Cypher協議開發者賭博成癮敲響加密產業警鐘

化名的 Cypher Protocol 開發者 Hoak 承認竊取了價值近 30 萬美元的用戶資金並將其用於賭博。霍克的認罪是在一篇揭露資金缺失的帖子以及匿名核心貢獻者 Cobra 的調查之後進行的，Cobra 追踪到被盜資金來自幣安交易所。繼 2023 年駭客攻擊之後，該內部人士的行為給 Cypher Protocol 帶來了另一個重大打擊，引發了人們對加密貨幣領域賭博成癮的擔憂。

Cypher Protocol Developer's Confession Raises Alarm About Gambling Addiction in Crypto Space

Cypher 協議開發者的坦白引發了人們對加密貨幣領域賭博成癮的警惕

In a shocking turn of events, Hoak, the pseudonymous core developer behind the Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) Cypher Protocol, has admitted to absconding with nearly $300,000 in user funds and squandering them on gambling.

令人震驚的是，基於 Solana 的去中心化交易所 (DEX) Cypher Protocol 背後的匿名核心開發人員 Hoak 承認攜帶近 30 萬美元的用戶資金潛逃，並將其揮霍在賭博上。

Hoak's confession, shared via a public statement on May 14, confirmed the allegations that had been circulating within the crypto community: "I took the funds and gambled them away. I didn't run away with it, nor did anyone else."

5 月14 日，霍克在一份公開聲明中承認了自己的罪行，證實了加密貨幣社區中流傳的指控：「我拿走了這些資金，然後把它們賭了出去。我沒有帶著它逃跑，其他人也沒有。

The revelation followed a May 13 post by another pseudonymous core contributor, Cobra, who revealed the missing funds. Discord group members had initially reported issues with fund withdrawals, prompting Cobra's investigation.

在此之前，另一位匿名核心貢獻者 Cobra 在 5 月 13 日發布了一篇帖子，披露了失踪的資金。 Discord 組織成員最初報告了資金提取問題，促使 Cobra 展開調查。

Cobra's research revealed a series of suspicious transactions: "Hoak withdrew funds from the Cypher redemption contract via 36 withdrawals... Funds were then swapped and sent to an intermediary wallet, which subsequently transferred them to Binance."

Cobra 的研究揭示了一系列可疑交易：“Hoak 通過 36 次提款從 Cypher 贖回合約中提取了資金……然後資金被交換並發送到中間錢包，該中間錢包隨後將其轉移到幣安。”

On-chain data compiled by Cobra traced a total of $317,000 in Solana (SOL), Tether (USDT), and USD Coin (USDC) from Hoak's wallet to the Binance exchange.

Cobra 編製的鏈上數據顯示，從 Hoak 的錢包到幣安交易所的 Solana (SOL)、Tether (USDT) 和 USD Coin (USDC) 共 317,000 美元。

Hoak's confession sheds light on a disturbing trend emerging in the crypto space: gambling addiction. Hoak himself admitted to the debilitating nature of his gambling compulsion, stating that it had spiraled into "a crippling addiction."

霍克的坦白揭示了加密貨幣領域出現的令人不安的趨勢：賭博成癮。霍克自己承認賭博強迫症的嚴重性，並表示它已經演變成「一種嚴重的癮」。

While Hoak acknowledged the inexcusable nature of his actions, he lamented the lack of checks and balances that allowed his addiction to go unchecked: "This is the culmination of what snowballed into a crippling gambling addiction and probably multiple other psychological factors that went by unchecked for too long."

雖然霍克承認自己的行為是不可原諒的，但他對缺乏制衡機製而感到遺憾，這使得他的毒癮無法得到控制：「這是滾雪球般發展成嚴重賭博成癮的頂峰，而且可能還有多種其他心理因素，這些因素在過去幾年裡一直不受控制。

The Cypher Protocol incident has dealt a further blow to the embattled DEX, which had previously been hacked in August 2023, resulting in losses of over $1 million.

Cypher Protocol 事件進一步打擊了陷入困境的 DEX，該交易所此前曾於 2023 年 8 月遭到駭客攻擊，造成超過 100 萬美元的損失。

Hoak's confession has raised concerns among regulators and industry experts about the prevalence of gambling addiction within the crypto space. The impulsive and volatile nature of crypto trading has been likened to gambling by many, including the Chair of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler.

霍克的坦白引起了監管機構和行業專家對加密貨幣領域賭博成癮盛行的擔憂。加密貨幣交易的衝動性和波動性被許多人比作賭博，其中包括美國證券交易委員會主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler)。

A 2023 YouGov survey revealed that individuals who engage in harmful levels of gambling are five times more likely to invest in cryptocurrencies, highlighting the potential for adverse impacts on this vulnerable group.

2023 年 YouGov 的一項調查顯示，參與有害賭博的個人投資加密貨幣的可能性是其他人的五倍，突顯了這個弱勢群體可能受到的不利影響。

The Cypher Protocol incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for robust regulations, responsible gambling practices, and support systems to address the growing issue of gambling addiction in the crypto space.

Cypher Protocol 事件清楚地提醒我們需要強有力的監管、負責任的賭博行為和支持系統來解決加密貨幣領域日益嚴重的賭博成癮問題。
