SEC 起诉 BitClout 创始人，指控他通过未注册代币销售筹集了 2.57 亿美元

联邦证券监管机构正在起诉社交媒体项目 BitClout（现称为 DeSo）的创始人。

The founder of social media project BitClout, now known as Decentralized Social (DeSo), is being sued by federal securities regulators over the unregistered sale of the platform’s token.

社交媒体项目 BitClout（现称为 DeSo）的创始人因未经注册出售该平台代币而被联邦证券监管机构起诉。

According to the complaint filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday, Nader Al-Naji raised more than $257 million from the offering and sale of BitClout’s token, BTCLT, since November 2020.

根据美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 周三提交的诉状，自 2020 年 11 月以来，Nader Al-Naji 通过发行和销售 BitClout 的代币 BTCLT 筹集了超过 2.57 亿美元。

The regulator alleges that Al-Naji used more than $7 million of the proceeds for personal expenditures, including a Beverly Hills lease payment and large cash gifts, despite stating that investor funds would not be used to compensate him or other BitClout employees.

监管机构指控 Al-Naji 将超过 700 万美元的收益用于个人支出，包括比佛利山庄的租金和大笔现金礼物，尽管他表示投资者资金不会用于补偿他或其他 BitClout 员工。

The SEC also claims that Al-Naji launched the platform using the pseudonym “Diamondhands” to give the impression that the project is autonomous and decentralized without a controlling company, when he was actually the one controlling it.

美国证券交易委员会还声称，Al-Naji 使用化名“Diamondhands”启动了该平台，给人留下该项目是自主且去中心化的印象，没有控股公司，而实际上他才是该项目的控制者。

“In addition, Al-Naji allegedly secured a letter from a prominent law firm opining, based on his mischaracterizations of the nature of his project, that BTCLT were not likely to be deemed securities under federal law.”

“此外，据称 Al-Naji 还获得了一家著名律师事务所的一封信，该律师事务所认为，基于他对项目性质的错误描述，根据联邦法律，BTCLT 不太可能被视为证券。”

Al-Naji is accused of violating the registration and anti-fraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the anti-fraud provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Al-Naji 被指控违反 1933 年《证券法》的注册和反欺诈条款以及 1934 年《证券交易法》的反欺诈条款。

In 2021, billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya revealed that DeSo is part of his basket of investments to hedge against inflation.

2021 年，亿万富翁投资者查马斯·帕里哈皮蒂亚 (Chamath Palihapitiya) 透露，DeSo 是他对冲通胀一揽子投资的一部分。

The price of a DESO token is currently $8.00, down 23.87% over the last 24 hours.

DESO 代币的价格目前为 8.00 美元，在过去 24 小时内下跌了 23.87%。
