梅嫩德斯的宣判定于 10 月 29 日进行,他可能面临数十年的监禁。
A U.S. senator who once called bitcoin (BTC) "an ideal choice for criminals" has now been convicted of accepting bribes, including gold bars and a luxury car, in exchange for his political clout.
一位曾经称比特币(BTC)为“犯罪分子的理想选择”的美国参议员现在被判收受贿赂,包括金条和一辆豪华汽车,以换取他的政治影响力。
A jury found Democratic Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey guilty on Tuesday of accepting the bribes from a wealthy donor and close friend, Salomon Melgen, over a seven-year period, according to a report by Reuters.
据路透社报道,周二,陪审团裁定新泽西州民主党参议员鲍勃·梅嫩德斯 (Bob Menendez) 罪名成立,罪名是在七年的时间里收受富有的捐助者兼亲密朋友所罗门·梅尔根 (Salomon Melgen) 的贿赂。
Menendez, a staunch crypto critic, was also a co-sponsor of a bill titled the "Accountability for Cryptocurrency in El Salvador (ACES) Act." The bill would have required the State Department to report on mitigating risks to the U.S. financial system from El Salvador's adoption of bitcoin as legal tender.
梅嫩德斯是一位坚定的加密货币批评家,也是一项名为“萨尔瓦多加密货币问责制 (ACES) 法案”的法案的共同发起人。该法案将要求国务院报告萨尔瓦多采用比特币作为法定货币对美国金融体系带来的风险的缓解情况。
The senator's conviction sparked reactions from the crypto community, with some members highlighting the irony of the situation.
这位参议员的定罪引发了加密货币社区的反应,一些成员强调了这种情况的讽刺性。
"While Senator Menendez was hiding bars of ill-gotten gold ... President Bukele was establishing the most transparent government in the world by posting El Salvador’s public bitcoin address for all the world to audit," wrote Stacy Herbert, a member of The National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) of El Salvador under President Nayib Bukele, in an op-ed for X.
国家党成员史黛西·赫伯特 (Stacy Herbert) 写道:“当梅嫩德斯参议员藏匿不义之财时……布克莱总统正在通过发布萨尔瓦多的公共比特币地址供全世界审计来建立世界上最透明的政府。”总统纳伊布·布克莱 (Nayib Bukele) 领导下的萨尔瓦多比特币办公室 (ONBTC),在 X 的一篇专栏文章中。
"The malign actor was Bob Menendez. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which Menendez chairs, owes President Bukele and El Salvador an apology," Herbert added.
“恶意演员是鲍勃·梅嫩德斯。梅嫩德斯担任主席的参议院外交关系委员会欠布克莱总统和萨尔瓦多道歉,”赫伯特补充道。
Menendez, who is the first sitting member of Congress to be convicted of acting as a foreign agent, maintained his innocence after the verdict.
梅嫩德斯是第一位因充当外国代理人而被定罪的现任国会议员,判决后坚称自己无罪。
"I have never been anything but a patriot of my country and for my country. I have never, ever been a foreign agent," Menendez said outside the courthouse.
“我从来都是我的国家和我的国家的爱国者。我从来都不是外国特工,”梅南德斯在法院外说道。
"This wasn’t politics as usual; this was politics for profit," said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams in a statement. "Because Senator Menendez has now been found guilty, his years of selling his office to the highest bidder have finally come to an end."
美国检察官达米安·威廉姆斯在一份声明中表示:“这不是通常的政治;这是为了利润的政治。” “由于梅南德斯参议员现在被判有罪,他多年将办公室卖给最高出价者的做法终于结束了。”
Menendez has been a congressperson since 1993, entering the Senate in 2006. Despite numerous calls from senior colleagues to resign, including Democratic Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer, Menendez has refused to do so.
梅南德斯自 1993 年以来一直担任国会议员,并于 2006 年进入参议院。尽管包括民主党参议院多数党领袖查克·舒默在内的高级同事多次呼吁辞职,但梅南德斯拒绝这样做。
Menendez's sentencing has been scheduled for October 29. He could face decades in prison.
梅嫩德斯的宣判定于 10 月 29 日进行。他可能面临数十年的监禁。
