Celsius Network创始人Alexander Mashinsky因精心策划大规模财务欺诈而面临20年徒刑

加密世界本周再次被震撼，因为前首席执行官兼塞尔斯网络的创始人亚历山大·马辛斯基（Alexander Mashinsky）面临20年徒刑的潜在徒刑

The crypto world was rocked once again this week as Alexander Mashinsky, the former CEO and founder of Celsius Network, is facing a potential 20-year prison sentence for a large-scale financial fraud that defrauded thousands of investors. Mashinsky, a well-known figure in the early growth of decentralized finance (DeFi), is now at the center of one of the most high-profile criminal cases in the digital asset space.

加密货币世界在本周再次被震撼，因为前首席执行官兼CELSIUS Network的创始人Alexander Mashinsky因欺骗数千名投资者的大规模财务欺诈而面临20年徒刑。 Mashinsky是分散金融（DEFI）早期增长的著名人物，现在是数字资产空间中最引人注目的犯罪案件之一的中心。

According to court documents, federal prosecutors are recommending a minimum two decades behind bars for Mashinsky. The former crypto executive is set to be sentenced in December 2024 by a federal judge in New York.

根据法院文件，联邦检察官建议至少要为Mashinsky监禁二十年。这位前加密高管将于2024年12月由纽约联邦法官于2024年12月判刑。

Earlier this year, Mashinsky pleaded guilty to two criminal charges. These charges stem from his role in a fraud that defrauded investors out of millions of dollars while he was running Celsius, a crypto lending platform.

今年早些时候，Mashinsky对两项刑事指控表示认罪。这些指控源于他在欺诈中的作用，该欺诈行为使投资者在经营加密贷款平台Celsius时欺骗了数百万美元。

Prosecutors stated that Mashinsky is still trying to dodge responsibility for his actions and has taken steps to try and protect his assets.

检察官说，马辛斯基仍在试图躲避自己的行为责任，并采取了措施试图保护自己的资产。

In 2022, Celsius filed for bankruptcy after encountering difficulties in handling risky crypto trading ventures. The platform’s collapse had devastating consequences for over 200,000 investors who entrusted their digital assets to Celsius.

2022年，Celsius在处理有风险的加密交易企业方面遇到困难后申请破产。该平台的崩溃对将其数字资产委托给Celsius的200,000多名投资者产生了毁灭性的后果。

At the time of the bankruptcy filing, Celsius held an estimated $430 million to $660 million in customer coins, with some reports suggesting that the total losses to investors could exceed $550 million.

在破产申请时，Celsius估计有4.3亿至6.6亿美元的客户硬币，其中一些报告表明，投资者的总损失可能超过5.5亿美元。

After defrauding investors, Mashinsky used the money to personally enrich himself. He also engaged in a scheme to manipulate the price of Celsius’s native token, CEL.

在欺骗投资者之后，Mashinsky用这笔钱亲自丰富了自己。他还制定了一项计划，以操纵摄氏本地代币的价格。

Investigators discovered that Mashinsky sold an estimated $48 million of his own CEL tokens while the token’s price was being manipulated.

调查人员发现，Mashinsky在操纵代币的价格时出售了大约4,800万美元自己的CEL令牌。

However, despite his plea, prosecutors claimed that Mashinsky continues to deflect responsibility and has taken steps to shield his assets by transferring wealth to family-controlled trusts.

然而，尽管他请求呼吁，但检察官声称，马辛斯基继续偏向责任，并采取了措施，通过将财富转移到家庭控制的信托基金中来掩盖其资产。

In their sentencing memorandum, federal prosecutors argued for a minimum 20-year prison sentence. They highlighted the need to hold Mashinsky fully accountable for his actions and to set a clear precedent for the cryptocurrency industry.

联邦检察官在宣判备忘录中判处至少20年徒刑。他们强调有必要使Mashinsky完全对自己的行为负责，并为加密货币行业树立明确的先例。

Prosecutors said such a sentence would be appropriate both to punish Mashinsky for his crimes and to deter other industry leaders from engaging in similar conduct. They noted the enormity of Mashinsky’s fraud, the sophistication of his schemes, and the devastating impact they had on a large number of investors.

