Logan Paul 被指控在加密货币认可方面误导 YouTube 观众

洛根·保罗 (Logan Paul) 是社交媒体领域最著名的人物之一，拥有超过 2300 万 YouTube 订阅者，他再次成为争议的焦点。

Social media star Logan Paul is once again facing fresh allegations, this time regarding his cryptocurrency endorsements.

社交媒体明星洛根保罗再次面临新的指控，这次是关于他的加密货币背书。

A report by the BBC on Wednesday, based on new evidence, alleges that Paul promoted crypto investments without disclosing his financial involvement in them. This raises questions about the transparency and ethics of his practices as an influencer.

英国广播公司 (BBC) 周三根据新证据发布的一份报告称，保罗在未披露其财务参与情况的情况下推动了加密货币投资。这引发了人们对他作为影响者的做法的透明度和道德的质疑。

The claims against Paul suggest that he engaged in a “pump and dump” scheme, where he allegedly encouraged the promotion of certain cryptocurrencies to artificially inflate their value. This would have allowed him to sell off his holdings at inflated prices, potentially profiting at the expense of other investors.

针对保罗的指控表明，他参与了“拉高抛售”计划，据称他鼓励推广某些加密货币，人为地抬高其价值。这将使他能够以高价出售所持股份，从而有可能以牺牲其他投资者的利益为代价来获利。

According to the BBC, Paul's endorsements are said to have driven price surges, allowing him to benefit financially from the increased value of tokens, leaving other investors at a disadvantage when prices plummeted.

据英国广播公司报道，据说保罗的背书推动了价格飙升，使他能够从代币价值的增加中获得经济利益，而当价格暴跌时，其他投资者则处于不利地位。

This isn't the first time Paul has been embroiled in a crypto-related dispute. The YouTube star is currently facing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit over his failed crypto venture CryptoZoo.

这并不是保罗第一次卷入与加密货币相关的纠纷。这位 YouTube 明星目前正因其失败的加密货币企业 CryptoZoo 面临数百万美元的诉讼。

The project, which promised rewards for users investing in digital assets, was criticized for its poor execution, leading to significant losses for investors. Despite the growing accusations, Paul has denied any wrongdoing.

该项目承诺为投资数字资产的用户提供奖励，但因执行不力而受到批评，导致投资者遭受重大损失。尽管指控越来越多，保罗否认有任何不当行为。

Paul is among a growing list of celebrities facing backlash over crypto investments. Earlier this year, Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner was named in a class-action lawsuit by disgruntled investors who claimed she misled them into buying a failing crypto token called JENNER.

保罗是越来越多因加密投资而面临强烈反对的名人之一。今年早些时候，奥运金牌得主凯特琳·詹纳 (Caitlyn Jenner) 被心怀不满的投资者提起集体诉讼，他们声称她误导他们购买了一种名为 JENNER 的失败加密代币。

The lawsuit, filed in California federal court, accuses Jenner and her manager, Sophia Hutchins, of fraudulently promoting JENNER as an unregistered security.

该诉讼向加州联邦法院提起，指控詹纳和她的经理索菲亚·哈钦斯（Sophia Hutchins）欺诈性地将詹纳推销为未注册的证券。

Similarly, singer and dancer Jason Derulo has faced allegations related to a “pump and dump” scheme after his token, $JASON, saw a staggering 6,000% surge on June 23, 2024, only to crash the following day. Despite the volatility, $JASON reached a market cap of $5 million before plummeting.

同样，歌手兼舞者 Jason Derulo 也面临与“拉高抛售”计划相关的指控，因为他的代币 $JASON 在 2024 年 6 月 23 日飙升了 6,000%，但第二天就崩盘了。尽管存在波动，$JASON 的市值在暴跌之前仍达到了 500 万美元。

In 2023, eight celebrities, including Jake Paul and Lindsay Lohan, were charged by US regulators for allegedly participating in a crypto scam. They were accused of using their platforms to artificially boost two crypto tokens without disclosing that they were paid to promote them.

2023 年，包括杰克·保罗 (Jake Paul) 和林赛·罗韩 (Lindsay Lohan) 在内的八名名人因涉嫌参与加密货币诈骗而被美国监管机构指控。他们被指控利用自己的平台人为地提升两种加密代币的价格，但没有透露他们是为了推广这些代币而获得报酬的。

High-profile celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Floyd Mayweather have also been at the center of crypto controversies. In 2022, a group of bereaved investors who lost their money after investing in the project filed a class action suit against the duo in the US District Court for the Central District of California.

金·卡戴珊 (Kim Kardashian) 和弗洛伊德·梅威瑟 (Floyd Mayweather) 等知名名人也一直处于加密货币争议的中心。 2022年，一群在投资该项目后遭受损失的失去亲人的投资者向美国加利福尼亚州中区地方法院对两人提起集体诉讼。

Although the lawsuit was later dismissed, Kardashian faced another legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The case was eventually settled with Kardashian paying up to $1.26 million in penalties and fees.

尽管诉讼后来被驳回，但卡戴珊面临着与美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的另一场法律诉讼。该案最终以卡戴珊支付高达 126 万美元的罚款和费用达成和解。
