Gotbit创始人Aleksei Andriunin与美国检察官达成了认罪协议

Gotbit创始人Aleksei Andriunin周三与美国检察官达成了一项认罪协议，这将使他在监狱后不超过24个月

Gotbit founder Aleksei Andriunin has struck a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors that will see him serve no more than 24 months behind bars for his role in what prosecutors described as a “wide-ranging conspiracy” to manipulate token prices for paying clients.

Gotbit创始人Aleksei Andriunin与美国检察官达成了一项认罪协议，该协议将看到他在检察官所说的“广泛的阴谋”中的角色不超过24个月，以操纵代币价格来支付客户的费用。

Andriunin, a 26-year-old Russian national, was extradited to the U.S. last month and charged with two counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit market manipulation and wire fraud – charges which carry a maximum combined sentence of 25 years in prison. In exchange for a reduced sentence, Andriunin pleaded guilty to all three counts. He also agreed to forfeit approximately $23 million in stablecoins tied to his crimes. The government is not seeking any other fine.

安德里宁（Andriunin）是一名26岁的俄罗斯国民，上个月被引渡到美国，并被指控犯有两项电汇欺诈和阴谋犯下市场操纵和电汇欺诈罪 - 指控最高判处25年监禁。为了换句话说，安德里宁对这三项罪名表示认罪。他还同意没收与他的罪行有关的大约2300万美元的稳定币。政府没有寻求其他罚款。

Andriunin’s sentencing hearing is set for Dec. 14.

Andriunin的判决听证会定于12月14日。

In their indictment last October, prosecutors alleged that Gotbit was basically a market manipulator for hire, offering wash-trading services to paying crypto projects who wanted to artificially inflate the volume and price of their tokens. In return for these services, Gotbit charged a fee – an "integration" fee, in the company’s own words.

检察官在去年10月的起诉书中声称，Gotbit基本上是租用的市场操纵者，为付费的加密项目提供了Wash交易的服务，这些项目希望人为地夸大其代币的数量和价格。作为这些服务的回报，Gotbit收取了费用 - 用公司自己的话说的“集成”费用。

Andriunin’s guilty plea is not entirely surprising: he was never coy about Gotbit’s business activities. In a 2019 interview with CoinDesk, Andriunin – then a 20-year-old college sophomore at Moscow State University – admitted that his business was “not entirely ethical” and detailed how he used bot trading to create enough artificial trade volume for a project to be listed on CoinMarketCap.

Andriunin的有罪认罪并不完全令人惊讶：他从不对Gotbit的商业活动感到沮丧。在2019年接受Coindesk的采访中，Andriunin（当时是20岁的莫斯科州立大学大二学生）承认，他的业务“并非完全是道德的”，并详细介绍了他如何使用Bot Trading创建足够的人工贸易量来为CoinMarksetCap上列出的项目。

Gotbit is not the only market maker offering these services. At the same time that Andriunin and his company were charged, along with two other employees, U.S. prosecutors charged a handful of other firms, including CLS Global, MyTrade and ZMQuant, as well as several of the companies’ employees and promoters, with similarly offering for-hire market manipulation services.

Gotbit并不是唯一提供这些服务的做市商。同时，Andriunin和他的公司与另外两名员工一起起诉，美国检察官收取了包括CLS Global，MyTrade和Zmquant在内的其他一些公司，以及几家公司的员工和推销员，并提供了类似的提供雇用的市场操纵服务。
