从Minecraft Gamer到臭名昭著的加密骗子：20岁的Malone Lam Yu Xuan如何实现2.4亿美元的比特币抢劫

新加坡：新加坡马龙·林·徐安（Malone Lam Yu Xuan）在20岁时，已经从成为在线游戏爱好者到美国历史上最臭名昭著的加密货币骗子之一。

At just 20 years old, Singaporean Malone Lam Yu Xuan has become one of the most notorious cryptocurrency scammers in US history.

新加坡马龙·拉姆·徐安（Malone Lam Yu Xuan）仅20岁，已成为美国历史上最臭名昭著的加密货币骗子之一。

Best known for his role in a US$240 million (S$321 million) Bitcoin heist, one of the largest cryptocurrency thefts ever recorded, Lam is now facing two indictments for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering, each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Lam以其在有史以来最大的加密货币盗窃罪之一（3.21亿新元）的比特币抢劫案中而闻名，Lam目前面临两次起诉，因为他们串谋犯有电汇欺诈和洗钱，每次都判处20年徒刑。

Previously a regular participant in Minecraft gaming communities, Lam built a reputation under aliases like “Greavys,” “Anne Hathaway,” and “Malone” before transitioning into cybercrime, stealing and selling gaming accounts before advancing to scamming cryptocurrency.

Lam以前是Minecraft游戏社区的定期参与者，在“ Greavys”，“ Anne Hathaway”和“ Malone”之类的别名下建立了声誉，然后过渡到网络犯罪，窃取和销售游戏帐户，然后才能促进骗取加密货币。

According to The Straits Times (ST), Lam, along with his 21-year-old American accomplice, Jeandiel Serrano, allegedly stole 4,100 Bitcoins from a single victim between Aug 18 and 19.

根据《海峡时报》（ST），林以及他的21岁的美国同伙珍妮·塞拉诺（Jeandiel Serrano）据称在8月18日至19日之间从一名受害者那里偷走了4,100个比特币。

Their extravagant spending spree, which included luxury supercars, private jets, and million-dollar watches, quickly attracted the attention of US authorities, leading to their arrests.

他们奢侈的支出狂欢，包括豪华超级跑车，私人喷气机和百万美元的手表，很快引起了美国当局的注意，导致他们被捕。

Lam’s sudden wealth was common knowledge in the U.S., especially within social media circles. Despite entering the U.S. in October 2023 on a 90-day visa, which expired in January 2024, Lam remained illegally in the country.

林的突然财富是美国的常识，尤其是在社交媒体界。尽管2023年10月以90天的签证进入美国，该签证于2024年1月到期，但Lam仍在该国非法。

During this time, he developed a taste for the “post and boast” lifestyle, a trend where individuals flaunt their wealth through lavish purchases and extravagant parties.

在这段时间里，他对“邮报”的生活方式产生了一种品味，这种趋势是个人通过大量购买和奢侈的聚会炫耀自己的财富的趋势。

Between August and September 2024, Lam spent recklessly purchasing 31 luxury cars, including a US$3.8 million Pagani Huayra, a US$1 million Lamborghini Revuelto, and multiple custom Ferraris and Porsches. He also rented mansions in Miami, with one residence costing US$68,000 a month, and indulged in extravagant nightclub experiences, spending up to US$500,000 per night on alcohol and bottle service.

在2024年8月至9月之间，Lam鲁ck购买了31辆豪华汽车，其中包括380万美元的Pagani Huayra，100万美元的兰博基尼Revuelto，以及多辆定制的Ferraris和Porsches。他还在迈阿密租了豪宅，一个住所每月耗资68,000美元，沉迷于奢侈的夜总会体验，每晚在酒精和瓶装服务上度过高达500,000美元。

Social media influencers and nightclub staff confirmed his excessive spending, with one describing meeting Lam at a nightclub where he casually handed out Hermès Birkin bags to strangers.

社交媒体影响者和夜总会工作人员证实了他的过度支出，其中一位在夜总会中描述了Lam，在那里他随便将爱马仕的伯金袋交给陌生人。

On one occasion, he allegedly spent US$569,528.39 in a single night, purchasing 55 bottles of Grey Goose, 48 bottles of Ace of Spade Brut champagne, and multiple designer accessories.

据称，有一次他在一个晚上花了569,528.39美元，购买了55瓶灰鹅，48瓶Ace ace of Spade Brut Champagne和多个设计师配件。

Lam’s fraudulent empire began to unravel in September 2024 when US investigators were closing in on his whereabouts.

林的欺诈性帝国于2024年9月开始解散，当时美国调查人员正在关闭他的下落。

Serrano was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on Sep 18 after returning from a holiday in the Maldives.

塞拉诺（Serrano）从马尔代夫的假期返回，于18月18日在洛杉矶国际机场被捕。

Upon interrogation, Serrano’s girlfriend tipped off Lam, prompting him to immediately delete his Telegram account in an attempt to obstruct justice, according to court documents cited by ST.

根据ST的法庭文件，询问后，Serrano的女友倾斜了Lam，立即删除了他的电报帐户，以阻止正义。

However, despite Lam’s efforts to evade capture, investigators tracked his movements through his high-profile spending habits.

但是，尽管林努力逃避捕获，但调查人员通过他的备受瞩目的支出习惯跟踪了他的动作。

One key mistake was Lam’s name being displayed on a banner at an exclusive nightclub, leading authorities to confirm his location.

一个关键的错误是Lam的名字在一家独家夜总会的横幅上显示，这是当局确认他的位置。

On Sep 21, Lam was arrested while attempting to flee Miami in a private jet.

9月21日，林在试图逃离私人飞机的迈阿密时被捕。

US prosecutors have described Lam as a sophisticated cryptocurrency fraudster with the ability to execute large-scale cybercrimes from anywhere in the world.

美国检察官将LAM描述为一个复杂的加密货币欺诈者，能够从世界任何地方执行大规模的网络犯罪。

“[Lam] can do those kinds of hacking from anywhere, and there is no reasonable combination of conditions that pre-trial services can implement that will prevent his ability to further exploit crypto investors throughout the country,” argued Prosecutor Jonathan Stratton against granting him bail.

检察官乔纳森·斯特拉顿（Jonathan Stratton）说：“ [LAM]可以从任何地方进行这些黑客攻击，并且没有合理的条件结合，预审前服务可以阻止他在全国范围内进一步利用加密货币投资者的能力。”

Following his arrest, Lam remains in detention and awaits trial. His lawyer, Scott Armstrong, recently filed a notice confirming Lam’s intention to proceed to trial by jury, with a court date set for Oct 6, 2025.

被捕后，林仍被拘留和等待审判。他的律师斯科特·阿姆斯特朗（Scott Armstrong）最近提交了一份通知，该通知确认了林打算继续陪审团审判，并定于2025年10月6日举行开庭日期。

At the time of his arrest, US$70 million had been recovered or frozen on various crypto exchanges. However, investigators believe that over US$100 million in stolen Bitcoin remains unaccounted for.

在他被捕时，在各种加密交易所进行了7000万美元的收回或冻结。但是，调查人员认为，超过1亿美元的被盗比特币仍未得到责任。

Serrano had US$20 million of stolen Bitcoin stored on his phone, which he later agreed to transfer to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

塞拉诺（Serrano）在手机上存储了2000万美元的被盗比特币，后来他同意将其转移到联邦调查局（FBI）。
