TruthLabs 指控以太坊联合创始人 Vitalik Buterin 在以太坊 ICO 期间从罗斯·乌布利希 (Ross Ulbricht) 的丝绸之路钱包中没收的比特币中获利

这些指控是在 Buterin 和 Ulbricht 于 2025 年 1 月 19 日进行在线交流后出现的。

Blockhain investigative analyst TruthLabs has accused Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin of benefiting from Bitcoin seized from Ross Ulbricht’s Silk Road wallet during Ethereum’s initial coin offering (ICO).

Blockhain 调查分析师 TruthLabs 指责以太坊联合创始人 Vitalik Buterin 在以太坊首次代币发行（ICO）期间从 Ross Ulbricht 的 Silk Road 钱包中没收的比特币中获利。

The allegations follow an online exchange between Buterin and Ulbricht on January 19. Ulbricht, who is serving a life sentence for operating the Silk Road marketplace, took to X to clarify his non-involvement with meme coins bearing his name. Buterin responded with a message of support, calling Ulbricht’s life imprisonment “absurd” and expressing hope for his freedom.

这些指控是在 Buterin 和 Ulbricht 于 1 月 19 日进行在线交流后提出的。Ulbricht 因经营丝绸之路市场而被判无期徒刑，他向 X 澄清，他不参与以他名字命名的模因币。布特林回应了一条支持信息，称乌布利希的终身监禁是“荒谬的”，并表达了对他自由的希望。

TruthLabs' Allegations

TruthLabs 的指控

In the early hours of today, TruthLabs posted a series of claims alleging that Bitcoin from Ulbricht’s seized wallet was used to fund Ethereum’s ICO and the Ethereum Foundation. They stated that the downfall of Silk Road and the confiscation of its assets provided the financial foundation for Ethereum’s success.

今天凌晨，TruthLabs 发布了一系列声明，声称乌布利希被扣押的钱包中的比特币被用来资助以太坊的 ICO 和以太坊基金会。他们表示，丝绸之路的垮台及其资产被没收为以太坊的成功提供了财务基础。

According to TruthLabs, Buterin was allegedly aware as early as January 2014 that Ethereum’s ICO would be funded by Bitcoin linked to Silk Road assets and the collapsed Mt. Gox exchange. The post criticized Buterin for not leading efforts to support Ulbricht’s freedom, despite Ethereum allegedly benefiting from his imprisonment.

据 TruthLabs 称，据称 Buterin 早在 2014 年 1 月就意识到以太坊的 ICO 将由与 Silk Road 资产和倒闭的 Mt. Gox 交易所相关的比特币资助。该帖子批评 Buterin 没有领导支持乌布利希自由的努力，尽管以太坊据称从他的监禁中受益。

“Vitalik, your ICO, and your Foundation’s wallets were funded from Bitcoin that came from Ross Ulbricht’s seized Silk Road wallet,” TruthLabs wrote.

“Vitalik、你的 ICO 和你的基金会的钱包都是由比特币资助的，这些比特币来自 Ross Ulbricht 被扣押的丝绸之路钱包，”TruthLabs 写道。

They further condemned Buterin for allowing grassroots movements like Free Ross DAO to rely on public donations while providing only minimal public support himself.

他们进一步谴责 Buterin 允许像 Free Ross DAO 这样的草根运动依赖公众捐款，而他自己只提供最低限度的公众支持。

Broader Context and Reaction

更广泛的背景和反应

Ross Ulbricht's life sentence has long been a contentious issue, with supporters advocating for clemency and criticizing the severity of his punishment. A Free Ross DAO, a decentralized fundraising initiative, has raised significant funds to support Ulbricht's legal efforts.

罗斯·乌布利希的无期徒刑长期以来一直是一个有争议的问题，支持者主张宽大处理，并批评对他的惩罚的严厉性。 Free Ross DAO 是一项去中心化筹款计划，已筹集了大量资金来支持 Ulbricht 的法律工作。

Neither Buterin nor the Ethereum Foundation have responded to the allegations at the time of writing. However, the claims have reignited debates over the origins of Ethereum's funding and the ethical responsibilities of its leadership.

截至撰写本文时，Buterin 和以太坊基金会都没有对这些指控做出回应。然而，这些说法重新引发了关于以太坊资金来源及其领导层道德责任的争论。

Meanwhile, during the U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s campaign, he made a pledge to the crypto community to free the Silk Road creator, Ross Ulbricht, if re-elected. Notably, with Trump taking office today, whether he will fulfill the promise remains to be seen.

与此同时，在美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普竞选期间，他向加密社区承诺，如果连任，将释放丝绸之路创始人罗斯·乌布利希。值得注意的是，特朗普今天上任，他是否会兑现承诺还有待观察。
