兩人因策劃大規模加密貨幣盜竊案被捕，盜竊了 4,100 多個比特幣。他們複雜的洗錢操作涉及使用多個混音器和 VPN 來掩蓋他們的痕跡。他們用偷來的資金過著奢華的生活，購買豪華汽車和其他高檔物品。

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia announced on Thursday that two individuals have been charged “with conspiracy to steal and launder over $230 million in cryptocurrency from a victim in Washington, D.C.” Malone Lam, 20, of Miami, and Jeandiel Serrano, 21, of Los Angeles, were arrested and face charges related to the large-scale cryptocurrency fraud.

美國哥倫比亞特區檢察官辦公室週四宣布，兩名個人被指控“合謀從華盛頓特區的一名受害者那裡竊取和洗錢超過 2.3 億美元的加密貨幣”，來自邁阿密的 20 歲的 Malone Lam 和 Jeandiel Serrano， 21 日，洛杉磯人被捕，並面臨與大規模加密貨幣詐欺相關的指控。

According to the indictment, the conspirators would fraudulently gain access to victim cryptocurrency accounts and then transfer victim funds into their possession.

根據起訴書，共謀者會透過詐欺手段存取受害者的加密貨幣帳戶，然後將受害者的資金轉入他們的手中。

“They laundered the proceeds, including by moving the funds through various mixers and exchanges using ‘peel chains,’ pass-through wallets, and virtual private networks (VPNs) to mask their true identities,” the Attorney’s Office detailed.

「他們洗錢，包括透過使用『剝離鏈』、直通錢包和虛擬專用網路（VPN）將資金轉移到各種混合器和交易所，以掩蓋他們的真實身份，」檢察官辦公室詳細說明。

The stolen cryptocurrency was used to finance a lavish lifestyle, the authorities noted, stating:

當局指出，被盜的加密貨幣被用來資助奢侈的生活方式，並指出：

Lam and Serrano then allegedly spent the laundered cryptocurrency proceeds on international travel, nightclubs, luxury automobiles, watches, jewelry, designer handbags, and rental homes in Los Angeles and Miami.

據稱，林和塞拉諾隨後將洗錢後的加密貨幣收益用於國際旅行、夜總會、豪華汽車、手錶、珠寶、名牌手袋以及洛杉磯和邁阿密的出租房屋。

In one instance, Lam, Serrano, and their conspirators contacted a victim in Washington, D.C., and fraudulently obtained more than 4,100 bitcoins, valued at over $230 million at the time. As of this writing, bitcoin is trading at $62,855, raising the value of the fraudulently obtained Bitcoin to approximately $258 million.

有一次，Lam、Serrano 及其同謀聯繫了華盛頓特區的一名受害者，並透過欺詐手段獲得了 4,100 多個比特幣，當時價值超過 2.3 億美元。截至撰寫本文時，比特幣的交易價格為 62,855 美元，這使得透過欺詐手段獲得的比特幣的價值達到約 2.58 億美元。
