前银河数字，高盛（Goldman Sachs）执行理查德·金（Richard Kim）因涉嫌欺骗数百万的投资者而被捕

政府指控金在虚假借口下为他的合资企业零边缘征集了超过700万美元，然后挪用了资金

A former executive at top Wall Street firms and founder of a startup crypto casino has been charged by federal prosecutors with defrauding investors out of millions of dollars.

联邦检察官被指控欺骗了数百万美元的投资者，曾是华尔街顶级公司的前高管，也是一家初创公司加密赌场的创始人。

According to court filings, Richard Kim, previously with Galaxy Digital, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase, was arrested Tuesday.

根据法庭文件，理查德·金（Richard Kim）以前与Galaxy Digital，Goldman Sachs和JPMorgan Chase一起被捕。

The accusations, which appear in a formal complaint, charge Kim with wire fraud and securities fraud allegedly occurring between March and July 2024. The filing, sworn by an FBI agent, claims Kim is accused of “knowingly devising and intending to devise a scheme and artifice to defraud” investors.

这些指控出现在正式的投诉中，指控金有关电汇欺诈和证券欺诈指控，据称是在2024年3月至7月之间发生的。联邦调查局特工宣誓就职的文件声称，金正日被指控“故意设计并打算为辩护者设计和工艺”。

Kim’s startup, Zero Edge, a crypto casino rendering players even odds, had reportedly raised over $7 million by July, closing a seed round around June 20. Within days, the misappropriation began, and nearly all of the funds were lost, according to the FBI.

据报道，金正日的创业公司是一家加密赌场，使玩家甚至弥补了零用，据报道到7月筹集了超过700万美元，在6月20日左右结束了种子。几天之内，盗用开始了，几乎所有资金都丢失了。

Initial reports indicated that Kim himself had admitted to losing at least $3.67 million shortly after funding closed, and prosecutors later cited a figure closer to $4.3 million.

最初的报告表明，金本人已承认在资金结束后不久损失了至少367万美元，检察官后来列举了一个数字接近430万美元。

Kim had attributed the losses to leveraged crypto trades during Bitcoin’s June decline, telling CoinDesk that it was fueled by a long-standing gambling addiction and a “downward spiral.” He said that after receiving the funds, “something snapped. I felt compelled to make up for my missteps.”

金归因于比特币六月下降期间杠杆加密交易的损失，告诉科德斯克，这是由于长期存在的赌博成瘾和“下降螺旋式”的推动。他说，在收到资金后，“有些东西被抢购一空。我感到不得不弥补我的失误。”

Kim’s arrest marks a sharp fall from prominence.

金的逮捕标志着突出的急剧下降。

Having begun his career as an attorney at Cleary Gottlieb, Kim later held a COO role in trading divisions at both Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. He went on to co-found a hedge fund and later became a general partner at Galaxy Interactive, part of the cryptocurrency bank and asset management firm Galaxy Digital.

Kim在Cleary Gottlieb担任律师的职业生涯后，后来在高盛和摩根大通的交易部门中担任过COO角色。他继续共同创立了对冲基金，后来成为Galaxy Interactive的普通合伙人，Galaxy Interactive是加密货币银行和资产管理公司Galaxy Digital的一部分。

Galaxy Digital was among the investors in Zero Edge. A spokesperson shared in a July interview that Galaxy and others had contacted the authorities and reported Kim’s conduct after learning of his actions and losses. They described their own investment as “immaterial.”

Galaxy Digital是零边缘的投资者之一。一位发言人在7月的一次采访中分享了Galaxy和其他人联系当局，并在得知Kim的行为和损失后报告了Kim的行为。他们将自己的投资描述为“非物质”。

Kim said in that interview that he had proactively contacted the SEC and intended to cooperate fully with any investigation. He admitted that his actions were “grossly negligent” but maintained that he never set out to steal and had no fraudulent intent.

金在那次采访中说，他已经主动与SEC联系，并打算与任何调查完全合作。他承认自己的行为“严重疏忽大意”，但坚持认为他从未打算偷窃，也没有欺诈意图。

The wire fraud charge specifically involves using interstate communications to misappropriate funds. The securities fraud count alleges Kim used “manipulative and deceptive devices,” including untrue statements or omissions, related to securities.

电线欺诈指控特别涉及使用州际通信来滥用适合资金。证券欺诈数量指控金正日使用了“操纵和欺骗手段”，包括与证券有关的不真实陈述或遗漏。

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York is handling the prosecution. Court records indicate that Kim was released on a $250,000 secured bond. Despite resigning from Zero Edge on July 2, Kim said that he intended to repay investors.

纽约南部地区的美国检察官办公室正在处理起诉。法院记录表明，金（Kim）以25万美元的有担保债券获释。尽管7月2日从零边缘辞职，但金说他打算偿还投资者。
