Celius（CEL）的创始人兼前首席执行官Alex Mashinsky被判入狱12年

拨款贷款协议摄氏（CEL）的创始人兼前首席执行官亚历克斯·马辛斯基（Alex Mashinsky）于5月8日星期四被判处12年监禁。

A U.S. judge on Thursday sentenced Alex Mashinsky, the founder and former CEO of defunct lending protocol Celsius (CEL), to 12 years in prison for defrauding investors.

一名美国法官周四判刑，判处Depunct Lunging Protogent Celsius（CEL）的创始人兼前首席执行官Alex Mashinsky因欺骗投资者而被判入狱12年。

According to the Manhattan federal court, Judge John G. Koeltl said that Mashinsky had engaged in a sweeping scheme to deceive investors in a lending scheme that began unraveling in 2022 with the collapse of Sam Bankman Fried’s FTX.

根据曼哈顿联邦法院的说法，约翰·科尔特尔法官说，马辛斯基已经参与了一项艰巨的计划，以欺骗投资者的贷款计划，该计划于2022年开始瓦解，随着山姆·班克曼·弗里德（Sam Bankman）弗里德（Sam Bankman）的FTX崩溃。

The 12-year prison term was less than the 20 years sought by federal prosecutors, who argued that Mashinsky should serve a longer sentence due to the "unmitigated greed" that drove him to defraud investors.

这项为期12年的监禁期限少于联邦检察官寻求的20年，他们认为Mashinsky应该因“不受信任的贪婪”驱使他欺骗投资者而服刑更长。

"The sentence imposed on Mr. Mashinsky reflects the serious nature of his crimes and serves as a deterrent to others who may consider engaging in similar unlawful conduct," said Elie Lancellotti, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

美国南部地区检察官办公室发言人埃莉·兰克洛蒂（Elie Lancellotti）表示：“对马辛斯基先生的判决反映了他的罪行的严重性质，并阻止了其他可能考虑从事类似非法行为的人的威慑。”

Earlier this year, Mashinsky pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud, including commodities fraud and securities fraud. As part of the plea deal, Mashinsky agreed to forfeit $48 million and will not appeal any sentence of up to 30 years.

今年早些时候，Mashinsky认罪了两项欺诈罪，包括商品欺诈和证券欺诈。作为认罪协议的一部分，Mashinsky同意没收4,800万美元，不会对30年的任何判决提出上诉。

However, the funds were a small portion of the over $1 billion financial hole that Celsius had. Earlier this year, Celsius creditors approved a restructuring plan that would convert the firm into a Bitcoin (BTC) mining company called Ionic Digital LLC, to be owned by creditors.

但是，这些资金是摄氏10亿美元的金融漏洞中的一小部分。今年早些时候，Celsius债权人批准了一项重组计划，该计划将将公司转换为一个名为Ionic Digital LLC的比特币（BTC）矿业公司，该公司将由债权人拥有。

The judge also ordered Mashinsky to pay $140 million in restitution to victims of his crimes.

法官还命令Mashinsky向受害者的受害者支付1.4亿美元的赔偿。

"After engaging in a brazen fraud, Mr. Mashinsky is being held accountable for his actions," said Gary Schaero, special agent in charge of the FBI's New York office. "As we continue to see, crypto is not above the law."

联邦调查局纽约办事处的特工加里·舍罗（Gary Schaero）说：“在涉足大胆的欺诈行为之后，马辛斯基先生对自己的行为负责。” “正如我们继续看到的那样，加密货币并不高于法律。”

Since the cryptocurrency industry experienced the 2022 bear market, which was partly driven by the Terra Luna and FTX collapse, lawmakers in different jurisdictions have put in place measures to protect web3 investors. In the U.S., Sam Bankman Fried has been a key lesson to web3 developers seeking to flout the set crypto regulatory rules.

由于加密货币行业经历了2022年的熊市，部分是由Terra Luna和FTX崩溃驱动的，因此不同司法管辖区的立法者已经采取了保护Web3投资者的措施。在美国，Sam Bankman Fried是寻求违反SET加密监管规则的Web3开发人员的关键课程。

The crypto market is well positioned to grow exponentially in the coming years, driven by clear regulatory frameworks. In addition, institutional investors have compelled global lawmakers to pay attention to digital assets as an alternative form of battle-tested investments.

加密货币市场在未来几年内，在明确的监管框架的驱动下，可以成倍增长。此外，机构投资者迫使全球立法者注意数字资产，这是经过战斗测试投资的另一种形式。
