12名新被告用加密货币盗窃环，通过搅拌机和爱马仕Birkin Bags洗钱了2.63亿美元

美国检察官Jeanine Ferris Pirro，联邦调查局特工Sean Ryan和IRS-CI执行人特别代理人Kareem A. Carter宣布的起诉书指责该组织（包括美国和外国国民），包括StarcheTeering，电线欺诈和妨碍司法的罪行。

U.S. authorities have charged 12 additional defendants in a sprawling RICO conspiracy that allegedly involved over $263 million in cryptocurrency thefts, money laundering, and coordinated home invasions, according to a superseding indictment unsealed this week.

根据本周取代的起诉书本周，美国当局涉嫌涉嫌盗窃加密货币盗窃，洗钱和协调的房屋入侵涉及超过2.63亿美元的加密货币盗窃罪，并涉及12名被告。

The indictment, announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro, FBI Special Agent Sean Ryan, and IRS-CI Executive Special Agent Kareem A. Carter, accuses the group—composed of U.S. and foreign nationals—of crimes including racketeering, wire fraud, and obstruction of justice. The alleged enterprise, which began operating in October 2023 and continued until March 2025, arose from connections made on online gaming platforms.

美国检察官Jeanine Ferris Pirro，联邦调查局特工Sean Ryan和IRS-CI执行人特别代理人Kareem A. Carter宣布的起诉书指责该组织（包括美国和外国国民），包括StarcheTeering，电线欺诈和妨碍司法的罪行。据称的企业始于2023年10月，一直持续到2025年3月，这是由在线游戏平台上建立的连接而产生的。

Members of the group reportedly held specialized roles, including hackers who stole cryptocurrency databases, “callers” who used social engineering to trick victims into sending cryptocurrency, and burglars who physically stole hardware wallets, law enforcement officials claim.

据报道，该小组的成员曾担任专业角色，包括偷走加密货币数据库的黑客，“呼叫者”使用社会工程来欺骗受害者来派遣加密货币，以及偷偷摸摸的硬件钱包的盗窃者。

Prosecutors further maintain that the group laundered the stolen proceeds through cryptocurrency mixers, created “peel chains” to siphon off smaller amounts of cryptocurrency from larger transactions, and set up shell companies to process payments. They also allegedly used the stolen funds to purchase lavish rentals, private jets, and 28 exotic cars—some worth up to $3.8 million each.

检察官进一步坚持认为，该组织通过加密货币混合器洗钱，创建了“剥离链”，以从较大的交易中消除少量的加密货币，并设立壳牌公司以处理付款。据称，他们还使用被盗的资金购买了豪华的租金，私人喷气机和28辆异国情调的汽车，每辆车价值高达380万美元。

The indictment details an extravagant lifestyle fueled by the illicit gains, including $4 million spent at nightclubs, $500,000 on watches, and the delivery of Hermès Birkin bags to associates.

起诉书详细介绍了非法收益的奢侈生活方式，其中包括在夜总会花费的400万美元，手表上的500,000美元，以及将爱马仕的伯金袋交付给员工。

One theft, which occurred in August 2024, allegedly yielded 4,100 bitcoin (valued at $230 million at the time; now worth over $423 million) from a victim in Washington, D.C. In another instance, members broke into a New Mexico home to steal a hardware wallet while monitoring the victim’s location and activity through iCloud.

据称，一项盗窃案发生在2024年8月，当时有4,100个比特币（当时价值2.3亿美元；现在价值超过4.23亿美元），来自华盛顿特区的一名受害者，另一个情况下，成员闯入了​​新墨西哥州的房屋，以窃取受害人的位置和通过Icloud监视受害者的位置和活动。

Two suspects remain at large in Dubai, while seven were arrested in California this week. The remaining three had previously been arrested in New York and Florida.

迪拜有两名犯罪嫌疑人在迪拜仍在大国，而本周有7名嫌疑人在加利福尼亚被捕。其余三人先前在纽约和佛罗里达州被捕。

The DOJ alleges that co-conspirators continued operations even after some were arrested, delivering bundles of cash in stuffed animals through the mail as part of an effort to move the stolen funds.

司法部声称，即使被捕后，同谋仍在继续运营，并通过邮件将毛绒动物的现金捆绑在一起，作为驱动盗窃资金的努力的一部分。

The case, which is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Rosenberg, involved collaboration between the FBI’s Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Miami field offices.

该案由美国助理检察官凯文·罗森伯格（Kevin Rosenberg）处理，涉及联邦调查局的华盛顿特区，洛杉矶和迈阿密现场办事处之间的合作。

If convicted, the defendants face sentences that will be determined based on federal sentencing guidelines and other applicable law.

如果被定罪，被告面临将根据联邦量刑准则和其他适用法律确定的刑罚。
