美国证券交易委员会收费的男子据称制定了加密计划，该计划使90,000人中有90,000美元不超过2亿美元

美国证券交易委员会和联邦检察官指控他们指控的一个人创建了一项加密计划，该计划占领了90,000美元中的90,000人

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has charged a man with executing a crypto scheme that defrauded 90,000 people out of $200 million.

美国证券交易委员会已指控一名男子执行了一项加密计划，该计划欺骗了90,000美元的2亿美元。

According to the SEC, Ramil Palafox, a dual citizen of the US and the Philippines, is accused of misusing over $57 million of investor funds that were collected through his company, PGI Global, over a period of 18 months.

根据SEC的说法，美国和菲律宾的双重公民拉米尔·帕拉福克斯（Ramil Palafox）被指控滥用了超过5700万美元的投资资金，这些投资者在18个月内通过其公司PGI Global收集。

The regulator claims that Palafox applied a multilevel marketing model to carry out a “Ponzi-like” scam until the company’s collapse in 2021.

监管机构声称，Palafox采用了多层次营销模式来进行“庞氏骗局”骗局，直到该公司在2021年倒闭为止。

It is alleged that Palafox enticed investors with “false claims of crypto industry expertise and a supposed AI-powered auto-trading platform.”

据称，Palafox诱使投资者具有“加密行业专业知识和所谓的AI驱动自动交易平台”的投资者。”

Moreover, the SEC alleges that Palafox organized lavish events in Dubai and Las Vegas to recruit new members, who were offered referral bonuses to bring in others. These funds were used to pay other investors to further promote the scheme and for Palafox’s personal expenses.

此外，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）声称，帕拉福克斯（Palafox）在迪拜和拉斯维加斯（Las Vegas）组织了豪华活动，以招募新成员，他们获得了推荐奖金来吸引他人。这些资金用于支付其他投资者，以进一步促进该计划和Palafox的个人支出。

“Palafox attracted investors with the allure of guaranteed profits from sophisticated crypto asset and foreign exchange trading, but instead of trading, Palafox bought himself and his family cars, watches, and homes using millions of dollars of investor funds,” said Scott Thompson, associate director of the SEC’s Philadelphia office.

Scott Thompson说：“ Palafox通过精致的加密资产和外汇交易获得了保证的利润，吸引了投资者，但是Palafox使用数百万美元的投资者资金购买了自己和他的家族汽车，手表和房屋，而不是交易。”

The SEC is charging Palafox with violating the anti-fraud and registration provisions of the federal securities laws. The regulator is seeking a permanent injunction to ban him from future sales of securities and crypto assets, restitution of the illegally obtained gains, and civil penalties.

SEC正在指控Palafox违反了联邦证券法的反欺诈和注册规定。监管机构正在寻求永久禁令，以禁止他未来的证券和加密资产销售，赔偿非法获得的收益以及民事处罚。

Justice Department files twin action

司法部提出双动作

The SEC’s complaint follows action brought by the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, which arraigned Ramil Palafox on criminal charges.

美国证券交易委员会的投诉是在美国检察官办公室对弗吉尼亚州东部地区提起的诉讼之后，该办公室因刑事指控而提起诉讼。

According to an indictment filed on March 13, federal prosecutors charged Palafox with wire fraud, money laundering, and unlawful monetary transactions.

根据3月13日提起的起诉书，联邦检察官指控Palafox进行电汇欺诈，洗钱和非法货币交易。

Prosecutors allege that Palafox deceived investors with false promises of daily returns ranging from 0.5% to 3% from Bitcoin trading and concealed information about PGI’s profitability, licenses, and business activity.

检察官声称，Palafox以每日回报的虚假承诺欺骗了投资者，比特币交易的每日回报率从0.5％到3％不等，并隐藏了有关PGI的盈利能力，许可证和商业活动的信息。

The indictment states that Palafox informed investors that substantial returns were being generated through the company’s crypto exchanges and that “his traders were able to make money regardless of whether the price of Bitcoin was going up or down.”

起诉书指出，Palafox告诉投资者，通过公司的加密交易所获得了可观的回报，并且“他的交易者能够赚钱，无论比特币的价格上涨还是下跌，他的交易者都能赚钱。”

However, the Justice Department alleges that, in reality, most investors’ money was not used to buy or trade Bitcoin, and many lost a portion or the entirety of their funds.

但是，司法部声称，实际上，大多数投资者的钱没有用于购买或交易比特币，许多人损失了一部分或全部资金。

Among the property listed in the indictment that would be forfeited by Palafox if convicted is over $1 million in cash, 17 vehicles — including two Teslas, a Ferrari 458 Special, two Lamborghinis, and two Porsches — plus a variety of designer bags, wallets, shoes, jewelry, and watches.

在起诉书中列出的财产中，如果被定罪的情况下将被帕拉福克斯没收的财产超过100万美元现金，包括两辆特斯拉，包括两辆特斯拉，一辆法拉利458特惠，两个兰博基尼和两个保时捷 - 以及各种设计师袋，钱包，钱包，鞋子，鞋子，珠宝，珠宝和观看。

The indictment also mentions various linked companies involved in the scheme, such as the Praetorian Group International Trading Inc., whose website was seized by the Department of Justice in 2021, leading to the closure of its UK-based operations by the British High Court.

起诉书还提到了参与该计划的各种相关公司，例如Praetorian Group International Trading Inc.，其网站于2021年被司法部占领，导致英国高等法院关闭其英国业务。

This is the SEC chair's first case related to crypto. It comes after Paul Atkins, who is known for his pro-crypto stance, was sworn in for the role on April 22.

这是SEC主席与加密有关的第一个案件。这是在4月22日宣誓就职的保罗·阿特金斯（Paul Atkins）宣誓就职。

Earlier this year, the SEC brought a case against Nova Labs for allegedly selling unregistered securities by offering devices that mined the Helium (HNT) token. In April, the SEC reached a settlement with Nova Labs, resulting in the dismissal of the lawsuit and a $200,000 civil penalty.

今年早些时候，SEC提出了针对Nova Labs的案件，原因是据称通过提供开采氦气（HNT）代币的设备来出售未注册的证券。 4月，SEC与Nova Labs达成和解，导致诉讼驳回，并判处20万美元的民事罚款。
