权道在美国面临刑事指控

失败的加密货币 TerraUSD 和 Luna 背后的韩国企业家 Do Kwon 将于周四在曼哈顿联邦法院出庭

Do Kwon, the South Korean entrepreneur behind the failed cryptocurrencies TerraUSD and Luna, is set to appear in a Manhattan federal court on Thursday, facing serious criminal fraud charges.

失败的加密货币 TerraUSD 和 Luna 背后的韩国企业家 Do Kwon 将于周四在曼哈顿联邦法院出庭，面临严重的刑事欺诈指控。

This follows his recent extradition from Montenegro, where he had been detained for over a year after attempting to use falsified travel documents at the country’s Podgorica airport.

此前，他最近从黑山被引渡，他因试图在该国波德戈里察机场使用伪造的旅行证件而被拘留一年多。

Do Kwon Faces Criminal Charges In The US

权道在美国面临刑事指控

Kwon’s legal troubles stem from the catastrophic collapse of his digital currencies in 2022, which resulted in an estimated loss of $40 billion for investors.

Kwon 的法律麻烦源于他的数字货币在 2022 年的灾难性崩溃，导致投资者估计损失 400 亿美元。

The SEC and the Manhattan US Attorney’s office allege that Kwon misled investors about the stability of TerraUSD, a stablecoin purported to maintain a value of $1. The failure of TerraUSD, along with its sister token Luna, triggered a broader downturn in the cryptocurrency market, impacting established digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC).

美国证券交易委员会和曼哈顿美国检察官办公室指控 Kwon 在 TerraUSD 的稳定性方面误导了投资者，TerraUSD 是一种据称能维持 1 美元价值的稳定币。 TerraUSD 及其姐妹代币 Luna 的失败引发了加密货币市场更广泛的低迷，影响了比特币 (BTC) 等成熟的数字资产。

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have charged him with multiple counts, including securities fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud, and conspiracy. However, Do Kwon has consistently denied any wrongdoing, asserting that he acted transparently regarding the workings of his products.

曼哈顿的联邦检察官指控他多项罪名，包括证券欺诈、电汇欺诈、商品欺诈和共谋。然而，Do Kwon 一直否认有任何不当行为，声称他对其产品的运作采取透明的态度。

In a significant development last June, Kwon agreed to pay an $80 million civil fine to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as part of a $4.55 billion settlement related to his company, Terraform Labs.

去年 6 月取得的重大进展是，Kwon 同意向美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 支付 8000 万美元民事罚款，作为与其公司 Terraform Labs 相关的 45.5 亿美元和解协议的一部分。

As part of the settlement, Do Kwon also accepted a ban on future cryptocurrency transactions. Despite this, Kwon’s legal challenges are far from over, as he faces the potential for criminal penalties in the US judicial system.

作为和解协议的一部分，Do Kwon 还接受了未来加密货币交易的禁令。尽管如此，权的法律挑战还远未结束，因为他可能在美国司法系统中面临刑事处罚。

During a civil trial in April, a federal jury found Kwon and Terraform Labs liable for defrauding investors. Closing arguments from Terraform’s legal team contended that Kwon had been truthful about his products, even as they failed. However, Do Kwon was absent from the trial due to his detention in Montenegro.

在 4 月份的民事审判中，联邦陪审团裁定 Kwon 和 Terraform Labs 对欺诈投资者负有责任。 Terraform 法律团队的结案陈词认为，Kwon 对他的产品是诚实的，即使他们失败了。然而，道权因被拘留在黑山而缺席审判。

A Critical Test For Cryptocurrency Regulation?

加密货币监管的关键考验？

As Bitcoinist reported, Montenegro’s Minister of Justice, Bojan Božović, signed the extradition order for Kwon last week, rejecting South Korea’s request for his return. This decision came after a legal battle that involved extradition requests from both the US and South Korea for over a year.

据 Bitcoinist 报道，黑山司法部长 Bojan Bozović 上周签署了 Kwon 的引渡令，拒绝了韩国的引渡请求。这一决定是在美国和韩国的引渡请求经过一年多的法律斗争之后做出的。

Do Kwon joins a growing list of cryptocurrency executives facing legal repercussions following the market’s downturn in 2022.

随着 2022 年市场低迷，Do Kwon 加入了越来越多面临法律后果的加密货币高管行列。

Notable figures include Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the collapsed FTX exchange, who is currently appealing a 25-year sentence for defrauding customers, and Alex Mashinsky, former CEO of Celsius Network, who recently pleaded guilty to fraud charges.

值得注意的人物包括倒闭的 FTX 交易所创始人 Sam Bankman-Fried，他目前正在对因欺诈客户而被判 25 年的刑期提出上诉，以及摄氏度网络前首席执行官 Alex Mashinsky，他最近承认了欺诈指控。

As Kwon prepares for his court appearance, the outcome could have significant implications for the future of cryptocurrency regulation and investor protection.

当 Kwon 准备出庭时，结果可能会对加密货币监管和投资者保护的未来产生重大影响。

The courtroom drama is poised to draw considerable attention, not only due to Kwon’s high-profile status but also because of the broader impact his case may have on the rapidly digital currency landscape.

这场法庭戏剧预计会引起相当大的关注，不仅因为权的高调地位，还因为他的案件可能对快速发展的数字货币格局产生更广泛的影响。
