Alex Mashinsky是Collapsed Crypto Lender Celsius Network的创始人兼前首席执行官，面临着在接下来的二十年中的前景

在周一晚些时候提交的备忘录中，司法部敦促法院判处20年徒刑，称罪行为“故意，计算”的欺诈行为，造成了近70亿美元的客户损失

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has requested a 20-year prison sentence for Alex Mashinsky, the founder and former CEO of collapsed crypto lender Celsius Network.

美国司法部（DOJ）已要求对倒塌的加密贷款人Celsius Network的创始人兼前首席执行官Alex Mashinsky判处20年徒刑。

In a sentencing memo filed late Monday, the DOJ called for a "significant" prison term to reflect the "gravity" of Mashinsky's crimes, which they described as a "deliberate, calculated" fraud that caused nearly $7 billion in customer losses and left thousands financially devastated.

司法部在周一下午提交的宣判备忘录中呼吁“重大”监狱术语，以反映Mashinsky犯罪的“重力”，他们将其描述为“故意，计算出的”欺诈行为，造成了近70亿美元的客户损失，并造成了数千美元的经济损害。

Mashinsky, who pleaded guilty in December to misrepresenting the safety of customer deposits and manipulating Celsius's CEL token, "refuses to accept responsibility" for his actions and continues to shift blame to regulators, market conditions and even his victims, prosecutors said.

检察官说，马辛斯基（Mashinsky）在12月认罪，以虚假陈述客户存款的安全并操纵Celsius的Cel代币，“拒绝承担其行为的责任”，并继续将责任转移到监管机构，市场状况，甚至受害者的责备。

"At times, Mashinsky has sought to minimize his crimes by attributing them to the rapidly changing legal and regulatory landscape or to the economic downturn that began in 2022," prosecutors wrote.

检察官写道：“有时，马辛斯基试图通过将其归因于迅速变化的法律和监管局势或2022年开始的经济衰退来最大程度地减少他的罪行。”

"But Mashinsky’s crimes were not the product of negligence, naiveté, or bad luck. They were the result of deliberate, calculated decisions to lie, deceive, and steal in pursuit of personal fortune."

“但是马申斯基的罪行不是疏忽，天真或厄运的产物。这是故意，计算出的决定撒谎，欺骗和偷窃的结果，以追求个人财富。”

At its peak in 2021, Celsius managed more than $20 billion in customer crypto assets, which Mashinsky aggressively marketed as a safe alternative to banks, promising high yields and low risk.

在2021年的高峰期，Celsius管理了超过200亿美元的客户加密资产，Mashinsky积极销售是银行的安全替代品，有希望的高收益和低风险。

However, prosecutors said those promises were a sham: Celsius took uncollateralized loans, made risky trades and secretly used customer assets to manipulate the price of its CEL token — all while publicly assuring customers that their funds were safe and boasting about his own loyalty to the CEL token.

但是，检察官说，这些诺言是虚假的：摄氏贷款贷款，进行了风险的交易，并秘密地使用客户资产来操纵其CEL代币的价格 - 同时公开向客户保证，他们的资金是安全的，并且对自己对Cel代币的忠诚度很高。

"When the price of CEL dropped in late 2021, Mashinsky personally sold over $48 million worth of CEL at inflated prices in order to maximize his own profit," prosecutors said.

检察官说：“当2021年末CEL的价格下跌时，Mashinsky亲自以高昂的价格出售了价值超过4,800万美元的CEL，以最大程度地提高自己的利润。”

"He then lied to customers, claiming that he was 'HODLing' alongside them and that he had no intention of selling."

“然后，他对顾客撒谎，声称他正在与他们''''''，他无意出售。”

Celsius collapsed into bankruptcy in July 2022 with billions of dollars in customer funds trapped. Post-bankruptcy, customers were left with a shortfall of more than $1 billion. Adjusting for today's crypto prices post-2024's "Trump-trade" rally, prosecutors estimate the total loss is closer to $7 billion.

塞尔斯（Celsius）在2022年7月倒塌，被困在数十亿美元的客户资金中。破产后，客户的短缺超过10亿美元。调整当今2024年“特朗普贸易”集会后的加密价格，检察官估计总损失接近70亿美元。

"In all, Mashinsky's crimes have had a devastating impact on the lives of his victims," they wrote.

他们写道：“总的来说，马辛斯基的罪行对受害者的生活产生了毁灭性的影响。”

"They have lost their savings, their investments, and in some cases, their homes and families."

“他们失去了积蓄，投资，在某些情况下，房屋和家庭。”

Prosecutors warned that anything less than a significant prison sentence would fail to reflect the gravity of Mashinsky’s conduct, undermine respect for the law, and send the wrong message to other crypto executives tempted to chase personal enrichment at the expense of their customers.

检察官警告说，任何少于严重的徒刑都不会反映出马申斯基行为的严重性，破坏对法律的尊重，并将错误的信息发送给其他加密高管，他们试图以牺牲客户为代价追求个人丰富。

"A sentence of imprisonment is necessary to deter Mashinsky and others from committing similar crimes," they said.

他们说：“要阻止马什斯基和其他人犯下类似罪行的监禁刑期。”

Judge John G. Koeltl will sentence Mashinsky on May 8.
