CFTC在我的大硬幣數字資產欺詐計劃中宣布對馬克·吉萊斯皮和約翰·羅氏的違約判決

商品期貨貿易委員會（CFTC）今天宣布，馬薩諸塞州地區的美國地方法院對密歇根州的馬克·吉萊斯皮（Mark Gillespie），加利福尼亞州的約翰·羅氏（John Roche），我的大硬幣付費公司（My Big Coin Pay）和我的大幣，以及我的大幣，內華達州（Inc.）作出了最終的默認判決。

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today announced that the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts has entered a final default judgment against Mark Gillespie of Michigan, John Roche of California, My Big Coin Pay, Inc., and My Big Coin, Inc., both of Nevada.

商品期貨貿易委員會（CFTC）今天宣布，美國馬薩諸塞州地區的美國地方法院對密歇根州的馬克·吉萊斯皮，加利福尼亞州的約翰·羅氏（John Roche），我的Big Coin Pay，Inc。和My Big Coin，Inc。作出了最終的違約判決。

The order requires Gillespie, My Big Coin Pay, Inc., My Big Coin, Inc., and Roche to pay, jointly and severally a $19,326,324 civil monetary penalty and $6,442,108 in restitution to defrauded victims in connection with their role in a digital asset fraud scheme. The order also imposes a permanent injunction against the defendants and bans them from trading in any CFTC-regulated markets; entering into any transactions involving commodity interests or digital asset commodities; and registering with the CFTC.

該訂單要求Gillespie，我的Big Coin Pay，Inc。 ，我的Big Coin，Inc。和Roche付款，並以$ 19,326,324的民事貨幣罰款和6,442,108美元的賠償，以欺騙與他們在數字資產欺詐方案中的作用有關的受害者。該命令還對被告施加了永久禁令，並禁止他們在任何CFTC監管的市場上進行交易；進行任何涉及商品利益或數字資產商品的交易；並在CFTC上註冊。

The default order finds that from at least January 2014 through June 2017, Gillespie, My Big Coin Pay, Inc., My Big Coin, Inc., and Roche, together with co-defendant Randall Crater, one of the other co-defendants named in the CFTC’s amended complaint, operated a digital asset scheme in which they fraudulently offered the sale of a fully-functioning virtual currency, My Big Coin (MBC), a commodity in interstate commerce. The CFTC dismissed its enforcement action against named co-defendant Michael Kruger because of his death.

The default order finds that from at least January 2014 through June 2017, Gillespie, My Big Coin Pay, Inc., My Big Coin, Inc., and Roche, together with co-defendant Randall Crater, one of the other co-defendants named in the CFTC's amended complaint, operated a digital asset scheme in which they fraudulently offered the sale of a fully-functioning virtual currency, My Big Coin (MBC), a州際貿易中的商品。 CFTC由於死亡而駁回了針對名為共同被告的邁克爾·克魯格的執法行動。

The defendants obtained more than $6 million from at least 28 customers through fraudulent solicitations, including false and misleading claims and omissions about MBC’s value, usage, and trade status, and that MBC was backed by gold. Crater misappropriated virtually all the money solicited from customers, using those misappropriated funds to pay personal expenses and to continue to solicit more funds from customers.

被告通過欺詐性招標獲得了至少28個客戶的600萬美元，包括虛假和誤導性的索賠以及對MBC的價值，用法和貿易狀況的遺漏，並且MBC得到了黃金的支持。火山口盜用實際上從客戶那裡徵收的所有資金，使用這些資金來支付個人費用並繼續向客戶索取更多資金。

The order resolves the claims against Gillespie, Roche, My Big Coin Pay, Inc., and My Big Coin, Inc., in the CFTC’s enforcement action. The court previously entered a consent order resolving the CFTC’s claims against Crater, who is currently imprisoned for his role in the scheme.

該命令在CFTC的執法行動中解決了針對Gillespie，Roche，Roche，Roche，My Big Coin Pay，Inc。和我的Big Coin，Inc。的主張。法院先前簽訂了同意令，解決了CFTC對Crater的主張，後者目前因其在該計劃中的角色而被監禁。

The CFTC cautions that orders requiring repayment of funds to victims may not result in the recovery of any money lost because the wrongdoers may not have sufficient funds or assets.

CFTC警告說，需要向受害者償還資金的命令可能不會導致損失任何資金，因為不法行為可能沒有足夠的資金或資產。

On January 18, 2022, a grand jury returned an eight-count superseding indictment charging Crater with wire fraud, unlawful monetary transactions, and operating an unlicensed money transmitting business based on the same conduct alleged in the CFTC’s amended complaint. Crater was found guilty of those charges on July 21, 2022, and was sentenced to 100 months in prison and ordered to pay $7,668,317.50 in restitution to defrauded customers and to forfeit $7,668,317.50, which represented the proceeds he received from his violations.

2022年1月18日，大陪審團返回了八項成本取代起訴火山口，以電匯欺詐，非法的貨幣交易，並根據CFTC修正的投訴中所指控的相同行為經營無執照的貨幣傳輸業務。火山口在2022年7月21日被判犯有罪名，並被判處100個月徒刑，並被命令支付7,668,317.50美元的賠償金，以欺騙顧客，並沒收7,668,317.50美元，這代表了他從違法行為中獲得的收益。
