塞尔西乌斯（Celsius）前首席执行官Alex Mashinsky刚刚因欺诈而被判处12年徒刑

塞尔斯修斯（Celsius）的前首席执行官Alex Mashinsky刚刚被纽约联邦法院（Federal Court）判处12年徒刑。

The former CEO of Celsius, Alex Mashinsky, has just been sentenced to 12 years in prison by a federal court in New York for fraud. A surprising decision at a time when Donald Trump is beginning his second term with several presidential pardons granted to major figures in the crypto sphere.

塞尔斯修斯（Celsius）的前首席执行官Alex Mashinsky刚刚因欺诈而被纽约联邦法院判处12年徒刑。当唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）开始第二任期的时候，这是一个令人惊讶的决定，几个总统赦免授予加密货币领域的主要人物。

While markets predicted a light sentence, this conviction shows that certain red lines will not be crossed.

尽管市场预测了一个轻句，但这种信念表明，某些红线不会越过。

Donald Trump and justice: a delicate balance

唐纳德·特朗普与正义：微妙的平衡

Alex Mashinsky, the former CEO of Celsius, was found guilty of orchestrating a large-scale misinformation scheme. By promising guaranteed returns, he attracted hundreds of thousands of clients while using their funds to speculate on volatile assets. He also engaged in crypto token manipulation strategies, artificially inflating the price of CEL to his advantage! Hence the 12-year prison sentence.

塞尔西乌斯（Celsius）前首席执行官Alex Mashinsky被判犯有策划大规模错误信息方案的罪名。通过有希望的保证回报，他吸引了数十万客户，同时使用资金推测波动性资产。他还从事加密代币操纵策略，人为地将CEL的价格夸大了！因此，被判处12年徒刑。

Since January 2025, Donald Trump has made waves with the pardon of Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, and the commutation of sentences for former BitMEX executives. In this context, the crypto community had hoped for more lenient treatment for Mashinsky.

自2025年1月以来，唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）与丝绸之路的创始人罗斯·乌尔布里希特（Ross Ulbricht）的赦免以及前比特梅克斯高管的判决。在这种情况下，加密货币社区希望对Mashinsky进行更宽大的治疗。

However, the DOJ led by Jay Clayton did not flinch. A conviction that will serve as a warning to entrepreneurs and promoters in the crypto sector with a single motto: fraud will be severely punished, no matter the domain. The defense even tried to mitigate the sentence:

但是，杰伊·克莱顿（Jay Clayton）领导的司法部并没有退缩。一种信念将作为加密货币部门中的企业家和发起人的警告，无论是什么领域，都将受到严重惩罚。辩方甚至试图减轻句子：

They even requested only a one-year sentence. But nothing changed the outcome. The judge took into account the seriousness of the facts: thousands of savers deceived, attracted by promises of safety and returns.

他们甚至只要求一年徒刑。但是没有什么改变结果。法官考虑了事实的严重性：成千上万的储蓄者被安全和回报的承诺所吸引。

A clear signal for the crypto ecosystem

加密生态系统的明确信号

This sentence contrasts with the more permissive image that Donald Trump seems to present towards crypto players. Despite calls for leniency, including from Changpeng Zhao, the US justice system sends a clear message: innovation does not justify fraud.

这句话与唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）似乎对加密玩家展现的更宽容的形象形成鲜明对比。尽管呼吁宽大处理，包括来自Zhao（Changpeng Zhao）的宽大处理，但美国司法系统仍传达了一个明确的信息：创新并不能证明欺诈合理性。

While Roger Ver and Sam Bankman-Fried are also hoping for a presidential intervention, Mashinsky’s conviction reminds that in the crypto world, some offenses remain unforgivable, even in the Trump era.

尽管罗杰·韦尔（Roger Ver）和山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）也希望进行总统干预，但马申斯基（Mashinsky）的信念提醒人们，在加密货币世界中，即使在特朗普时代，有些犯罪仍然无法理解。

The sentencing of Alex Mashinsky to 12 years in prison thus confirms that the US justice system does not yield to the crypto aura nor political pressures. Even under Donald Trump, financial crimes related to cryptocurrency remain severely punished. A clear warning to all players in the blockchain sector.

因此，亚历克斯·马申斯基（Alex Mashinsky）对入狱12年的量刑证实，美国司法系统不会屈服于加密环（Crypto Aura）或政治压力。即使在唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的领导下，与加密货币有关的金融犯罪仍然受到严重惩罚。向区块链领域的所有玩家发出明确警告。
