Alex Mashinsky爆炸了政府的20年“毒液判決”請求，宣佈為“監獄死刑”

破產加密貨幣平台Celsius的創始人兼前首席執行官Alex Mashinsky炸毀了政府20年

Alex Mashinsky, the former CEO of bankrupt crypto lending platform Celsius, is set to be sentenced on May 9 for his role in misleading users and manipulating the price of Celsius (CEL).

破產加密貸款平台Celsius的前首席執行官Alex Mashinsky定於5月9日被判刑，因為他在誤導用戶和操縱Celsius（CEL）的價格方面的作用。

While the government is seeking a 20-year sentence, Mashinsky's lawyers argued for no more than 366 days in a May 5 reply memorandum filed in a New York district court.

儘管政府正在尋求20年徒刑，但在5月5日在紐約地方法院提交的一份備忘錄中，馬辛斯基的律師辯稱不超過366天。

The Department of Justice (DOJ) said in its May 8 sentencing request that Mashinsky, 59, should receive at least 20 years in prison for his actions. This sentence would leave him 79 if he serves the whole term.

司法部（DOJ）在5月8日的宣判要求中說，現年59歲的馬辛斯基（Mashinsky）應因其行為至少被判入獄20年。如果他在整個學期任職，這句話將留給他79。

Lawyers acting for Mashinsky stated that the government has failed to take into account his status as a nonviolent first-time offender with a previously unblemished 30-year history in business.

為馬辛斯基（Mashinsky）行事的律師表示，政府未能考慮到他作為非暴力的首次犯罪者的地位，並以前沒有30年的商業歷史。

“The government's venom-laced submission recasts this case as one involving a predator with an intent to target victims, harm them, and steal their money,” they said.

他們說：“政府的毒液提交的提議將這一案件重新鑄造為涉及捕食者，目的是針對受害者，傷害他們並竊取他們的錢。”

“It concludes by recommending that a first time, nonviolent offender who pled guilty and accepts responsibility receive a death-in-prison sentence.”

“結論是，建議第一次承諾認罪並承擔責任的非暴力罪犯被判處死刑。”

Mashinsky’s crimes and plea deal

Mashinsky的罪行和認罪協議

Mashinsky pleaded guilty in December 2024 to two out of seven charges brought by the DOJ. The charges included commodities fraud and manipulating the price of CEL, which enabled Mashinsky to profit by $48 million when selling his holdings before Celsius collapsed in June 2022.

Mashinsky在2024年12月對司法部提出的七項指控中的七分之一表示認罪。這些指控包括商品欺詐和操縱CEL的價格，這使Mashinsky在2022年6月倒閉之前出售其股份時使Mashinsky獲得了4,800萬美元的利潤。

Prosecutors initially filed seven charges in July 2023, and Mashinsky was arrested in December 2023.

檢察官最初於2023年7月提起7項指控，Mashinsky於2023年12月被捕。

Lawyers acting for Mashinsky also claim the DOJ’s push for a 20-year sentence is because their client is unwilling to “capitulate to the government’s exaggerated characterizations of his actions,” specifically that he was a “fraud from the get-go.”

為Mashinsky行事的律師還聲稱，司法部判處20年徒刑是因為他們的委託人不願“屈服於政府對他的行為的誇張特徵”，特別是他是“一開始欺詐的”。

“Alex is inserted as the scapegoat for every corporate action, every group decision, every unanimous vote, every market fluctuation, and every employee's watercooler speculation,” they said.

他們說：“亞歷克斯被插入每個公司行動，每個團體決定，每一個一致投票，每個市場波動以及每個員工的水庫投機的替罪羊。”

As part of its April 28 sentencing request, the DOJ said Mashinsky’s guilty plea showed that his crimes were deliberate, calculated decisions to lie, deceive and steal.

司法部說，作為4月28日的判決請求的一部分，馬辛斯基的有罪認罪表明，他的罪行是故意的，算是撒謊，欺騙和偷竊的決定。

Days earlier on April 23, US federal prosecutors also filed statements from hundreds of victims who lost money due to the Celsius collapse. They detailed how some had entrusted their life savings to the protocol, believing Mashinsky’s assurances that it was safe.

幾天前，4月23日，美國聯邦檢察官還向數百名因攝氏倒塌而損失的受害者提出了陳述。他們詳細介紹了一些人如何將他們的生命儲蓄委託給協議，並相信馬申斯基的保證是安全的。
