may be released in the coming months.

该案仍在进行中，并且可能会在未来几个月内发布更多细节。
