NFT Trader面临最高6年的监禁，以1300万美元的税收逃税

韦伦·威尔科克斯（Waylon Wilcox）是一位45岁的NFT交易员，在认罪后，在联邦监狱中面临长达六年的监狱面临，从而低估了交易高价值的Cryptopunks NFTS的近1300万美元的利润。

A deep-set involvement in the world of NFTs has landed an NFT trader in hot water with the law, leading to a plea bargain that could see him face up to six years in prison and hefty fines.

在NFTS世界上进行了深入的参与，已与法律一起在热水中找到了NFT商人，导致了辩诉交易，可以看到他面临最高六年的监禁和高额罚款。

45-year-old Waylon Wilcox has admitted to evading nearly $13 million in income taxes over a two-year period, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The charges stem from Wilcox’s involvement in trading high-value CryptoPunks NFTs, one of the most valuable NFT collections with a market cap of $687 million.

根据宾夕法尼亚州中部检察官办公室的说法，45岁的Waylon Wilcox已承认在两年内逃避了近1300万美元的所得税。这些指控源于威尔科克斯（Wilcox）参与交易高价值Cryptopunks NFTS，这是最有价值的NFT收藏之一，市值为6.87亿美元。

In April 2022, Wilcox filed a false tax return for 2021, claiming significantly less than his actual income. He underreported his income by $8.5 million and reduced his tax liability by approximately $2.1 million. The following year, he committed the same offense, this time underreporting an additional $4.6 million in income and dodging another $1.1 million in taxes.

2022年4月，威尔科克斯（Wilcox）于2021年提交了虚假的纳税申报表，声称其实际收入大大少得多。他将收入减少了850万美元，并将其纳税责任减少了约210万美元。次年，他犯了同样的罪行，这次报道了额外的460万美元收入，并避免了110万美元的税款。

The combined charges could land Wilcox with:

合并的指控可以通过：

• Five years of imprisonment and a maximum $250,000 fine for each count of filing a false return.

•五年监禁和最高$ 250,000的罚款，每项提交虚假申报表。

• One year of imprisonment and a maximum $100,000 fine for each count of failing to pay income tax.

•一年的监禁和最高$ 100,000的罚款，每项不缴纳所得税。

Wilcox is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge John R. Williams on January 9, 2024.

威尔科克斯计划于2024年1月9日由美国地方法院法官约翰·威廉姆斯（John R. Williams）判刑。

“The IRS Criminal Investigation unit is committed to uncovering complex schemes using digital assets and NFTs to hide taxable income,” said Special Agent Yury Kruty of the IRS Philadelphia Field Office. “Tax evaders should be aware that no matter how sophisticated the attempt, our investigators are dedicated to holding violators accountable for their actions.”

“国税局刑事调查部门致力于使用数字资产和NFT揭示复杂的计划，以隐藏应税收入，”费城国税局（IRS Philadelphia Field Office）的特工尤里·克鲁蒂（Yury Kruty）说。 “逃税者应该意识到，无论尝试多么复杂，我们的调查人员都致力于使违规者对其行为负责。”

The case is part of the IRS’s expanded effort to tighten crypto tax enforcement, especially after new 2024 regulations began requiring third-party reporting for crypto exchanges.

该案是美国国税局（IRS）扩大努力以加强加密税务执行的一部分，尤其是在2024年新法规开始要求加密交易所报告的第三方报告之后。

As the dust settles on the Trump administration's final acts, a surprising move has come to light: overturning a Biden-era IRS rule that would have imposed tax reporting obligations on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.

随着特朗普政府最终行动的尘埃落定，令人惊讶的举动已经揭示：推翻了拜登时代的IRS规则，该规则本来可以对分散财务（DEFI）平台施加税收报告义务。

The original rule, set to take effect in 2027, was widely criticized as overly broad, prompting bipartisan support for its cancellation. A joint resolution to that effect passed both the House and Senate with overwhelming majorities, finally reaching President Donald Trump's desk for signature.

原定于2027年生效的原始规则被广泛批评为过于广泛，促使两党支持其取消。这一影响的共同决议通过了众议院和参议院的绝大多数，最后到达唐纳德·特朗普总统的办公桌以签名。

The rule, which fell under Section 12 of the Administrative Procedures Act, aimed to require third-party reporters, such as DeFi platforms and mixers, to collect and report some types of taxpayer data to the IRS. It was part of a broader effort by the Biden administration to increase tax collection from digital assets.

根据《行政程序法》第12条的规则，旨在要求第三方记者（例如Defi平台和混音器）向IRS收集和报告某些类型的纳税人数据。拜登政府为增加数字资产的税收收集而更广泛地努力。

However, critics argued that the rule was poorly defined and could create significant compliance burdens for DeFi platforms, many of which are foreign-based and not subject to U.S. tax laws. They also expressed concern that it could be used to monitor and track the transactions of individual crypto users, violating their privacy rights.

但是，批评家认为，该规则的定义很差，可能会给Defi平台带来巨大的合规负担，其中许多平台是外国的，不受美国税法的约束。他们还表示关注，可以用来监视和跟踪单个加密使用者的交易，侵犯其隐私权。

"This is a clear victory for crypto privacy and limited government," said Steve An, a legal expert at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in blockchain and cryptocurrency. "The rule was overly broad and would have had a chilling effect on innovation in the DeFi space."

加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的法律专家史蒂夫（Steve An）说：“这是加密隐私和有限政府的明显胜利。” “该规则过于广泛，会对在Defi空间中的创新产生令人恐惧的影响。”

As crypto regulation heats up, some experts believe that stablecoin legislation and crypto banking reforms should come before new tax policies.

随着加密法规的加剧，一些专家认为，稳定的立法和加密银行改革应该在新的税收政策之前进行。

"We need to see more targeted and efficient regulatory frameworks rather than these large-scale, blanket rules," An added.

一个补充说：“我们需要看到更多有针对性，有效的监管框架，而不是这些大规模的毯子规则。”

This resolution marks one of the final acts of the Trump administration as it winds down, setting the stage for the Biden administration to continue its own agenda in the coming years.

该决议标志着特朗普政府陷入困境的最终行为之一，为拜登政府在未来几年中继续自己的议程奠定了基础。
