Avraham Eisenberg在芒果市场中撤出了欺诈和操纵定罪

周五，美国地方法院法官阿伦·萨布拉曼尼亚人（Arun Subramanian）裁定，审判中提供的证据未能支持陪审团的结论，即艾森伯格（Eisenberg）对芒果市场做出了重大虚假陈述。

A US federal judge has vacated key fraud and manipulation convictions against Avraham Eisenberg, the trader at the center of a case involving a $110 million exploit of the decentralized exchange Mango Markets.

一名美国联邦法官已撤消了针对阿夫拉汉姆·艾森伯格（Avraham Eisenberg）的主要欺诈和操纵定罪，该案件的中心是涉及分散的交易所芒果市场的案件中心的交易者。

On Friday, US District Judge Arun Subramanian ruled that the evidence presented at trial failed to support the jury’s conclusion that Eisenberg made materially false representations to Mango Markets.

周五，美国地方法院法官阿伦·萨布拉曼尼亚人（Arun Subramanian）裁定，审判中提供的证据未能支持陪审团的结论，即艾森伯格（Eisenberg）对芒果市场做出了重大虚假陈述。

The decision vacates Eisenberg’s convictions for commodities fraud and market manipulation and acquits him of a third charge, significantly weakening the government’s case.

该决定使艾森伯格对商品欺诈和市场操纵的信念撤消了他的定罪，并使他以第三起指控无罪，这大大削弱了政府的案件。

Eisenberg, a self-proclaimed “applied game theorist,” was convicted in 2024 for artificially inflating the price of Mango’s MNGO token by over 1,300% in a matter of minutes and using the resulting gains as collateral to withdraw $110 million in crypto assets from the platform.

艾森伯格（Eisenberg）是一位自称为“应用游戏理论家”，于2024年因人为地在几分钟内人为地将Mango的Mngo代币价格夸大了1,300％以上，并以结果的收益作为抵押品从平台上撤回1.1亿美元的加密货币资产。

Judge sides with Eisenberg

与艾森伯格的判断

The Justice Department argued that he deceived Mango’s smart contract-based lending system, but Eisenberg’s defense maintained that he merely exploited poorly designed, permissionless code — without making any false representations.

司法部辩称，他欺骗了芒果的基于智能合同的贷款系统，但艾森伯格的辩护坚持认为，他只是利用了设计良好的无许可代码，而没有做出任何虚假陈述。

Judge Subramanian agreed, writing that “Mango Markets was permissionless and automatic,” meaning the system couldn’t be deceived in a legal sense. “There was insufficient evidence of falsity,” the judge added, siding with Eisenberg’s interpretation of DeFi mechanics.

Subramanian法官同意，他写道：“芒果市场是无许可和自动的”，这意味着该系统在法律意义上不能被欺骗。法官补充说：“没有足够的虚假证据。”

The judge also rejected prosecutors’ argument that the case should be heard in New York. Eisenberg was in Puerto Rico at the time of the trades, and the court found that no meaningful activity tied to the alleged crime occurred in New York.

法官还拒绝了检察官的论点，即应在纽约审理此案。艾森伯格（Eisenberg）在交易时期在波多黎各，法院裁定，与所谓的犯罪没有有意义的活动发生在纽约。

The DOJ had cited a Poughkeepsie-based Mango user and a third-party vendor in Manhattan, but the judge ruled these were not enough to establish proper venue.

司法部列举了一位位于波基普西的芒果用户和曼哈顿的第三方供应商，但法官裁定这些不足以建立适当的场所。

The US government must now decide whether to refile the vacated charges, though the Trump administration has recently signaled a reduced focus on crypto enforcement. Eisenberg still faces civil suits from both the SEC and CFTC.

美国政府现在必须决定是否对撤离指控进行重新指控，尽管特朗普政府最近表明对加密执法的关注减少了。艾森伯格仍然面临SEC和CFTC的民事诉讼。

While this ruling clears Eisenberg in the Mango Markets case, he remains behind bars.

尽管这项裁决在芒果市场案中清除了艾森伯格，但他仍在监狱里。

Eisenberg charged with child pornography

艾森伯格负责儿童色情制品

In a separate case, Eisenberg was sentenced to nearly four years in prison on May 1 after pleading guilty to possessing child pornography — a charge stemming from unrelated evidence uncovered during his arrest.

在另一个案件中，艾森伯格在认罪，于5月1日被判处近四年徒刑，这是因为他被捕期间发现的无关证据，这是指控。

In December 2022, US federal law enforcement authorities had arrested Eisenberg in Puerto Rico. FBI officials charged the hacker with one count of commodities fraud and one count of commodities manipulation.

2022年12月，美国联邦执法部门在波多黎各逮捕了艾森伯格。联邦调查局官员指控黑客犯有一项商品欺诈罪和一项商品操纵罪。

A jury found Eisenberg guilty of wire fraud, commodities fraud, and commodities manipulation in April 2024. The defense argued that the exploit was not a cybercrime and represented a “successful and legal trading strategy.”

陪审团于2024年4月裁定艾森伯格犯有电汇欺诈，商品欺诈和商品操纵的罪名。辩方认为，剥削不是网络犯罪，代表了“成功和法律交易策略”。
