前美国证券交易委员会主席杰伊·克莱顿（Jay Clayton）已开始在涉及加密欺诈的刑事案件中发表陈述。

在4月23日的通知中，美国检察官办公室说，尤金·威廉·奥斯丁（Eugene William Austin），也称为休·奥斯丁（Hugh Austin），被判处18年徒刑

Recently appointed interim US Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and former chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission Jay Clayton has begun offering statements in criminal cases involving crypto fraud.

最近被任命为纽约南部地区（SDNY）的临时律师，并且是美国证券交易委员会前主席Jay Clayton已开始在涉及加密欺诈的刑事案件中发表陈述。

In an April 23 notice, the US Attorney’s Office said Eugene William Austin, also known as Hugh Austin, had been sentenced to 18 years in prison following his conviction on conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property. Together with his son, Brandon, sentenced to four years, Austin offered fraudulent crypto investment services, resulting in roughly $12 million in losses to more than 24 people.

在4月23日的通知中，美国检察官办公室说，尤金·威廉·奥斯丁（Eugene William Austin）（也称为休·奥斯汀）被判判处18年徒刑，因为他对串谋犯有电汇欺诈，串谋洗钱以及串谋犯有偷窃财产的交通罪。奥斯丁与他的儿子布兰登（Brandon）被判处四年徒刑，提供了欺诈性加密投资服务，给超过24人带来了大约1200万美元的损失。

“For years, Hugh Austin was the leader of a fraud and money laundering scheme that stole more than $12 million from more than two dozen victims and involved his own son in his crimes,” said Clayton. “They worked together to rip off victims and were spending investor money on personal expenses, like luxury hotels and a lavish lifestyle. Austin will now be held accountable for the harm he caused to individual investors and others.”

克莱顿说：“多年来，休·奥斯汀（Hugh Austin）一直是欺诈和洗钱计划的领导者，该计划从二十多名受害者那里偷走了超过1200万美元，并卷入了自己的儿子犯罪。” “他们共同努力剥夺受害者，并将投资者的钱花在个人支出上，例如豪华酒店和奢侈的生活方式。奥斯汀现在将对他对个人投资者和其他人造成的伤害负责。”

The criminal case involving digital assets marked one of Clayton’s first public statements since becoming the interim US Attorney on April 22. US President Donald Trump nominated Clayton on Jan. 20 when he took office. The district has since seen the resignation of acting US Attorney Danielle Sassoon in response to the Justice Department directing her to halt a case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

涉及数字资产的刑事案件标志着克莱顿（Clayton）于4月22日成为临时美国检察官以来的第一个公开声明之一。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）于1月20日上任时提名克莱顿。此后，该地区看到了代理美国检察官丹妮尔·萨桑（Danielle Sassoon）的辞职，以回应司法部，指示她停止对纽约市市长埃里克·亚当斯（Eric Adams）案。

Under current law, Clayton can serve as interim US Attorney for the district for 120 days without Senate confirmation. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blocked a vote on Clayton’s nomination, saying Trump had “no fidelity to the law.”

根据现行法律，克莱顿可以在没有参议院确认的情况下担任该地区的临时律师120天。参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）对克莱顿的提名进行了投票，称特朗普“对法律没有忠诚”。

Clayton will likely oversee SDNY during the sentencing hearing for former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky and potentially other criminal cases involving cryptocurrency. The district is home to ​​Wall Street firms and many of the country’s most prominent financial institutions.

克莱顿（Clayton）可能会在前塞尔斯（Celsius）首席执行官亚历克斯·马什斯基（Alex Mashinsky）和其他涉及加密货币的刑事案件中监督SDNY。该地区是华尔街公司和该国许多最杰出的金融机构的所在地。
