Binance的前俄羅斯負責人Vladimir Smerkis因涉嫌與欺詐案的聯繫而在莫斯科被捕

居住在莫斯科的Zamoskvoretsky地方法院批准了調查員拘留Smerkis的請求，一位不願透露姓名的執法機構消息人士告訴TASS。

Vladimir Smerkis, former head of Russia division at Binance, has been arrested in the country in connection with a large-scale criminal fraud case, local media outlet TASS reported Sunday.

當地媒體媒體TASS週日報導，賓夕法尼亞州俄羅斯部門前負責人弗拉基米爾·斯梅爾基斯（Vladimir Smerkis）週日報導說，與大規模的刑事欺詐案有關，在該國被捕。

An investigator’s request to detain Smerkis was granted by Zamoskvoretsky District Court, which is in Moscow, an unnamed law enforcement agency source told TASS. The report did not share specific details of the fraud case. CoinDesk was unable to contact the Zamoskvoretsky District Court for more information.

一位不願透露姓名的執法機構消息人士告訴TASS，Zamoskvoretsky地方法院批准了調查人員拘留Smerkis的要求。該報告沒有共享欺詐案件的具體細節。 Coindesk無法聯繫Zamoskvoretsky地方法院以獲取更多信息。

Smerkis co-founded trading app Blum in December 2023 but the company said Saturday on X he had stepped down from his role as chief marketing officer and is no longer involved in the project. He has also been the managing partner of four other ventures including Tokenbox.io and The Token Fund according to LinkedIn.

Smerkis於2023年12月與他人共同創立了Trading App Blum，但該公司週六在X上表示，他已經辭去了首席營銷官的職務，不再參與該項目。根據LinkedIn的說法，他還曾是其他四個企業的執行合夥人，包括Tokenbox.io和Token Fund。

Prior to starting Blum, Smerkis worked for the Binance crypto exchange from 2022 for just under two years. In that time he was the head of Russia and later the head of its Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) business, according to LinkedIn. The CIS is a group of 11 nations which coordinate on key decisions like trade and lawmaking; Russia is among those nations.

在開始Blum之前，Smerkis從2022年開始為Binance Crypto Exchange工作了不到兩年。據LinkedIn稱，在那個時候，他是俄羅斯的負責人，後來又是其獨立國家（CIS）業務的負責人。獨聯體是一個由11個國家組成的小組，協調貿易和立法等關鍵決策。俄羅斯是這些國家之一。
