Alex Mashinsky是Collapsed Crypto Lender Celsius Network的創始人兼前首席執行官，面臨著在接下來的二十年中的前景

在周一晚些時候提交的備忘錄中，司法部敦促法院判處20年徒刑，稱罪行為“故意，計算”的欺詐行為，造成了近70億美元的客戶損失

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has requested a 20-year prison sentence for Alex Mashinsky, the founder and former CEO of collapsed crypto lender Celsius Network.

美國司法部（DOJ）已要求對倒塌的加密貸款人Celsius Network的創始人兼前首席執行官Alex Mashinsky判處20年徒刑。

In a sentencing memo filed late Monday, the DOJ called for a "significant" prison term to reflect the "gravity" of Mashinsky's crimes, which they described as a "deliberate, calculated" fraud that caused nearly $7 billion in customer losses and left thousands financially devastated.

司法部在周一下午提交的宣判備忘錄中呼籲“重大”監獄術語，以反映Mashinsky犯罪的“重力”，他們將其描述為“故意，計算出的”欺詐行為，造成了近70億美元的客戶損失，並造成了數千美元的經濟損害。

Mashinsky, who pleaded guilty in December to misrepresenting the safety of customer deposits and manipulating Celsius's CEL token, "refuses to accept responsibility" for his actions and continues to shift blame to regulators, market conditions and even his victims, prosecutors said.

檢察官說，馬辛斯基（Mashinsky）在12月認罪，以虛假陳述客戶存款的安全並操縱Celsius的Cel代幣，“拒絕承擔其行為的責任”，並繼續將責任轉移到監管機構，市場狀況，甚至受害者的責備。

"At times, Mashinsky has sought to minimize his crimes by attributing them to the rapidly changing legal and regulatory landscape or to the economic downturn that began in 2022," prosecutors wrote.

檢察官寫道：“有時，馬辛斯基試圖通過將其歸因於迅速變化的法律和監管局勢或2022年開始的經濟衰退來最大程度地減少他的罪行。”

"But Mashinsky’s crimes were not the product of negligence, naiveté, or bad luck. They were the result of deliberate, calculated decisions to lie, deceive, and steal in pursuit of personal fortune."

“但是馬申斯基的罪行不是疏忽，天真或厄運的產物。這是故意，計算出的決定撒謊，欺騙和偷竊的結果，以追求個人財富。”

At its peak in 2021, Celsius managed more than $20 billion in customer crypto assets, which Mashinsky aggressively marketed as a safe alternative to banks, promising high yields and low risk.

在2021年的高峰期，Celsius管理了超過200億美元的客戶加密資產，Mashinsky積極銷售是銀行的安全替代品，有希望的高收益和低風險。

However, prosecutors said those promises were a sham: Celsius took uncollateralized loans, made risky trades and secretly used customer assets to manipulate the price of its CEL token — all while publicly assuring customers that their funds were safe and boasting about his own loyalty to the CEL token.

但是，檢察官說，這些諾言是虛假的：攝氏貸款貸款，進行了風險的交易，並秘密地使用客戶資產來操縱其CEL代幣的價格 - 同時公開向客戶保證，他們的資金是安全的，並且對自己對Cel代幣的忠誠度很高。

"When the price of CEL dropped in late 2021, Mashinsky personally sold over $48 million worth of CEL at inflated prices in order to maximize his own profit," prosecutors said.

檢察官說：“當2021年末CEL的價格下跌時，Mashinsky親自以高昂的價格出售了價值超過4,800萬美元的CEL，以最大程度地提高自己的利潤。”

"He then lied to customers, claiming that he was 'HODLing' alongside them and that he had no intention of selling."

“然後，他對顧客撒謊，聲稱他正在與他們''''''，他無意出售。”

Celsius collapsed into bankruptcy in July 2022 with billions of dollars in customer funds trapped. Post-bankruptcy, customers were left with a shortfall of more than $1 billion. Adjusting for today's crypto prices post-2024's "Trump-trade" rally, prosecutors estimate the total loss is closer to $7 billion.

塞爾斯（Celsius）在2022年7月倒塌，被困在數十億美元的客戶資金中。破產後，客戶的短缺超過10億美元。調整當今2024年“特朗普貿易”集會後的加密價格，檢察官估計總損失接近70億美元。

"In all, Mashinsky's crimes have had a devastating impact on the lives of his victims," they wrote.

他們寫道：“總的來說，馬辛斯基的罪行對受害者的生活產生了毀滅性的影響。”

"They have lost their savings, their investments, and in some cases, their homes and families."

“他們失去了積蓄，投資，在某些情況下，房屋和家庭。”

Prosecutors warned that anything less than a significant prison sentence would fail to reflect the gravity of Mashinsky’s conduct, undermine respect for the law, and send the wrong message to other crypto executives tempted to chase personal enrichment at the expense of their customers.

檢察官警告說，任何少於嚴重的徒刑都不會反映出馬申斯基行為的嚴重性，破壞對法律的尊重，並將錯誤的信息發送給其他加密高管，他們試圖以犧牲客戶為代價追求個人豐富。

"A sentence of imprisonment is necessary to deter Mashinsky and others from committing similar crimes," they said.

他們說：“要阻止馬什斯基和其他人犯下類似罪行的監禁刑期。”

Judge John G. Koeltl will sentence Mashinsky on May 8.
