The case arose from a broader investigation by the FBI into a cybercrime group known for large-scale SIM-swapping operations and spearheading substantial financial fraud.

该案源于联邦调查局（FBI）对一个以大规模的模拟运营行动而闻名的网络犯罪集团的广泛调查，并率先率领大量财务欺诈。

The DOJ said the actions by Council and his co-conspirators led to a momentary but significant spike in the price of bitcoin.

The DOJ noted that the price of bitcoin rose by more than $1,000 following the post, which was quickly deleted by X. However, the post’s impact on the crypto market was evident as the price of BTC decreased by more than $2,000 following the correction from the post’s influence.

理事会及其同谋的行动对金融市场也具有更大的影响。黑客模拟SEC和传播虚假信息的能力可能破坏了市场的稳定，并侵蚀了公众对金融体系的信任。
