利希滕斯坦一人偷走了12萬個比特幣

伊利亞·利希滕斯坦 (Ilya Lichtenstein) 在直接向公眾發表的演講中承認了與 2016 年盜竊約 120 件物品有關的指控。

Ilya Lichtenstein, who pleaded guilty last year to charges connected to the 2016 theft of about 120,000 Bitcoin from the crypto exchange Bitfinex, made a new statement on Thursday in a direct address to the public, refuting alleged third-party involvement in the hack.

伊利亞·利希滕斯坦(Ilya Lichtenstein) 去年承認了與2016 年從加密貨幣交易所Bitfinex 盜竊約12 萬比特幣有關的指控，週四在直接向公眾發表的講話中發表了新聲明，駁斥了第三方參與駭客攻擊的指控。

His five-minute video, posted to X, marks Lichtenstein’s first publicly available statement since his arrest in 2022. He directly challenged claims made in a Netflix documentary suggesting his father — or any external party, including possible foreign intelligence agencies — participated in the infamous heist.

他發佈在X 上的5 分鐘影片是利希滕斯坦自2022 年被捕以來首次公開發表的聲明。 他直接質疑了Netflix 紀錄片中的說法，該紀錄片暗示他的父親- 或任何外部方，包括可能的外國情報機構- 參與了臭名昭著的事件搶劫。

“I planned and executed the Bitfinex heist entirely by myself,” Lichtenstein said, speaking to the camera. “And I am the one who bears full responsibility for everything that has happened.”

「Bitfinex 搶劫案是我完全由我自己策劃和執行的，」利希滕斯坦對著鏡頭說道。 “而我是對所發生的一切負全部責任的人。”

He further disputed other speculations, stating: “Any allegations that my elderly and not at all tech-savvy father had any involvement in any hacking activity ever are completely false and frankly absurd.”

他進一步反駁了其他猜測，並表示：“任何關於我年邁且不懂技術的父親參與任何黑客活動的指控都是完全錯誤的，坦率地說是荒謬的。”

The 2016 hack of Bitfinex stands as one of the most significant security breaches in crypto history. At the time, the theft of 120,000 Bitcoin was valued at approximately $72 million, though the current market value of those coins is estimated to exceed $12.6 billion.

2016 年 Bitfinex 的駭客攻擊是加密貨幣史上最重大的安全漏洞之一。當時，被盜的 12 萬枚比特幣價值約為 7,200 萬美元，但這些比特幣目前的市場價值估計超過 126 億美元。

Prosecutors have previously noted that Ilya’s wife, Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan, became involved only after the fact, having pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States.

檢察官先前曾指出，伊利亞的妻子希瑟「拉茲勒漢」摩根是在事後才介入的，她承認了一項共謀洗錢罪名和一項共謀詐騙美國罪名。

In the video, Lichtenstein maintained that Morgan’s role did not extend to hacking or orchestrating the theft itself. “While it is true that my wife pleaded guilty to laundering a small portion of the funds, she was in no way involved in the hack itself,” he said. “She didn’t even know about it for years.”

在影片中，利希滕斯坦堅稱摩根的角色並未延伸至駭客攻擊或策劃盜竊本身。 「雖然我的妻子確實承認洗了一小部分資金，但她絕對沒有參與駭客攻擊本身，」他說。 “她多年來都不知道這件事。”

According to official statements and the plea agreement, Lichtenstein has been cooperating with authorities to facilitate the return of stolen funds. During the video, he reiterated these efforts.

根據官方聲明和認罪協議，利希滕斯坦一直在與當局合作，協助歸還被盜資金。在影片中，他重申了這些努力。

“For the past three years, I have worked hard to account for and return all assets down to the last Satoshi as required by my plea agreement,” Lichtenstein said. “And I will continue to do so throughout the forfeiture and restitution process, which is expected to return more than $10 billion by the first quarter of next year.”

Lichtenstein 表示：“在過去的三年裡，我一直按照認罪協議的要求，努力清查所有資產並將其歸還給最後一位聰。” “我將在整個沒收和歸還過程中繼續這樣做，預計到明年第一季將返還超過 100 億美元。”

Lichtenstein openly acknowledged his wrongdoing. “I hacked Bitfinex. I stole and laundered thousands of Bitcoin. And I am so sorry for everything,” he said.

利希滕斯坦公開承認自己的錯誤行為。 「我入侵了 Bitfinex。我偷了並洗了數千比特幣。我對這一切感到非常抱歉，」他說。

He expressed remorse and a desire to make amends, describing himself as having made “one bad selfish decision after another” during the period of the hack and its aftermath.

他表達了悔恨和彌補的願望，稱自己在駭客攻擊及其後果期間做出了「一個又一個糟糕的自私決定」。

Emphasizing his sole responsibility, Lichtenstein stated: “Nobody else except for me is responsible for the hack.”

利希滕斯坦強調他獨自承擔責任，他表示：“除了我之外，沒有人對這次黑客攻擊負責。”

He also indicated plans for his future following the completion of his prison sentence. “When I am released from prison about a year from now, I plan to dedicate myself to working in the cybersecurity industry,” Lichtenstein said.

他也表示了刑滿釋放後的未來計畫。 「大約一年後我出獄時，我計劃全心投入網路安全產業，」利希滕斯坦說。

Claiming a unique perspective informed by his past illicit activities, Lichtenstein believes he can contribute to cybersecurity defenses going forward. “Nobody understands how hackers think like someone who has been a hacker,” he said. “I know the cyber threats that we face, and I know how to stop them.”

利希滕斯坦聲稱自己過去的非法活動所帶來的獨特視角，相信他可以為未來的網路安全防禦做出貢獻。 「沒有人能像曾經當過駭客的人一樣理解駭客是如何思考的，」他說。 “我知道我們面臨的網路威脅，也知道如何阻止它們。”

All claims, as Lichtenstein noted, can be verified by publicly available court documents. He advised Netflix viewers to read these documents to develop their own informed conclusions.

正如利希滕斯坦所指出的那樣，所有主張都可以透過公開的法庭文件得到證實。他建議 Netflix 觀眾閱讀這些文件，以得出自己的明智結論。

“You don’t have to take my word for it,” Lichtenstein said. “All of the court documents laying out the facts of the case are publicly available. You can read them yourself and make up your own mind.”

「你不必相信我的話，」利希滕斯坦說。 「列出案件事實的所有法庭文件都是公開的。你可以自己閱讀並做出決定。

Neither representatives of Bitfinex nor Netflix have publicly commented on Lichtenstein’s video at the time of reporting.

截至報道時，Bitfinex 和 Netflix 的代表均未對 Lichtenstein 的影片公開發表評論。
