这个为期 2 年的计划从数百名受害者手中夺走了超过 2000 万美元的加密货币,这些钱被用来资助欺诈者的奢华生活方式。
An Indian national has been sentenced to five years in prison for his role in a multi-million dollar fraud scheme involving a fake Coinbase website. The scheme, which spanned two years, netted over $20 million in cryptocurrency from hundreds of victims.
一名印度国民因参与涉及虚假 Coinbase 网站的数百万美元欺诈计划而被判处五年监禁。该计划历时两年,从数百名受害者那里窃取了超过 2000 万美元的加密货币。
According to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of North Carolina on Thursday, Chirag Tomar, 31, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Kenneth D. Bell to 60 months in prison, followed by two years of supervised release. Tomar pleaded guilty to the wire fraud charge in May.
据美国北卡罗来纳州西区检察官办公室周四发布的一份声明,美国地区法官肯尼思·贝尔 (Kenneth D. Bell) 判处 31 岁的奇拉格·托马尔 (Chirag Tomar) 60 个月监禁,随后两年监管释放。托马尔于五月承认了电汇欺诈指控。
Tomar was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
托马尔被指控犯有一项共谋电信欺诈罪和一项共谋洗钱罪,每项罪名最高可判处 20 年监禁。
The U.S. Secret Service identified the Indian man through an email account that used his real name. Court documents state that Tomar communicated with his co-conspirators and applied for a U.S. travel visa using this account.
美国特勤局通过使用真实姓名的电子邮件帐户确认了这名印度男子的身份。法庭文件显示,托马尔与其同谋进行了沟通,并使用该账户申请了美国旅行签证。
He also maintained a spreadsheet detailing his victims, including the amounts stolen from them, and used fraudulently obtained identity documents to open Binance accounts.
他还维护了一份电子表格,详细说明了受害者的情况,包括从他们身上窃取的金额,并使用通过欺诈手段获得的身份文件开设了币安账户。
Starting in June 2021, the Indian national and his co-conspirators spoofed the Coinbase Pro website to scam users of the crypto exchange. The fraudsters used a similar URL and mimicked the authentic website, managing to scam over 500 victims in two years.
从 2021 年 6 月开始,这名印度国民及其同谋欺骗 Coinbase Pro 网站,欺骗加密货币交易所的用户。诈骗者使用类似的 URL 并模仿真实网站,在两年内成功诈骗了 500 多名受害者。
Once they visited the fake Coinbase website, the victims were tricked into providing their login credentials and authentication information. In some cases, Tomar and the other fraudsters posed as Coinbase customer service to obtain the victim’s two-factor authentication codes.
一旦访问了假冒的 Coinbase 网站,受害者就会被诱骗提供登录凭据和身份验证信息。在某些情况下,Tomar 和其他欺诈者冒充 Coinbase 客服来获取受害者的双因素身份验证码。
In other instances, users were deceived into allowing “Coinbase representatives” to operate remote desktop software to gain access to their computers and accounts. After obtaining full access, Tomar drained the victim’s holdings, transferring the ill-gotten crypto to wallets under his control.
在其他情况下,用户被欺骗允许“Coinbase 代表”操作远程桌面软件来访问他们的计算机和帐户。获得完全访问权限后,托马尔耗尽了受害者的资产,将不义之财转移到他控制下的钱包中。
According to court documents, a victim from the Western District of North Carolina lost $240,000 in crypto to the fraudsters’ scheme. The documents also state that Tomar used the stolen funds to finance his lavish lifestyle, traveling to Dubai, Thailand, and London.
根据法庭文件,北卡罗来纳州西区的一名受害者因欺诈者的计划而损失了 24 万美元的加密货币。文件还指出,托马尔利用被盗资金来维持他奢华的生活方式,前往迪拜、泰国和伦敦。
He also purchased several luxury items, including expensive watches and high-end vehicles such as Lamborghini and Porsches. Tomar was arrested on December 20, 2023, at the Atlanta airport while traveling to the U.S. to visit family.
他还购买了一些奢侈品,包括昂贵的手表和兰博基尼和保时捷等高端车辆。托马尔于 2023 年 12 月 20 日在亚特兰大机场前往美国探亲时被捕。
