Terraform Labs and Do Kwon Face Trial Over TerraUSD Collapse

Terraform Labs 和 Do Kwon 因 TerraUSD 崩溃而面临审判

New York City, March 6, 2023 - Terraform Labs, a Singapore-based blockchain company, and its founder, Do Kwon, are scheduled to stand trial in Manhattan on Monday, March 6. The trial stems from allegations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that they misled investors about the stability of TerraUSD (UST), a stablecoin designed to maintain a value of $1.

纽约，2023 年 3 月 6 日 - 总部位于新加坡的区块链公司 Terraform Labs 及其创始人 Do Kwon 计划于 3 月 6 日星期一在曼哈顿接受审判。该审判源于美国证券交易委员会的指控委员会 (SEC) 认为，他们在 TerraUSD (UST) 的稳定性方面误导了投资者，TerraUSD 是一种旨在维持 1 美元价值的稳定币。

The SEC alleges that Terraform Labs and Kwon violated federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements about UST and its underlying blockchain technology. Specifically, the regulator accuses them of claiming that UST was backed by a reserve of traditional assets, such as fiat currency or other stablecoins, when it was not.

SEC 指控 Terraform Labs 和 Kwon 对 UST 及其底层区块链技术做出虚假和误导性陈述，违反了联邦证券法。具体来说，监管机构指责他们声称 UST 得到了法定货币或其他稳定币等传统资产储备的支持，但事实并非如此。

Unstable Foundation and Marketing Misrepresentations

基础不稳定和营销失实陈述

According to the SEC, Terraform Labs and Kwon also falsely claimed that UST was widely used for transactions by merchants and customers on the Chai mobile payment app in South Korea. The regulator argues that these misrepresentations lured investors into purchasing UST and its associated token, Luna, leading to significant losses when both tokens collapsed in May 2022.

据 SEC 称，Terraform Labs 和 Kwon 还错误地声称 UST 被韩国的 Chai 移动支付应用程序上的商家和客户广泛用于交易。监管机构认为，这些虚假陈述诱使投资者购买 UST 及其相关代币 Luna，导致这两种代币在 2022 年 5 月崩盘时造成重大损失。

The SEC estimates that investors lost over $40 billion in the UST and Luna collapse, which sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency market and contributed to the bankruptcies of several crypto companies.

美国证券交易委员会估计，UST 和 Luna 崩盘使投资者损失超过 400 亿美元，这给加密货币市场带来了冲击，并导致多家加密公司破产。

Extradition Delay and Criminal Charges

引渡延迟和刑事指控

Do Kwon, who has denied the SEC's allegations, is not expected to attend the trial. He was arrested in Montenegro in March 2023 and is currently awaiting extradition to South Korea, where he faces separate criminal charges related to the UST and Luna collapse. A Montenegrin court recently delayed Kwon's extradition after prosecutors expressed concerns about the extradition process.

Do Kwon 否认了 SEC 的指控，预计不会出席审判。他于 2023 年 3 月在黑山被捕，目前正在等待引渡到韩国，他在韩国面临与 UST 和 Luna 倒塌相关的单独刑事指控。在检察官对引渡程序表示担忧后，黑山一家法院最近推迟了对权的引渡。

Meanwhile, federal prosecutors in New York have also charged Kwon with fraud and are seeking his extradition to the United States.

与此同时，纽约联邦检察官也指控权犯有欺诈罪，并正在寻求将他引渡到美国。

SEC's Case and Legal Precedence

SEC 的案件和法律优先权

The SEC's case against Terraform Labs and Kwon is significant as it represents one of the first major enforcement actions by regulators against a stablecoin issuer. The agency's pursuit of civil penalties and industry bans against Kwon and Terraform sends a strong message that it intends to hold crypto companies accountable for misleading investors.

美国证券交易委员会针对 Terraform Labs 和 Kwon 的案件意义重大，因为它是监管机构针对稳定币发行人采取的首批重大执法行动之一。该机构对 Kwon 和 Terraform 进行民事处罚和行业禁令发出了一个强烈的信息，即它打算让加密货币公司对误导投资者负责。

The SEC's previous success in a related case against Terraform Labs in December 2022, in which the court ruled that the company had unlawfully sold digital assets without registering them as securities, sets a precedent for the upcoming trial.

SEC 此前曾于 2022 年 12 月在针对 Terraform Labs 的相关案件中取得成功，法院在该案件中裁定该公司在未将数字资产注册为证券的情况下非法出售数字资产，为即将进行的审判开创了先例。

As the trial progresses, it will be closely watched by investors, regulators, and the crypto industry alike as it could have far-reaching implications for the regulation of stablecoins and digital assets. The outcome of the case may determine the future of stablecoins and the level of investor protection in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market.

随着试验的进展，它将受到投资者、监管机构和加密货币行业的密切关注，因为它可能对稳定币和数字资产的监管产生深远的影响。该案的结果可能决定稳定币的未来以及快速发展的加密货币市场中投资者保护的水平。
