Terraform Labs 因 Terra 区块链欺诈而面临数十亿美元的损失

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 寻求对 Terraform Labs (TFL) 和 Do Kwon 处以巨额处罚，累计欺诈损失达 53 亿美元。该机构要求返还约 42 亿美元的非法所得、约 5.46 亿美元的判决前利息以及总计约 5.2 亿美元的民事罚款。如果获得批准，此案可能成为最重要的加密货币执法行动，超过之前涉及币安和司法部的和解。

Terraform Labs Faces Hefty Damages for Terra Blockchain Fraud

Terraform 实验室因 Terra 区块链欺诈而面临巨额损失

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a request for injunctive relief and damages totaling over $5.3 billion against Terraform Labs (TFL) and its founder, Do Kwon, for orchestrating a fraudulent scheme involving the now-defunct Terra blockchain.

美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 已向 Terraform Labs (TFL) 及其创始人 Do Kwon 提出禁令救济和赔偿总额超过 53 亿美元的请求，指控其策划了一项涉及现已解散的 Terra 区块链的欺诈计划。

SEC's Request for Relief

SEC 的救济请求

In a filing dated April 19, the SEC sought a court order demanding that TFL and Kwon pay approximately $4.2 billion in disgorgement, representing the profits they allegedly obtained through their unlawful activities. The agency also requested pre-judgment interest of approximately $546 million.

在 4 月 19 日提交的一份文件中，SEC 寻求法院命令，要求 TFL 和 Kwon 支付约 42 亿美元的非法所得，代表他们涉嫌通过非法活动获得的利润。该机构还要求支付约 5.46 亿美元的判决前利息。

Additionally, the SEC recommended civil penalties of $420 million against Terraform and $100 million against Kwon. The order proposed by the SEC prohibits TFL from discharging any monetary remedies imposed through bankruptcy and bars Kwon from serving as a director of any securities issuer in the future.

此外，SEC 建议对 Terraform 处以 4.2 亿美元的民事罚款，对 Kwon 处以 1 亿美元的民事罚款。 SEC 提出的命令禁止 TFL 解除通过破产施加的任何货币救济，并禁止 Kwon 未来担任任何证券发行人的董事。

Landmark Crypto Enforcement Action

具有里程碑意义的加密执法行动

If granted by the court, the proposed penalties would constitute the largest crypto-related enforcement action in history. This would surpass the $4.3 billion settlement reached between the Department of Justice and Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, in February 2023.

如果法院批准，拟议的处罚将构成历史上最大的与加密货币相关的执法行动。这将超过 2023 年 2 月美国司法部与全球最大加密货币交易所币安达成的 43 亿美元和解金额。

Unlike Binance's case, which centered on anti-money laundering controls, Terraform's case involves allegations of securities law violations and investor fraud. The SEC claims TFL misled investors about the stability and revenue-generating potential of its blockchain's associated tokens, LUNA and UST.

与币安的案件以反洗钱控制为中心不同，Terraform 的案件涉及违反证券法和投资者欺诈的指控。 SEC 声称 TFL 在其区块链相关代币 LUNA 和 UST 的稳定性和创收潜力方面误导了投资者。

SEC's Enforcement Director Statement

SEC 执法总监声明

"Through these deceptions, the defendants caused devastating losses for investors and wiped out tens of billions of market value nearly overnight," stated Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, following the court's verdict against TFL and Kwon on April 5. He emphasized the consequences of non-compliance with registration and regulatory requirements, despite the promise of cryptocurrencies.

4 月 5 日法院对 TFL 和 Kwon 作出判决后，美国证券交易委员会执法部主任 Gurbir S. Grewal 表示：“通过这些欺骗行为，被告给投资者造成了毁灭性的损失，并几乎在一夜之间蒸发了数百亿美元的市值。”他强调了尽管加密货币前景广阔但不遵守注册和监管要求的后果。

Kwon's Counterarguments

权的反驳

In response to the SEC's request, Kwon has opposed any form of injunctive relief against him. His legal team argues that there is no evidence to suggest that Kwon will re-engage in the alleged conduct. Additionally, they contend that disgorgement fines are unwarranted since Kwon did not personally profit from the scheme beyond TFL's earnings.

为了回应 SEC 的要求，权先生反对针对他的任何形式的禁令救济。他的法律团队辩称，没有证据表明权将重新参与所指控的行为。此外，他们还认为，除 TFL 的收入外，Kwon 个人并没有从该计划中获利，因此没收非法所得罚款是没有根据的。

Regarding the civil penalties, Kwon's lawyers have proposed a modest fine of approximately $800,000. They argue that any further penalties should be based on criteria provided by the court and in TFL's remedies brief.

关于民事处罚，Kwon 的律师建议处以约 80 万美元的适度罚款。他们认为，任何进一步的处罚都应基于法院提供的标准和伦敦交通局的补救措施简介。
