塞爾斯修斯（Celsius）的前首席執行官Alex Mashinsky剛剛被紐約聯邦法院（Federal Court）判處12年徒刑。

The former CEO of Celsius, Alex Mashinsky, has just been sentenced to 12 years in prison by a federal court in New York for fraud. A surprising decision at a time when Donald Trump is beginning his second term with several presidential pardons granted to major figures in the crypto sphere.

塞爾斯修斯（Celsius）的前首席執行官Alex Mashinsky剛剛因欺詐而被紐約聯邦法院判處12年徒刑。當唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）開始第二任期的時候，這是一個令人驚訝的決定，幾個總統赦免授予加密貨幣領域的主要人物。

While markets predicted a light sentence, this conviction shows that certain red lines will not be crossed.

儘管市場預測了一個輕句，但這種信念表明，某些紅線不會越過。

Donald Trump and justice: a delicate balance

唐納德·特朗普與正義：微妙的平衡

Alex Mashinsky, the former CEO of Celsius, was found guilty of orchestrating a large-scale misinformation scheme. By promising guaranteed returns, he attracted hundreds of thousands of clients while using their funds to speculate on volatile assets. He also engaged in crypto token manipulation strategies, artificially inflating the price of CEL to his advantage! Hence the 12-year prison sentence.

塞爾西烏斯（Celsius）前首席執行官Alex Mashinsky被判犯有策劃大規模錯誤信息方案的罪名。通過有希望的保證回報，他吸引了數十萬客戶，同時使用資金推測波動性資產。他還從事加密代幣操縱策略，人為地將CEL的價格誇大了！因此，被判處12年徒刑。

Since January 2025, Donald Trump has made waves with the pardon of Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, and the commutation of sentences for former BitMEX executives. In this context, the crypto community had hoped for more lenient treatment for Mashinsky.

自2025年1月以來，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）與絲綢之路的創始人羅斯·烏爾布里希特（Ross Ulbricht）的赦免以及前比特梅克斯高管的判決。在這種情況下，加密貨幣社區希望對Mashinsky進行更寬大的治療。

However, the DOJ led by Jay Clayton did not flinch. A conviction that will serve as a warning to entrepreneurs and promoters in the crypto sector with a single motto: fraud will be severely punished, no matter the domain. The defense even tried to mitigate the sentence:

但是，傑伊·克萊頓（Jay Clayton）領導的司法部並沒有退縮。一種信念將作為加密貨幣部門中的企業家和發起人的警告，無論是什麼領域，都將受到嚴重懲罰。辯方甚至試圖減輕句子：

They even requested only a one-year sentence. But nothing changed the outcome. The judge took into account the seriousness of the facts: thousands of savers deceived, attracted by promises of safety and returns.

他們甚至只要求一年徒刑。但是沒有什麼改變結果。法官考慮了事實的嚴重性：成千上萬的儲蓄者被安全和回報的承諾所吸引。

A clear signal for the crypto ecosystem

加密生態系統的明確信號

This sentence contrasts with the more permissive image that Donald Trump seems to present towards crypto players. Despite calls for leniency, including from Changpeng Zhao, the US justice system sends a clear message: innovation does not justify fraud.

這句話與唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）似乎對加密玩家展現的更寬容的形象形成鮮明對比。儘管呼籲寬大處理，包括來自Zhao（Changpeng Zhao）的寬大處理，但美國司法系統仍傳達了一個明確的信息：創新並不能證明欺詐合理性。

While Roger Ver and Sam Bankman-Fried are also hoping for a presidential intervention, Mashinsky’s conviction reminds that in the crypto world, some offenses remain unforgivable, even in the Trump era.

儘管羅傑·韋爾（Roger Ver）和山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）也希望進行總統干預，但馬申斯基（Mashinsky）的信念提醒人們，在加密貨幣世界中，即使在特朗普時代，有些犯罪仍然無法理解。

The sentencing of Alex Mashinsky to 12 years in prison thus confirms that the US justice system does not yield to the crypto aura nor political pressures. Even under Donald Trump, financial crimes related to cryptocurrency remain severely punished. A clear warning to all players in the blockchain sector.

因此，亞歷克斯·馬申斯基（Alex Mashinsky）對入獄12年的量刑證實，美國司法系統不會屈服於加密環（Crypto Aura）或政治壓力。即使在唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的領導下，與加密貨幣有關的金融犯罪仍然受到嚴重懲罰。向區塊鏈領域的所有玩家發出明確警告。
