據報導，基於電報的加密貨幣項目Blum的聯合創始人Vladimir Smerkis已在莫斯科被捕

Vladimir Smerkis, a co-founder of the Telegram-based crypto project Blum, has been arrested in Moscow, Russia, on fraud allegations, according to reports by Russian state-owned news outlet TASS on Thursday, May 18.

根據俄羅斯國有新聞媒體TASS的報導，總部位於電報的加密貨幣項目Blum的聯合創始人弗拉基米爾·斯梅爾基斯（Vladimir Smerkis）因欺詐指控而被捕。

The report says that the Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow granted a request from investigators to keep Smerkis in custody while he is being investigated.

該報告說，莫斯科的Zamoskvoretsky地方法院批准了調查人員在接受調查時將Smerkis拘留的請求。

Smerkis, the former Binance Russia manager, is suspected of committing fraud on a “large scale,” which is an offense defined by Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Violations of this article can lead to imprisonment terms ranging from two to 12 years.

俄羅斯前駐俄羅斯經理Smerkis涉嫌欺詐“大規模”，這是俄羅斯聯邦《刑法》第159條所定義的罪行。違反本文可能會導致兩到12年的監禁條款。

It's important to note that the nature of the fraud allegations and whether any charges have been filed against Smerkis remain unclear at this time.

重要的是要注意，欺詐指控的性質以及目前尚不清楚對Smerkis提起的任何指控。

According to a report by Russian news outlet Mash, the fraud allegations might be linked to Smerkis's involvement in two other crypto ventures, The Token Fund and Tokenbox, which he co-founded in 2017.

根據俄羅斯新聞媒體Mash的一份報告，欺詐指控可能與Smerkis參與了其他兩個加密貨幣公司Token Fund和Tokenbox的參與，這是他在2017年共同創建的。

According to Mash, investors in these ventures reportedly suffered combined losses of about $15 million. However, Blum is not involved in either The Token Fund or Tokenbox.

據MASH稱，據報導，這些企業的投資者遭受了約1500萬美元的總損失。但是，Blum不參與令牌基金或令牌框。

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Blum confirmed that Smerkis has resigned from his role as the firm's chief marketing officer and will no longer be part of the project in any capacity.

Blum在以前是Twitter的X上的帖子中確認，Smerkis已辭去了該公司首席營銷官的職務，並且將不再以任何身份成為該項目的一部分。

Despite this development, Blum stated that its team remains fully committed and focused on its goals, and the day-to-day operations will continue as usual.

儘管有這一發展，但布魯姆表示，其團隊仍然完全致力於其目標，並且日常運營將像往常一樣繼續。

Blum is a crypto project that integrates a decentralized exchange into Telegram Mini Apps, allowing users to engage in crypto trading, earn rewards, and participate in token airdrops. The project recently launched its Drop Game, a unique initiative designed to distribute its native BLUM tokens to users.

Blum是一個加密項目，將分散的交易所集成到Telegram Mini應用程序中，允許用戶從事加密貨幣交易，賺取獎勵並參與代幣Airdrops。該項目最近推出了Drop Game，這是一項獨特的計劃，旨在將其本機Blum令牌分發給用戶。

In the Drop Game, users collect Blum points by tapping on snowflakes that fall from their mobile phone screen. These points can later be converted into BLUM tokens during a planned token generation event.

在Drop Game中，用戶通過敲擊從手機屏幕上掉落的雪花來收集Blum點。這些點以後可以在計劃的代幣生成活動中轉換為Blum令牌。

Earlier this year, Blum teased the possibility of listing its token in the third quarter of 2023. However, the news of Smerkis's arrest and the subsequent developments have sparked concerns among community members.

今年早些時候，布魯姆（Blum）取笑了在2023年第三季度列出其令牌的可能性。但是，Smerkis被捕的消息和隨後的發展引發了社區成員的關注。

"Blum owes its users a clarification on the planned airdrop," wrote one X user and Blum community member in response to a post by crypto influencer RK Gupta.

一位X用戶和Blum社區成員寫道：“ Blum欠其用戶對計劃中的Airdrop進行澄清。”
