基於電報的加密計劃Blum的聯合創始人Vladimir Smerkis因涉嫌欺詐而在莫斯科被捕

總部位於電報的Crypto Project Blum的聯合創始人Vladimir Smerkis因涉嫌大規模欺詐而在莫斯科被捕。

A co-founder of Telegram-based crypto project Blum, Vladimir Smerkis, has been arrested in Moscow on suspicion of large-scale fraud.

基於電報的加密貨幣項目Blum的聯合創始人Vladimir Smerkis因涉嫌大規模欺詐而在莫斯科被捕。

The Zamoskvoretsky District Court granted the request from state investigators to approve the detention of Smerkis, as reported by Russian news agency TASS on Sunday.

Zamoskvoretsky地方法院批准了州調查人員批准拘留Smerkis的請求，正如俄羅斯新聞社Tass週日報導的那樣。

The charges against Smerkis are based on Article 159 of Russia’s criminal code, which pertains to serious fraud crimes. If found guilty, Smerkis could face up to 12 years in prison. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether formal charges have been filed.

針對Smerkis的指控是基於俄羅斯刑法第159條，該法規與嚴重的欺詐罪有關。如果被判有罪，Smerkis可能會面臨長達12年的監禁。當局尚未確認是否已提起正式指控。

Local media outlet Mash linked this case to previous crypto ventures started by Smerkis, namely ‘The Token Fund and Tokenbox’. Both platforms were launched in 2017. Together, those projects reportedly led to losses of around $15 million for investors.

當地媒體媒體Mash將此案與Smerkis發起的以前的Crypto Ventures聯繫起來，即“令牌基金和令牌”。這兩個平台均在2017年啟動。據報導，這些項目損失了約1500萬美元的投資者。

Although Blum is not connected to these older ventures, the incident has brought the project into sharper focus. Notably, Smerkis also once led operations for Binance Russia.

儘管Blum與這些較舊的合資企業沒有連接，但該事件使該項目變得更加焦點。值得注意的是，Smerkis也曾經為俄羅斯的Binance帶來了行動。

In response, Blum posted on X that Smerkis has stepped down as its Chief Marketing Officer and is no longer part of the project. The company remains “fully committed” to its roadmap and will continue normal operations.

作為回應，布魯姆（Blum）在X上發布了Smerkis卸任首席營銷官，並且不再是該項目的一部分。該公司仍然“完全致力於”其路線圖，並將繼續正常運營。

However, the timing of the arrest has caused anxiety among the Blum community. Many users are now raising concerns over the fate of the BLUM token airdrop, originally set for Q3 2025. The airdrop was to be linked to Blum’s gamified point system through its Telegram-based Drop Game.

但是，逮捕的時機引起了布魯姆社區的焦慮。現在，許多用戶對Blum代幣Airdrop的命運提出了擔憂，該空調最初定於Q3 2025。該空調將通過其基於電報的Drop Game與Blum的Gamifit Point System鏈接。

“Blum owes its users a clarification on the planned airdrop,” one X user wrote. Several others expressed similar concerns, calling for transparency amid the uncertainty.

一位X用戶寫道：“ Blum欠其用戶對計劃的空投澄清。”其他一些人也表示類似的擔憂，要求在不確定性中提高透明度。
