美國司法部要求攝氏創始人Alex Mashinsky判處20年徒刑

美國司法部已要求對塞爾西烏斯的創始人兼前首席執行官亞歷克斯·馬申斯基（Alex Mashinsky）嚴格判刑，這是因為他在現已停產的加密貨幣貸款平台的運營中發揮了作用。

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has requested a twenty-year prison sentence for Alex Mashinsky, the founder and former CEO of Celsius, for his role in the operations of the now-defunct cryptocurrency lending platform.

美國司法部（DOJ）要求塞爾西烏斯（Celsius）的創始人兼前首席執行官Alex Mashinsky判處二十年徒刑，因為他在現已失去的加密貨幣貸款平台的運營中扮演了角色。

According to the DOJ, Mashinsky’s actions were not merely negligent but deliberate, as indicated in parts of his defense, which the DOJ said was an attempt to downplay his role in the fraud.

根據司法部的說法，馬辛斯基的行動不僅是疏忽大意，而且是故意的，正如他的部分辯護中所表明的那樣，司法部說這是試圖忽略他在欺詐中的作用。

However, the DOJ has requested the court to sentence Mashinsky to twenty years in prison for his role in the Celsius fraud, which resulted in the loss of billions of dollars in investor funds.

但是，司法部已要求法院因他在攝氏欺詐中的角色而判處Mashinsky判處二十年徒刑，這導致投資者資金損失了數十億美元。

The DOJ submitted a 97-page sentencing memorandum on April 28, arguing for this recommendation and highlighting that victims of the scheme have been unable to withdraw their cryptocurrencies since the platform suspended operations.

司法部於4月28日提交了一份長達97頁的量刑備忘錄，並提出了這一建議，並強調該計劃的受害者由於該平台暫停操作而無法撤回其加密貨幣。

In the memo, the DOJ stated, “The Court should sentence Alexander Mashinsky to twenty years’ imprisonment as just punishment for his years-long campaign of lies and self-dealing that left in its wake billions in losses and thousands of victimized customers.”

司法部在備忘錄中說：“法院應判處亞歷山大·馬什斯基（Alexander Mashinsky）判處20年徒刑，這只是對他多年來的謊言和自我交易的懲罰，這在其喚醒數十億美元的損失和成千上萬的受害客戶中留下了。”

Mashinsky Pled Guilty

Mashinsky認罪

This follows Mashinsky’s plea of guilty to two criminal counts, including one count of “misrepresenting the safety and liquidity of customer deposits” and one count of price manipulation of Celsius’s token, CEL, to artificially increase the price of the coin and improve his wealth.

這是在馬申斯基對兩項犯罪罪名的認罪之後，其中包括一項“歪曲客戶存款的安全性和流動性”的罪名，以及一項對攝氏的價格操縱的罪名，以人為地提高硬幣價格並改善他的財富。

In his plea, Mashinsky admitted to leading operations at Celsius and being fully aware of the criminal activities taking place. He also confessed to siphoning over $48 million into his personal accounts.

Mashinsky在他的懇求中承認在Celsius進行了領導行動，並充分意識到正在發生的犯罪活動。他還承認，將超過4,800萬美元的個人帳戶盜用。

Based on this admission, the DOJ concluded that Mashinsky intentionally deceived investors and misappropriated their funds.

根據這一承認，司法部得出的結論是，馬辛斯基故意欺騙了投資者並挪用了他們的資金。

Scams in the crypto world are unfortunately widespread, but it’s clear that authorities and the global community are taking them more seriously.

不幸的是，加密世界中的騙局很普遍，但是很明顯，當局和全球社區正在更加認真地對待它們。

For instance, ZachXBT, a well-known crypto investigator, recently discovered a suspicious transaction involving 3,520 BTC, valued at $330.7 million. The Bitcoin was allegedly stolen and laundered through multiple exchanges, finally being swapped for Monero (XMR).

例如，著名的加密調查員Zachxbt最近發現了一項可疑交易，涉及3,520 BTC，價值3.3億美元。據稱，比特幣通過多次交易所被盜並洗錢，最終被換成Monero（XMR）。

This resulted in a 50% price surge in XMR, highlighting the increasing scrutiny on such activities.

這導致XMR的價格上漲了50％，強調了對此類活動的審查越來越大。
