A Texas Bitcoin investor has been charged with tax evasion by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), marking the first criminal prosecution for tax evasion linked to cryptocurrency.

德克萨斯州一名比特币投资者被美国司法部（DOJ）指控逃税，这是首例与加密货币相关的逃税刑事起诉。

Frank Richard Ahlgren III, who has been involved in Bitcoin since 2011, allegedly failed to report capital gains on roughly $4 million in Bitcoin.

弗兰克·理查德·阿尔格伦三世 (Frank Richard Ahlgren III) 自 2011 年以来一直涉足比特币领域，据称他未能报告大约 400 万美元比特币的资本收益。

According to the investigation, Ahlgren purchased 1.366 Bitcoins in 2015 through Coinbase. At that time, Bitcoin’s price ranged from $495 to $5,807 per coin. By October 2017, Ahlgren had sold around 640 Bitcoins for $3.7 million.

调查显示，Ahlgren 在 2015 年通过 Coinbase 购买了 1.366 枚比特币。当时，比特币的价格在每枚 495 美元到 5,807 美元之间。截至 2017 年 10 月，Ahlgren 已以 370 万美元的价格出售了约 640 个比特币。

However, when filing his 2017 federal tax return, Ahlgren lied to his accountant about his Bitcoin purchase prices. He inflated the prices to reduce his taxable gain and ultimately submitted a false return.

然而，在提交 2017 年联邦纳税申报表时，阿尔格伦对他的会计师谎报了他的比特币购买价格。他抬高价格以减少应税收益，并最终提交了虚假申报表。

Following the investigation, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Pitman sentenced Ahlgren to two years in prison for tax evasion. The judge also ordered Ahlgren to pay $1,095,031.

调查结束后，美国地方法院法官罗伯特·皮特曼以逃税罪判处阿尔格伦两年监禁。法官还命令 Ahlgren 支付 1,095,031 美元。

Warnings from Authorities

当局的警告

Acting Special Agent in Charge Lucy Tan from IRS-Criminal Investigation stated that this case should serve as a warning to anyone attempting to evade taxes through crypto assets.

美国国税局刑事调查局代理特别负责人 Lucy Tan 表示，此案应该对任何试图通过加密资产逃税的人发出警告。

“This case demonstrates that no one is above the law,” Tan said. “The DOJ and IRS are increasing our enforcement actions. People involved in crypto transactions must follow tax reporting rules to avoid criminal charges.”

谭说：“此案表明没有人可以凌驾于法律之上。” “司法部和国税局正在加强我们的执法行动。参与加密货币交易的人必须遵守税务报告规则，以避免刑事指控。”

Other Bitcoin Tax Evasion Cases

其他比特币逃税案件

Earlier this year, another high-profile case involved Roger Ver, who is known as “Bitcoin Jesus,” facing tax evasion charges. He allegedly avoided over $48 million in taxes after selling $240 million worth of cryptocurrency.

今年早些时候，另一起备受瞩目的案件涉及被称为“比特币耶稣”的罗杰·维尔 (Roger Ver)，他面临逃税指控。据称，他在出售价值 2.4 亿美元的加密货币后避税超过 4800 万美元。

Ver’s case is particularly noteworthy due to the complexity arising from his renunciation of U.S. citizenship in 2014. He allegedly did this to bypass the “exit tax” requirement, highlighting the intersection of crypto holdings and international tax laws.

Ver 的案件尤其值得注意，因为他在 2014 年放弃了美国公民身份，从而造成了复杂性。据称，他这样做是为了绕过“退出税”要求，凸显了加密货币持有与国际税法的交叉。
