Taiwan Prosecutors Seek Extended Prison Sentences for Suspects in ACE Exchange Fraud and Money Laundering Case

台湾检方寻求延长 ACE 交易所欺诈和洗钱案嫌疑人的刑期

Taipei, Taiwan - Prosecutors in Taiwan have recommended a minimum 20-year prison sentence for the four principal suspects involved in a large-scale fraud and money laundering scheme related to the cryptocurrency trading platform ACE Exchange.

台湾台北 - 台湾检察官建议对参与与加密货币交易平台 ACE Exchange 相关的大规模欺诈和洗钱计划的四名主要嫌疑人判处至少 20 年监禁。

The indictments, filed by the Taipei District Prosecutors' Office, target 32 individuals on charges of fraud and money laundering. The key figures implicated include ACE Exchange founder David Pan, his business associate Lin Keng-hong, and renowned attorney Wang Chen-huan, who held the position of chairman of the exchange.

台北地检署针对 32 名个人提起欺诈和洗钱指控。牵涉的关键人物包括ACE交易所创始人潘大伟、其商业伙伴林景宏，以及担任交易所董事长的著名律师王振焕。

Over 1,200 individuals are alleged to have fallen victim to the scheme, resulting in an estimated financial loss of 800 million New Taiwan dollars (approximately $24.56 million). This represents a significant increase from the previously estimated loss of 340 million New Taiwan dollars ($10.6 million) and is said to justify the severity of the recommended sentences.

据称有超过 1,200 人成为该计划的受害者，估计造成 8 亿新台币（约 2,456 万美元）的经济损失。这比之前估计的 3.4 亿新台币（1,060 万美元）损失大幅增加，据说这证明了建议判处的严厉刑罚是合理的。

Prosecutors have further suggested a minimum sentence of 12 years for Wang, citing his position as a director of a prominent law firm and his alleged facilitation of the fraudulent activities.

检察官进一步建议对王至少判处 12 年徒刑，理由是他担任一家著名律师事务所的董事，并涉嫌协助欺诈活动。

In January 2024, Taipei City police detained Pan and 14 other individuals associated with the case, executing search warrants at various locations, including ACE's headquarters. The investigation uncovered Pan's involvement with the fraudulent cryptocurrency wallet service known as "Alfred" or "Afu wallet," as well as a corresponding crypto card.

2024 年 1 月，台北市警方在包括 ACE 总部在内的多个地点执行搜查令，拘留了潘和其他 14 名与此案有关的人员。调查发现潘参与了名为“Alfred”或“Afu wallet”的欺诈性加密货币钱包服务以及相应的加密卡。

According to the prosecution's findings, from 2019 onwards, the suspects fraudulently promoted investments in NFTC tokens, bitnature coins, mochange (an ACE Exchange token), and other digital assets. White papers and promotional materials were used to establish credibility and lure investors.

根据检方调查结果，从2019年起，犯罪嫌疑人以欺诈方式推销NFTC代币、bitnature币、mochange（ACE交易所代币）等数字资产的投资。白皮书和宣传材料被用来建立信誉并吸引投资者。

During the promotional campaign, Pan and Lin sought to establish ACE Exchange as Asia's most comprehensive blockchain ecosystem for cryptocurrency trading. However, many investors experienced a substantial decline in the value of the tokens and were unable to convert them back into New Taiwan dollars as promised. The ensuing complaints prompted a legal investigation.

在推广活动中，Pan 和 Lin 寻求将 ACE Exchange 打造为亚洲最全面的加密货币交易区块链生态系统。然而，许多投资者经历了代币价值的大幅下跌，无法按照承诺将其兑换回新台币。随后的投诉引发了法律调查。

A Taiwanese court has reportedly authorized the seizure of the defendants' assets, with confiscated funds amounting to at least 3.5 million New Taiwan dollars ($110,000).

据报道，台湾一家法院已授权扣押被告的资产，没收资金至少达 350 万新台币（11 万美元）。

In response to the indictments, Ace Exchange released a statement on April 8, reiterating that Pan's fraudulent activities were not associated with the platform and that he had ceased his involvement in its daily operations in 2022.

针对起诉书，Ace Exchange 于 4 月 8 日发布声明，重申潘的欺诈活动与该平台无关，并且他已于 2022 年停止参与该平台的日常运营。

Ace Exchange is a relatively obscure centralized cryptocurrency exchange based in Taiwan. According to CoinMarketCap, the platform was established in late 2018 and currently facilitates daily trading volumes of approximately $14 million. Data from Traders Union classifies Ace Exchange as a "high-risk cryptocurrency exchange" with a trust score of 2.78 out of 10.

Ace Exchange 是一家相对默默无闻的集中式加密货币交易所，总部位于台湾。据 CoinMarketCap 称，该平台成立于 2018 年底，目前每日交易量约为 1400 万美元。 Traders Union 的数据将 Ace Exchange 归类为“高风险加密货币交易所”，信任评分为 2.78（满分 10）。

Taiwanese authorities continue to monitor global trends and regulations in the cryptocurrency market. In September, a report indicated that Taiwanese officials were considering introducing laws governing digital currencies.

台湾当局继续监控加密货币市场的全球趋势和法规。 9 月份的一份报告显示，台湾官员正在考虑出台管理数字货币的法律。
