Cypher Protocol Developer's Confession Raises Alarm About Gambling Addiction in Crypto Space

Cypher 协议开发者的坦白引发了人们对加密货币领域赌博成瘾的警惕

In a shocking turn of events, Hoak, the pseudonymous core developer behind the Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) Cypher Protocol, has admitted to absconding with nearly $300,000 in user funds and squandering them on gambling.

令人震惊的是，基于 Solana 的去中心化交易所 (DEX) Cypher Protocol 背后的匿名核心开发人员 Hoak 承认携带近 30 万美元的用户资金潜逃，并将其挥霍在赌博上。

Hoak's confession, shared via a public statement on May 14, confirmed the allegations that had been circulating within the crypto community: "I took the funds and gambled them away. I didn't run away with it, nor did anyone else."

5 月 14 日，霍克在一份公开声明中承认了自己的罪行，证实了加密货币社区中流传的指控：“我拿走了这些资金，然后把它们赌了出去。我没有带着它逃跑，其他人也没有。”

The revelation followed a May 13 post by another pseudonymous core contributor, Cobra, who revealed the missing funds. Discord group members had initially reported issues with fund withdrawals, prompting Cobra's investigation.

在此之前，另一位匿名核心贡献者 Cobra 在 5 月 13 日发布了一篇帖子，披露了失踪的资金。 Discord 组织成员最初报告了资金提取问题，促使 Cobra 展开调查。

Cobra's research revealed a series of suspicious transactions: "Hoak withdrew funds from the Cypher redemption contract via 36 withdrawals... Funds were then swapped and sent to an intermediary wallet, which subsequently transferred them to Binance."

Cobra 的研究揭示了一系列可疑交易：“Hoak 通过 36 次提款从 Cypher 赎回合约中提取了资金……然后资金被交换并发送到中间钱包，该中间钱包随后将其转移到币安。”

On-chain data compiled by Cobra traced a total of $317,000 in Solana (SOL), Tether (USDT), and USD Coin (USDC) from Hoak's wallet to the Binance exchange.

Cobra 编制的链上数据显示，从 Hoak 的钱包到币安交易所的 Solana (SOL)、Tether (USDT) 和 USD Coin (USDC) 共计 317,000 美元。

Hoak's confession sheds light on a disturbing trend emerging in the crypto space: gambling addiction. Hoak himself admitted to the debilitating nature of his gambling compulsion, stating that it had spiraled into "a crippling addiction."

霍克的坦白揭示了加密货币领域出现的令人不安的趋势：赌博成瘾。霍克本人承认赌博强迫症的严重性，并表示它已经演变成“一种严重的瘾”。

While Hoak acknowledged the inexcusable nature of his actions, he lamented the lack of checks and balances that allowed his addiction to go unchecked: "This is the culmination of what snowballed into a crippling gambling addiction and probably multiple other psychological factors that went by unchecked for too long."

虽然霍克承认自己的行为是不可原谅的，但他对缺乏制衡机制而感到遗憾，这使得他的毒瘾无法得到控制：“这是滚雪球般发展成严重赌博成瘾的顶峰，而且可能还有多种其他心理因素，这些因素在过去几年里一直不受控制。”太长。”

The Cypher Protocol incident has dealt a further blow to the embattled DEX, which had previously been hacked in August 2023, resulting in losses of over $1 million.

Cypher Protocol 事件进一步打击了陷入困境的 DEX，该交易所此前曾于 2023 年 8 月遭到黑客攻击，造成超过 100 万美元的损失。

Hoak's confession has raised concerns among regulators and industry experts about the prevalence of gambling addiction within the crypto space. The impulsive and volatile nature of crypto trading has been likened to gambling by many, including the Chair of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler.

霍克的坦白引起了监管机构和行业专家对加密货币领域赌博成瘾盛行的担忧。加密货币交易的冲动性和波动性被许多人比作赌博，其中包括美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler)。

A 2023 YouGov survey revealed that individuals who engage in harmful levels of gambling are five times more likely to invest in cryptocurrencies, highlighting the potential for adverse impacts on this vulnerable group.

2023 年 YouGov 的一项调查显示，参与有害赌博的个人投资加密货币的可能性是其他人的五倍，突显了这一弱势群体可能受到的不利影响。

The Cypher Protocol incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for robust regulations, responsible gambling practices, and support systems to address the growing issue of gambling addiction in the crypto space.

Cypher Protocol 事件清楚地提醒我们需要强有力的监管、负责任的赌博行为和支持系统来解决加密货币领域日益严重的赌博成瘾问题。
