Alex Mashinsky爆炸了政府的20年“毒液判决”请求，宣布为“监狱死刑”

破产加密货币平台Celsius的创始人兼前首席执行官Alex Mashinsky炸毁了政府20年

Alex Mashinsky, the former CEO of bankrupt crypto lending platform Celsius, is set to be sentenced on May 9 for his role in misleading users and manipulating the price of Celsius (CEL).

破产加密贷款平台Celsius的前首席执行官Alex Mashinsky定于5月9日被判刑，因为他在误导用户和操纵Celsius（CEL）的价格方面的作用。

While the government is seeking a 20-year sentence, Mashinsky's lawyers argued for no more than 366 days in a May 5 reply memorandum filed in a New York district court.

尽管政府正在寻求20年徒刑，但在5月5日在纽约地方法院提交的一份备忘录中，马辛斯基的律师辩称不超过366天。

The Department of Justice (DOJ) said in its May 8 sentencing request that Mashinsky, 59, should receive at least 20 years in prison for his actions. This sentence would leave him 79 if he serves the whole term.

司法部（DOJ）在5月8日的宣判要求中说，现年59岁的马辛斯基（Mashinsky）应因其行为至少被判入狱20年。如果他在整个学期任职，这句话将留给他79。

Lawyers acting for Mashinsky stated that the government has failed to take into account his status as a nonviolent first-time offender with a previously unblemished 30-year history in business.

为马辛斯基（Mashinsky）行事的律师表示，政府未能考虑到他作为非暴力的首次犯罪者的地位，并以前没有30年的商业历史。

“The government's venom-laced submission recasts this case as one involving a predator with an intent to target victims, harm them, and steal their money,” they said.

他们说：“政府的毒液提交的提议将这一案件重新铸造为涉及捕食者，目的是针对受害者，伤害他们并窃取他们的钱。”

“It concludes by recommending that a first time, nonviolent offender who pled guilty and accepts responsibility receive a death-in-prison sentence.”

“结论是，建议第一次承诺认罪并承担责任的非暴力罪犯被判处死刑。”

Mashinsky’s crimes and plea deal

Mashinsky的罪行和认罪协议

Mashinsky pleaded guilty in December 2024 to two out of seven charges brought by the DOJ. The charges included commodities fraud and manipulating the price of CEL, which enabled Mashinsky to profit by $48 million when selling his holdings before Celsius collapsed in June 2022.

Mashinsky在2024年12月对司法部提出的七项指控中的七分之一表示认罪。这些指控包括商品欺诈和操纵CEL的价格，这使Mashinsky在2022年6月倒闭之前出售其股份时使Mashinsky获得了4,800万美元的利润。

Prosecutors initially filed seven charges in July 2023, and Mashinsky was arrested in December 2023.

检察官最初于2023年7月提起7项指控，Mashinsky于2023年12月被捕。

Lawyers acting for Mashinsky also claim the DOJ’s push for a 20-year sentence is because their client is unwilling to “capitulate to the government’s exaggerated characterizations of his actions,” specifically that he was a “fraud from the get-go.”

为Mashinsky行事的律师还声称，司法部判处20年徒刑是因为他们的委托人不愿“屈服于政府对他的行为的夸张特征”，特别是他是“一开始欺诈的”。

“Alex is inserted as the scapegoat for every corporate action, every group decision, every unanimous vote, every market fluctuation, and every employee's watercooler speculation,” they said.

他们说：“亚历克斯被插入每个公司行动，每个团体决定，每一个一致投票，每个市场波动以及每个员工的水库投机的替罪羊。”

As part of its April 28 sentencing request, the DOJ said Mashinsky’s guilty plea showed that his crimes were deliberate, calculated decisions to lie, deceive and steal.

司法部说，作为4月28日的判决请求的一部分，马辛斯基的有罪认罪表明，他的罪行是故意的，算是撒谎，欺骗和偷窃的决定。

Days earlier on April 23, US federal prosecutors also filed statements from hundreds of victims who lost money due to the Celsius collapse. They detailed how some had entrusted their life savings to the protocol, believing Mashinsky’s assurances that it was safe.

几天前，4月23日，美国联邦检察官还向数百名因摄氏倒塌而损失的受害者提出了陈述。他们详细介绍了一些人如何将他们的生命储蓄委托给协议，并相信马申斯基的保证是安全的。
