美国司法部要求摄氏创始人Alex Mashinsky判处20年徒刑

美国司法部已要求对塞尔西乌斯的创始人兼前首席执行官亚历克斯·马申斯基（Alex Mashinsky）严格判刑，这是因为他在现已停产的加密货币贷款平台的运营中发挥了作用。

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has requested a twenty-year prison sentence for Alex Mashinsky, the founder and former CEO of Celsius, for his role in the operations of the now-defunct cryptocurrency lending platform.

美国司法部（DOJ）要求塞尔西乌斯（Celsius）的创始人兼前首席执行官Alex Mashinsky判处二十年徒刑，因为他在现已失去的加密货币贷款平台的运营中扮演了角色。

According to the DOJ, Mashinsky’s actions were not merely negligent but deliberate, as indicated in parts of his defense, which the DOJ said was an attempt to downplay his role in the fraud.

根据司法部的说法，马辛斯基的行动不仅是疏忽大意，而且是故意的，正如他的部分辩护中所表明的那样，司法部说这是试图忽略他在欺诈中的作用。

However, the DOJ has requested the court to sentence Mashinsky to twenty years in prison for his role in the Celsius fraud, which resulted in the loss of billions of dollars in investor funds.

但是，司法部已要求法院因他在摄氏欺诈中的角色而判处Mashinsky判处二十年徒刑，这导致投资者资金损失了数十亿美元。

The DOJ submitted a 97-page sentencing memorandum on April 28, arguing for this recommendation and highlighting that victims of the scheme have been unable to withdraw their cryptocurrencies since the platform suspended operations.

司法部于4月28日提交了一份长达97页的量刑备忘录，并提出了这一建议，并强调该计划的受害者由于该平台暂停操作而无法撤回其加密货币。

In the memo, the DOJ stated, “The Court should sentence Alexander Mashinsky to twenty years’ imprisonment as just punishment for his years-long campaign of lies and self-dealing that left in its wake billions in losses and thousands of victimized customers.”

司法部在备忘录中说：“法院应判处亚历山大·马什斯基（Alexander Mashinsky）判处20年徒刑，这只是对他多年来的谎言和自我交易的惩罚，这在其唤醒数十亿美元的损失和成千上万的受害客户中留下了。”

Mashinsky Pled Guilty

Mashinsky认罪

This follows Mashinsky’s plea of guilty to two criminal counts, including one count of “misrepresenting the safety and liquidity of customer deposits” and one count of price manipulation of Celsius’s token, CEL, to artificially increase the price of the coin and improve his wealth.

这是在马申斯基对两项犯罪罪名的认罪之后，其中包括一项“歪曲客户存款的安全性和流动性”的罪名，以及一项对摄氏的价格操纵的罪名，以人为地提高硬币价格并改善他的财富。

In his plea, Mashinsky admitted to leading operations at Celsius and being fully aware of the criminal activities taking place. He also confessed to siphoning over $48 million into his personal accounts.

Mashinsky在他的恳求中承认在Celsius进行了领导行动，并充分意识到正在发生的犯罪活动。他还承认，将超过4,800万美元的个人帐户盗用。

Based on this admission, the DOJ concluded that Mashinsky intentionally deceived investors and misappropriated their funds.

根据这一承认，司法部得出的结论是，马辛斯基故意欺骗了投资者并挪用了他们的资金。

Scams in the crypto world are unfortunately widespread, but it’s clear that authorities and the global community are taking them more seriously.

不幸的是，加密世界中的骗局很普遍，但是很明显，当局和全球社区正在更加认真地对待它们。

For instance, ZachXBT, a well-known crypto investigator, recently discovered a suspicious transaction involving 3,520 BTC, valued at $330.7 million. The Bitcoin was allegedly stolen and laundered through multiple exchanges, finally being swapped for Monero (XMR).

例如，著名的加密调查员Zachxbt最近发现了一项可疑交易，涉及3,520 BTC，价值3.3亿美元。据称，比特币通过多次交易所被盗并洗钱，最终被换成Monero（XMR）。

This resulted in a 50% price surge in XMR, highlighting the increasing scrutiny on such activities.

这导致XMR的价格上涨了50％，强调了对此类活动的审查越来越大。
