FBI 在盗窃调查中传唤比特币开发者的个人数据

FBI 向比特币非营利组织 Brink 发出传票，要求参加 2022 年比特币核心开发者活动的与会者提供个人信息，作为对开发者 Luke Dashjr 的 216 BTC 被盗事件进行调查的一部分。联合创始人 Mike Schmidt 披露了传票的存在，表示他已向 FBI 提供了与会者的电子邮件地址、GitHub 用户名和姓名，但没有提供有关调查重点的更多细节。

FBI Subpoenas Personal Information of Bitcoin Core Developers in Theft Investigation

In a startling development, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a subpoena demanding the personal information of attendees at a 2022 Bitcoin core developer event. This bombshell revelation comes from Mike Schmidt, co-founder of Bitcoin non-profit Brink, who confirmed via email that he had received the subpoena.

Schmidt's email, shared publicly by a pseudonymous X user named mikeinspace, states that the subpoena is related to a hack that resulted in the theft of 216 BTC from Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr. Schmidt was legally advised to cooperate with the investigation.

施密特的电子邮件由一位名为 mikeinspace 的化名 X 用户公开分享，邮件中指出，该传票与一次黑客攻击有关，该黑客攻击导致比特币开发商 Luke Dashjr 的 216 BTC 被盗。法律建议施密特配合调查。

The subpoena compel Schmidt to provide the FBI with the email addresses, GitHub usernames, and full names of attendees at the October 2022 CoreDev Atlanta event, held just before TABConf 2022. Schmidt was subject to a one-year gag order imposed by the FBI, which expired just before his recent disclosure.

传票迫使 Schmidt 向 FBI 提供 2022 年 10 月在 TABConf 2022 之前举行的 2022 年 10 月 CoreDev 亚特兰大活动参与者的电子邮件地址、GitHub 用户名和全名。Schmidt 受到 FBI 施加的一年禁言令的约束，该协议在他最近披露之前到期。

Schmidt emphasized that he has not had any further contact with the FBI and declined to elaborate on the specifics of the investigation.

施密特强调，他尚未与联邦调查局进行任何进一步接触，并拒绝详细说明调查细节。

This revelation has sent shockwaves through the Bitcoin community, raising concerns about the FBI's motives and the potential for surveillance targeting cryptocurrency users.

这一消息在比特币社区引起了轩然大波，引发了人们对联邦调查局动机以及针对加密货币用户进行监视的可能性的担忧。

"This is a worrisome development," said Jackson Matlock, a spokesperson for Brink. "It raises questions about the FBI's approach to investigating cryptocurrency-related crimes and the potential for encroachment on privacy rights."

“这是一个令人担忧的事态发展，”布林克发言人杰克逊·马特洛克说。 “这引发了人们对联邦调查局调查加密货币相关犯罪的方法以及侵犯隐私权的可能性的质疑。”

Dashjr, the victim of the theft, disclosed in December 2022 that he had lost over 200 BTC due to a Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) key compromise. At the time, the stolen funds were valued at approximately $3.3 million. Today, the value of 200 Bitcoin has skyrocketed to over $14 million.

盗窃事件的受害者 Dashjr 于 2022 年 12 月透露，由于 Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) 密钥泄露，他损失了 200 多个 BTC。当时，被盗资金价值约为 330 万美元。如今，200 个比特币的价值已飙升至超过 1400 万美元。

The FBI's subpoena is not the first time that law enforcement agencies have targeted cryptocurrency users. In 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the FBI collaborated on an investigation into a false tweet claiming the launch of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).

联邦调查局的传票并不是执法机构第一次针对加密货币用户。 2021 年，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 和 FBI 合作对一条声称推出比特币交易所交易基金 (ETF) 的虚假推文进行了调查。

The cryptocurrency community remains vigilant as it monitors the ongoing FBI investigation and its potential implications for the industry. Concerns persist about the balance between law enforcement objectives and the preservation of individual privacy rights in the digital age.

加密货币社区保持警惕，密切关注联邦调查局正在进行的调查及其对行业的潜在影响。人们对数字时代执法目标与保护个人隐私权之间的平衡仍然存在担忧。
