作者：塞繆爾·海格（Samuel Haig）。更新：2024年4月20日，下午1:13 PDT。芒果市場剝削者Avraham“ Avi” Eisenberg，他偷了1.1億美元

Exploiter Avraham "Avi" Eisenberg, who drained decentralized finance protocol Mango Markets of $110 million in 2022, was sentenced to 52 months in prison on Thursday on his guilty plea to possession of child sexual exploitation material, not for his conviction on the crypto theft.

剝削者阿夫拉漢姆·艾森伯格（Avraham“ Avi” Eisenberg）在2022年排入分散的金融方案芒果市場（1.1億美元），週四因對擁有兒童性剝削材料的認罪而被判處52個月徒刑，而不是因為他對加密貨幣盜竊的定罪而被判處。

The sentencing comes a year after a New York jury found Eisenberg guilty of wire fraud, commodities fraud and commodities manipulation for his Mango Markets stunt, and a year after he separately pleaded guilty to the possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), which was found on his devices after his arrest.

判決是在紐約陪審團裁定艾森伯格（Eisenberg）犯有電匯欺詐，商品欺詐和商品操縱的芒果市場特技中的一年之後的一年。

Defense attorneys moved for either a new trial or an acquittal on the Mango Markets-related charges last year, claiming that the Department of Justice pursued the case in the wrong venue (the Southern District of New York), that the government hadn't properly proved that the MNGO Perpetual was a "swap," that Eisenberg intended to manipulate the MNGO Perpetual's price and that his "alleged deceptions ... were immaterial."

In a hearing in Manhattan on Thursday, Judge Arun Subramanian said he would sentence Eisenberg to more than four years in prison at FCI Otisville, a medium-security facility about two hours' drive from Manhattan, but that there was a "non-zero chance I will grant that motion" related to the Mango Markets-related charges.

阿倫·蘇巴拉曼尼亞（Arun Subramanian）法官在周四在曼哈頓舉行的一次聽證會上說，他將在FCI Otisville判處艾森伯格（Eisenberg）判處四年多的監禁，這是一個中型安全設施，距曼哈頓大約有兩個小時的車程，但“有一個非零的機會，我會給貨幣市場的動議“與貨幣市場相關，”

The bulk of any sentence would be related to the CSAM charge anyway, the judge said.

法官說，任何句子的大部分都將與CSAM指控有關。

"I think that in this specific area, general deterrence has more weight ... the only way to try to stem the tide of the distribution of this material" is through a prison sentence, the judge said, before reading three witness statements.

法官說：“我認為，在這個特定領域，普遍的威懾力量更大……試圖阻止該材料分佈的潮流的唯一方法是通過徒刑。”

The judge also said he acknowledged to Eisenberg's effort to better understand the impact of his crime, but that a prison sentence was still necessary. Eisenberg is sentenced to five years of probation with strict rules after he is released from prison, the judge said, but will have to install monitoring software on all of his electronic devices and go through a drug outpatient program.

法官還說，他承認艾森伯格為更好地理解犯罪的影響而努力，但仍然有必要徒刑。法官說，艾森伯格（Eisenberg）被釋放出獄後被判處五年緩刑，並嚴格規定，但必須在其所有電子設備上安裝監視軟件，並通過毒品門診計劃。

In their sentencing submission to the court, prosecutors asked for Eisenberg to serve between 6.5 and 8 years in prison, stressing the seriousness of his offenses.

檢察官在向法院提交判刑時，要求艾森伯格服刑6.5至8年，強調他的罪行的嚴重性。

Though Eisenberg has maintained that his crypto trading actions on Mango Markets were “compliant” with the protocol and thus didn’t break the law (an argument a jury clearly did not buy), prosecutors say Eisenberg was well aware that what he was doing was a crime. Before his Mango Markets heist, he’d filed suit against someone else for crypto-related market manipulation, and fled the country for Israel once his identity as the attacker was unveiled.

儘管艾森伯格堅持認為，他對芒果市場的加密貨幣貿易行為“符合協議”，因此沒有違反法律（陪審團顯然沒有購買的論點），但檢察官說，艾森伯格很清楚他在做的是犯罪。在他的芒果市場搶劫案之前，他就與加密相關的市場操縱提起訴訟，一旦他的身份被揭露，他就逃離了以色列的國家。

I believe all of our actions were legal open market actions, using the protocol as designed, even if the development team did not fully anticipate the consequences of setting parameters the way they are.

我相信，即使開發團隊沒有完全預測其以其方式設置參數的後果，我們的所有行動都是使用協議所設計的法律公開市場行動。

Prosecutors also detailed Eisenberg’s child sexual abuse material charges, telling the judge that between 2017 and 2022, he downloaded 1,274 sexually-explicit images and videos of children — including toddlers and two-month-old infants — as well as “depictions of sadistic violence and masochism against children.”

檢察官還詳細介紹了艾森伯格的兒童性虐待重大指控，告訴法官，在2017年至2022年之間，他下載了1,274張性宣傳的圖像和兒童的視頻，包括幼兒和兩個月的嬰兒，以及“對兒童的虐待狂暴力和對兒童的虐待性暴力和受虐狂的描述”。

In their own sentencing submission to the court, Eisenberg and his lawyers attempted to blame his strict religious upbringing and his lifelong “struggles to conform to social norms” for his crimes, calling him a “fundamentally decent person” and detailing his challenges adapting to the “daily horrors” of life in jail.

艾森伯格（Eisenberg）和他的律師在向法院提交宣判，試圖責備他嚴格的宗教撫養和終生為自己的罪行而“努力遵守社會規範”，稱他為“根本上是體面的人”，並詳細介紹了他適應“每日恐怖”生命中的挑戰。
