Terraform Labs 以 $4.47B 和解 SEC 指控

加密貨幣史上最大的崩潰之一終於結束，Terraform Labs 願意向 SEC 支付 44.7 億美元。

Cryptocurrency platform Terraform Labs has agreed to pay the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) $4.47 billion to settle charges that it misled investors about a digital asset securities fraud.

加密貨幣平台 Terraform Labs 已同意向美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 支付 44.7 億美元，以了結其在數位資產證券詐欺方面誤導投資者的指控。

The SEC on Friday asked a federal judge in the Southern District of New York to accept the settlement, which comes two months after a judge found Terraform and its co-founder Do Kwon liable for securities fraud in a bench trial.

週五，美國證券交易委員會要求紐約南區的一名聯邦法官接受和解協議，兩個月前，一名法官在法官審判中發現 Terraform 及其聯合創始人 Do Kwon 對證券欺詐負有責任。

Terraform will pay the SEC $3.5 billion-plus interest, apart from a $420 million penalty. Kwon will pay $204.3 million in disgorgement, interest and penalty.

除了 4.2 億美元的罰款外，Terraform 還將向 SEC 支付 35 億美元以上的利息。 Kwon 將支付 2.043 億美元的非法所得、利息和罰款。

The SEC alleges that Terraform misled investors about the peg of its algorithmic stablecoin to the U.S. dollar, and that Kwon orchestrated a scheme to manipulate the price of Terraform’s crypto assets, among other allegations.

美國證券交易委員會指控 Terraform 在其演算法穩定幣與美元掛鉤的問題上誤導了投資者，並且 Kwon 精心策劃了一項操縱 Terraform 加密資產價格的計劃等。

The charges stem from the collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022, which saw LUNA, the Terra blockchain's token, lose almost 50% of its value in a single day. The collapse wiped out billions of dollars in crypto assets.

這些指控源於 2022 年 5 月 Terra 生態系統的崩潰，Terra 區塊鏈的代幣 LUNA 在一天內損失了近 50% 的價值。這次崩盤使數十億美元的加密資產化為烏有。

Terraform introduced LUNA, its native token, and UST, an algorithmic stablecoin that was meant to be pegged to the U.S. dollar. Both tokens were created and sold by Terraform, and LUNA was used to mint UST.

Terraform 推出了 LUNA（其原生代幣）和 UST（一種旨在與美元掛鉤的演算法穩定幣）。這兩種代幣均由 Terraform 創建和銷售，LUNA 用於鑄造 UST。

The multibillion-dollar settlement between Terraform and the SEC has raised questions about whether Terraform has the ability to pay off the debt.

Terraform 與 SEC 之間達成的數十億美元和解引發了人們對 Terraform 是否有能力償還債務的疑問。

The new agreement comes after a federal judge in January ordered Terraform to pay more than $4.4 billion in penalties for securities fraud. The penalties were levied after the SEC alleged that Terraform misled investors about a digital asset securities fraud.

這項新協議是在 1 月一名聯邦法官下令 Terraform 因證券詐欺行為支付超過 44 億美元的罰款後達成的。美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 指控 Terraform 在數位資產證券欺詐問題上誤導投資者後實施了處罰。

The SEC alleged that Terraform and Kwon misled investors about the peg of UST to the U.S. dollar and that Kwon orchestrated a scheme to manipulate the price of Terraform’s crypto assets.

SEC 指控 Terraform 和 Kwon 在 UST 與美元掛鉤的問題上誤導了投資者，而 Kwon 精心策劃了一項操縱 Terraform 加密資產價格的計劃。

The SEC also alleged that Terraform and Kwon made materially false and misleading statements about LUNA and UST in offering documents and public statements, and that Kwon orchestrated a scheme to manipulate the price of Terraform’s crypto assets, among other allegations.

SEC 還指控 Terraform 和 Kwon 在提供文件和公開聲明中對 LUNA 和 UST 做出了重大虛假和誤導性陳述，並且 Kwon 精心策劃了一項操縱 Terraform 加密資產價格的計劃等指控。

The charges stem from the collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022, which saw LUNA lose almost 50% of its value in a single day. The collapse wiped out billions of dollars in crypto assets.