检察官说，这样的判决既适合惩罚Mashinsky的罪行，也可以阻止其他行业领导人从事类似行为。他们指出，马申斯基的欺诈行为，他的计划的复杂性以及他们对大量投资者的破坏性影响。

The Celsius founder was accused of engaging in a sustained effort to deceive investors about the true nature of the company’s business. He was also credited with playing a role in the early growth of DeFi.

Celsius创始人被指控持续努力欺骗投资者有关公司业务的真实本质。他还因在Defi的早期成长中发挥作用而受到赞誉。

Investors were told that their digital assets were safe and being used in low-risk ventures to generate interest for investors. But in reality, Mashinsky and other executives at Celsius were making risky trades with customer money.

投资者被告知，他们的数字资产是安全的，并被用于低风险企业，以引起投资者的兴趣。但实际上，塞尔西乌斯（Celsius）的Mashinsky和其他高管正在用客户资金进行风险交易。

Prosecutors said Mashinsky also lied about the company’s financial stability and used customer money to artificially inflate the value of the CEL token.

检察官说，Mashinsky还对公司的财务稳定性撒谎，并利用客户资金人为地夸大了CEL令牌的价值。

After the Celsius fraud was uncovered, the SEC announced a new initiative to step up its efforts in policing the fast-growing DeFi sector. The agency also stated that it would increase its efforts to identify and punish those who engage in crypto market abuse.

在发现摄氏欺诈之后，SEC宣布了一项新的计划，以加大对快速增长的Defi行业进行治安的努力。该机构还表示，它将增加其识别和惩罚从事加密货币市场滥用的人的努力。

Earlier this year, the SEC sued a former Celsius executive for allegedly defrauding investors in a high-yield crypto interest account program.

今年早些时候，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）起诉了一名前塞尔西乌斯（Celsius）高管，据称涉嫌在高产加密货币帐户计划中欺骗投资者。

In December 2024, Mashinsky is set to be sentenced by a federal judge in New York.

2024年12月，Mashinsky将由纽约联邦法官判刑。

As the fallout from the Celsius scandal continues to unfold, analysts are still trying to understand what caused the recent surge in the CEL token.

随着摄氏丑闻的影响继续展开，分析师仍在试图了解导致CEL代币最近激增的原因。

Following the news of the sentencing recommendation, CEL experienced a significant price rally. The token surged by more than 70%, reaching a trading price of $0.15.

在宣判推荐的消息之后，CEL经历了重大的价格集会。代币飙升了70％以上，达到0.15美元的交易价格。

CEL saw extreme volatility, with its price ranging from a daily low of $0.08667 to a high of $0.1782. Despite this recent spike, CEL remains more than 98% below its all-time high of $8.02, which it reached in June 2021.

CEL看到了极端波动，其价格从每日低点为0.08667美元到高度为0.1782美元。尽管最近有这种峰值，但CEL仍低于其历史最高高度8.02美元的98％以上，该高点在2021年6月达到。

Analysts are still debating the reasons behind the sudden jump in CEL’s price. Some suggest that short-term traders may be capitalizing on the token’s volatility.

分析师仍在争论CEL价格突然上涨的原因。一些人认为，短期交易者可能会利用令牌的波动。

Other reports speculate that rumors of potential restructuring or acquisition plans for Celsius could be fueling speculative interest among traders. Additionally, there is speculation that the token's price movement might be linked to purported price manipulation activities.

其他报告推测，有关摄氏的潜在重组或收购计划的谣言可能会激发交易者投机性的利益。此外，有人猜测，令牌的价格变动可能与所谓的价格操纵活动有关。

However, the long-term outlook for CEL remains uncertain as the fallout from the Celsius scandal continues to unfold, and the full implications of the sentencing recommendation are yet to be determined.

但是，随着摄氏丑闻的后果继续展开，CEL的长期前景仍然不确定，判决建议的全部含义尚未确定。
