两名韩国男子因涉嫌操纵 Bithumb 加密货币交易所 ACE 代币价格而被捕。

Two South Korean men were arrested for allegedly manipulating the price of the ACE token on the Bithumb cryptocurrency exchange. The men are charged with scamming some $5 million through illegal price manipulation.

两名韩国男子因涉嫌操纵 Bithumb 加密货币交易所 ACE 代币价格而被捕。这些人被指控通过非法价格操纵诈骗约 500 万美元。

According to a local media source, Mr. Lee, 33, the CEO of a virtual asset company and Mr. Kang, 28, a former employee, were arrested by the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office on January 3. Prosecutors charged them for violating the “Virtual Asset User Protection Act.” They made illicit profits of around 7.1 billion won (roughly $5 million), the prosecution says.

据当地媒体消息称，1月3日，一家虚拟资产公司的首席执行官李先生（33岁）和前雇员康先生（28岁）被首尔南部地方检察官办公室逮捕。检察官指控他们违反了《刑事诉讼法》。 《虚拟资产用户保护法》。检方称，他们非法获利约 71 亿韩元（约合 500 万美元）。

The men had manipulated the price of ACE, an otherwise virtual token only listed on South Korean exchange Bithumb, by posted fake orders. Using different methods they tricked other traders. For instance, they faked such high trading activity by placing fake buy orders and market orders. This made the market appear booming and more and more people started to trade ACE.

这些人通过发布虚假订单操纵了 ACE 的价格，ACE 是一种仅在韩国交易所 Bithumb 上市的虚拟代币。他们使用不同的方法欺骗其他交易者。例如，他们通过下虚假买单和市价单来伪造如此高的交易活动。这使得市场显得繁荣，越来越多的人开始交易 ACE。

Bithumb ACE Token Price Manipulation Sparks 15x Trading Surge

Bithumb ACE 代币价格操纵引发 15 倍交易激增

The two men then sold around 1.22 million ACE tokens, pushing the price, the prosecutors claim. And they got rich by fooling others into buying. ACE trading on Bithumb saw a 15x increase in trading volume in just one day. Currently, the trading volume of ACE tokens is about 2.45 million, as the last figures were recorded on July 22, 2024. The fact that their manipulation caused a sudden spike in trading activity proved the constant capitalization wrong.

检察官称，两人随后出售了约 122 万枚 ACE 代币，推高了价格。他们通过欺骗别人购买而致富。 Bithumb 上的 ACE 交易量在短短一天内增长了 15 倍。目前，ACE 代币的交易量约为 245 万，最新数据记录于 2024 年 7 月 22 日。其操纵行为导致交易活动突然激增的事实证明了恒定资本化的错误。

The Fast Track terminology is important because this case is the first one to be processed through the system. The Financial Services Commission implemented this in October 2024 to speed up processing for types of violations regarding virtual assets. The fast track system allows crypto market more quickly to detect price manipulation and other illegal activities.

快速通道术语很重要，因为此案例是系统处理的第一个案例。金融服务委员会于 2024 年 10 月实施了这一举措，以加快对虚拟资产违规类型的处理。快速通道系统使加密货币市场能够更快地检测价格操纵和其他非法活动。

This case exemplifies the rising trend with regard to cryptocurrency market manipulation, explained the prosecutors’ office. However, they are treating it seriously and keeping on the investigation.

检察官办公室解释说，这起案件体现了加密货币市场操纵的上升趋势。不过，他们正在认真对待此事，并继续调查。

If convicted, Mr. Lee and Mr. Kang face severe penalties. It should be a warning to other crypto market players. This demonstrates that it is illegal to manipulate prices for one’s own gain and that the consequences can be severe. Investors are also urged to look out for misleading market trends.

如果罪名成立，李先生和康先生将面临严厉的处罚。这应该是对其他加密货币市场参与者的警告。这表明操纵价格谋取私利是违法的，后果可能很严重。还敦促投资者留意误导性的市场趋势。
