In a groundbreaking case that has sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency world, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged two brothers for their alleged involvement in a sophisticated theft of $25 million from the Ethereum blockchain.

在一个震惊整个加密货币世界的开创性案件中，美国司法部 (DOJ) 对两兄弟提出指控，指控他们涉嫌参与从以太坊区块链窃取 2500 万美元的复杂盗窃案。

Anton Peraire-Bueno, 24, and James Peraire-Bueno, 28, have been arrested in Boston and New York, respectively, and face charges of wire fraud and money laundering. The charges stem from a heist that authorities say was executed with astonishing precision and speed.

24 岁的安东·佩雷尔-布埃诺 (Anton Peraire-Bueno) 和 28 岁的詹姆斯·佩雷尔-布埃诺 (James Peraire-Bueno) 分别在波士顿和纽约被捕，面临电汇欺诈和洗钱指控。这些指控源自一起抢劫案，当局称这起抢劫案的执行速度和精确度令人震惊。

According to an indictment unsealed on Wednesday, the Peraire-Bueno brothers masterfully exploited the Ethereum blockchain, using their advanced knowledge of computer science and mathematics to execute the theft in a mere 12 seconds. The indictment paints a picture of a highly organized scheme that allegedly leveraged the immutability and transparency of the blockchain to the brothers' advantage.

根据周三启封的起诉书，Peraire-Bueno 兄弟巧妙地利用了以太坊区块链，利用他们先进的计算机科学和数学知识在短短 12 秒内实施了盗窃。起诉书描绘了一个组织严密的计划，据称该计划利用区块链的不变性和透明度为兄弟俩谋取利益。

"The actions of these individuals have shaken the trust in established blockchain protocols," said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams for the Southern District of New York. "This case is a stark reminder that even in the realm of digital currencies, criminal activity can run rampant."

纽约南区美国检察官达米安·威廉姆斯 (Damian Williams) 表示：“这些人的行为动摇了人们对已建立的区块链协议的信任。” “此案清楚地提醒我们，即使在数字货币领域，犯罪活动也可能猖獗。”

Customs and Border Protection and the New York City Police Department. The success of the investigation underscores the growing focus of law enforcement agencies on addressing the challenges posed by blockchain-related crimes.

导致起诉书的调查由 IRS-CI 纽约网络调查部门牵头，与美国海关和边境保护局以及纽约市警察局合作。调查的成功凸显了执法机构日益关注解决区块链相关犯罪带来的挑战。

"IRS-CI will continue to leverage its expertise to pursue those who seek to exploit the cryptocurrency ecosystem."

纽约 IRS-CI 特工负责人詹姆斯·安东尼 (James Anothony) 表示：“此案凸显了执法机构之间合作打击复杂金融犯罪的重要性。” “IRS-CI 将继续利用其专业知识来追捕那些寻求利用加密货币生态系统的人。”

As the use of digital currencies becomes increasingly prevalent, the stakes are high to protect investors and prevent the erosion of trust in this emerging financial sector.

Peraire-Bueno 兄弟的被捕和对他们的起诉发出了一个明确的信息，即司法部致力于维护加密货币市场的完整性。随着数字货币的使用变得越来越普遍，保护投资者并防止对这个新兴金融领域的信任受到侵蚀的风险很高。
