韩国判决加密欺诈者入狱

在韩国釜山地方法院的一项具有里程碑意义的裁决中，三人因精心策划一个复杂的加密货币骗局而被判处监禁

South Korea's Busan District Court has sentenced three individuals to prison for defrauding investors of 610 million Korean won (about $416,000) with a cryptocurrency scam. The men, convicted under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes, deceived victims by promising high returns from a "proprietary trading algorithm" that could select 1,000 top-tier cryptocurrencies worldwide and generate monthly profits of 30%.

韩国釜山地方法院因用加密货币骗局欺骗6 1.1亿韩国韩元（约合416,000美元）的投资者而判处三人入狱。这些男子因加重对特定经济犯罪的严重惩罚而被定罪，他们承诺从“专有贸易算法”中获得高回报，从而欺骗了受害者，这些算法可以选择全球1,000名顶级加密货币，并每月获得30％的每月利润。

However, as the court ruling highlighted, this algorithm was a fabrication designed to deceive victims. The three men, identified only by their family names, systematically exploited the public's interest in cryptocurrencies, fabricating a tale of a global trading network and promising astronomical returns.

但是，正如法院裁定所强调的那样，该算法是一种旨在欺骗受害者的制造。这三个人仅以他们的姓氏来确定，系统地利用了公众对加密货币的兴趣，构成了全球交易网络的故事，并有希望的天文回报。

The ringleader, Kim, received a four-and-a-half-year prison sentence, while his two accomplices, Lee and Jo, were sentenced to three-and-a-half and two-and-a-half years, respectively. The judge expressed the severity of their crimes, noting that they had exploited the trust of the victims and undermined the fabric of the financial system with their actions.

头目金（Kim）被判四年半徒刑，而他的两个同伙李和乔（Lee and Jo）分别判处三年半和两年半徒刑。法官表达了罪行的严重性，并指出他们利用了受害者的信任，并以其行动破坏了金融体系的结构。

The sentence also highlighted the broader context of cryptocurrency participation in South Korea. According to new figures provided by Rep. Cha Gyu-geun of the Rebuilding Korea Party, 16.29 million South Koreans—nearly a third of the population—were involved in crypto investments by February 2025. These figures also show that one in five of the 2,047 government workers who filed asset declarations this year held cryptocurrency.

该句子还强调了加密货币参与韩国的更广泛背景。根据由重建韩国党的众议员Cha Gyu-Geun提供的新数字，韩国人162.9万韩国人（几乎是三分之一的人口）在2025年2月之前参与了加密货币投资。这些数字还表明，在本年度申请了Cryptocipurnenty的2,047名政府工作人员中，有2,047名政府工作人员中有五人。

This case also marks a crucial development in South Korea's persistent efforts to combat the growing tide of crypto crime. As reported by CC, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office established a Joint Investigation Unit (JIU) for Virtual Asset Crimes in response to the increasing number of fraud cases.

此案还标志着韩国为消除加密犯罪潮流而持续的努力的关键发展。据CC报道，首尔南部地区检察官办公室为虚拟资产犯罪建立了一个联合调查部门（JIU），以应对欺诈案件的越来越多。

This 35-member team, comprising prosecutors and regulators from the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service, was initially a temporary task force formed in 2023 to counter the rising crypto fraud, but it has now become a permanent fixture.

由金融服务委员会和金融监督服务部门组成的35名成员组成的团队最初是在2023年成立的临时工作组，以应对加密货币的上升欺诈行为，但现在已成为永久性的固定装置。

This ruling serves as a stark warning to potential fraudsters; the legal system in South Korea will not tolerate manipulation in the crypto world.

这项裁决向潜在的欺诈者发出了鲜明的警告。韩国的法律制度将不容忍加密世界中的操纵。
