前美國證券交易委員會主席傑伊·克萊頓（Jay Clayton）已開始在涉及加密欺詐的刑事案件中發表陳述。

在4月23日的通知中，美國檢察官辦公室說，尤金·威廉·奧斯丁（Eugene William Austin），也稱為休·奧斯丁（Hugh Austin），被判處18年徒刑

Recently appointed interim US Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and former chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission Jay Clayton has begun offering statements in criminal cases involving crypto fraud.

最近被任命為紐約南部地區（SDNY）的臨時律師，並且是美國證券交易委員會前主席Jay Clayton已開始在涉及加密欺詐的刑事案件中發表陳述。

In an April 23 notice, the US Attorney’s Office said Eugene William Austin, also known as Hugh Austin, had been sentenced to 18 years in prison following his conviction on conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property. Together with his son, Brandon, sentenced to four years, Austin offered fraudulent crypto investment services, resulting in roughly $12 million in losses to more than 24 people.

在4月23日的通知中，美國檢察官辦公室說，尤金·威廉·奧斯丁（Eugene William Austin）（也稱為休·奧斯汀）被判判處18年徒刑，因為他對串謀犯有電匯欺詐，串謀洗錢以及串謀犯有偷竊財產的交通罪。奧斯丁與他的兒子佈蘭登（Brandon）被判處四年徒刑，提供了欺詐性加密投資服務，給超過24人帶來了大約1200萬美元的損失。

“For years, Hugh Austin was the leader of a fraud and money laundering scheme that stole more than $12 million from more than two dozen victims and involved his own son in his crimes,” said Clayton. “They worked together to rip off victims and were spending investor money on personal expenses, like luxury hotels and a lavish lifestyle. Austin will now be held accountable for the harm he caused to individual investors and others.”

克萊頓說：“多年來，休·奧斯汀（Hugh Austin）一直是欺詐和洗錢計劃的領導者，該計劃從二十多名受害者那裡偷走了超過1200萬美元，並捲入了自己的兒子犯罪。” “他們共同努力剝奪受害者，並將投資者的錢花在個人支出上，例如豪華酒店和奢侈的生活方式。奧斯汀現在將對他對個人投資者和其他人造成的傷害負責。”

The criminal case involving digital assets marked one of Clayton’s first public statements since becoming the interim US Attorney on April 22. US President Donald Trump nominated Clayton on Jan. 20 when he took office. The district has since seen the resignation of acting US Attorney Danielle Sassoon in response to the Justice Department directing her to halt a case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

涉及數字資產的刑事案件標誌著克萊頓（Clayton）於4月22日成為臨時美國檢察官以來的第一個公開聲明之一。美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）於1月20日上任時提名克萊頓。此後，該地區看到了代理美國檢察官丹妮爾·薩桑（Danielle Sassoon）的辭職，以回應司法部，指示她停止對紐約市市長埃里克·亞當斯（Eric Adams）案。

Under current law, Clayton can serve as interim US Attorney for the district for 120 days without Senate confirmation. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blocked a vote on Clayton’s nomination, saying Trump had “no fidelity to the law.”

根據現行法律，克萊頓可以在沒有參議院確認的情況下擔任該地區的臨時律師120天。參議院少數黨領袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）對克萊頓的提名進行了投票，稱特朗普“對法律沒有忠誠”。

Clayton will likely oversee SDNY during the sentencing hearing for former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky and potentially other criminal cases involving cryptocurrency. The district is home to ​​Wall Street firms and many of the country’s most prominent financial institutions.

克萊頓（Clayton）可能會在前塞爾斯（Celsius）首席執行官亞歷克斯·馬什斯基（Alex Mashinsky）和其他涉及加密貨幣的刑事案件中監督SDNY。該地區是華爾街公司和該國許多最傑出的金融機構的所在地。
