利希滕斯坦一人偷走了12万个比特币

伊利亚·利希滕斯坦 (Ilya Lichtenstein) 在直接向公众发表的讲话中承认了与 2016 年盗窃约 120 件物品有关的指控。

Ilya Lichtenstein, who pleaded guilty last year to charges connected to the 2016 theft of about 120,000 Bitcoin from the crypto exchange Bitfinex, made a new statement on Thursday in a direct address to the public, refuting alleged third-party involvement in the hack.

伊利亚·利希滕斯坦 (Ilya Lichtenstein) 去年承认了与 2016 年从加密货币交易所 Bitfinex 盗窃约 12 万比特币有关的指控，周四在直接向公众发表的讲话中发表了新声明，驳斥了第三方参与黑客攻击的指控。

His five-minute video, posted to X, marks Lichtenstein’s first publicly available statement since his arrest in 2022. He directly challenged claims made in a Netflix documentary suggesting his father — or any external party, including possible foreign intelligence agencies — participated in the infamous heist.

他发布在 X 上的 5 分钟视频是利希滕斯坦自 2022 年被捕以来首次公开发表的声明。他直接质疑了 Netflix 纪录片中的说法，该纪录片暗示他的父亲 - 或任何外部方，包括可能的外国情报机构 - 参与了臭名昭著的事件抢劫。

“I planned and executed the Bitfinex heist entirely by myself,” Lichtenstein said, speaking to the camera. “And I am the one who bears full responsibility for everything that has happened.”

“Bitfinex 抢劫案是我完全由我自己策划和实施的，”利希滕斯坦对着镜头说道。 “而我是对所发生的一切负全部责任的人。”

He further disputed other speculations, stating: “Any allegations that my elderly and not at all tech-savvy father had any involvement in any hacking activity ever are completely false and frankly absurd.”

他进一步反驳了其他猜测，并表示：“任何关于我年迈且不懂技术的父亲参与任何黑客活动的指控都是完全错误的，坦率地说是荒谬的。”

The 2016 hack of Bitfinex stands as one of the most significant security breaches in crypto history. At the time, the theft of 120,000 Bitcoin was valued at approximately $72 million, though the current market value of those coins is estimated to exceed $12.6 billion.

2016 年 Bitfinex 的黑客攻击是加密货币历史上最重大的安全漏洞之一。当时，被盗的 12 万枚比特币价值约为 7200 万美元，但这些比特币目前的市场价值估计超过 126 亿美元。

Prosecutors have previously noted that Ilya’s wife, Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan, became involved only after the fact, having pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States.

检察官此前曾指出，伊利亚的妻子希瑟·“拉兹勒汉”·摩根是在事后才介入的，她承认了一项共谋洗钱罪名和一项共谋诈骗美国罪名。

In the video, Lichtenstein maintained that Morgan’s role did not extend to hacking or orchestrating the theft itself. “While it is true that my wife pleaded guilty to laundering a small portion of the funds, she was in no way involved in the hack itself,” he said. “She didn’t even know about it for years.”

在视频中，利希滕斯坦坚称摩根的角色并未延伸至黑客攻击或策划盗窃本身。 “虽然我的妻子确实承认洗了一小部分资金，但她绝没有参与黑客攻击本身，”他说。 “她多年来都不知道这件事。”

According to official statements and the plea agreement, Lichtenstein has been cooperating with authorities to facilitate the return of stolen funds. During the video, he reiterated these efforts.

根据官方声明和认罪协议，利希滕斯坦一直在与当局合作，以协助归还被盗资金。在视频中，他重申了这些努力。

“For the past three years, I have worked hard to account for and return all assets down to the last Satoshi as required by my plea agreement,” Lichtenstein said. “And I will continue to do so throughout the forfeiture and restitution process, which is expected to return more than $10 billion by the first quarter of next year.”

Lichtenstein 表示：“在过去的三年里，我一直按照认罪协议的要求，努力清查所有资产并将其归还给最后一位聪。” “我将在整个没收和归还过程中继续这样做，预计到明年第一季度将返还超过 100 亿美元。”

Lichtenstein openly acknowledged his wrongdoing. “I hacked Bitfinex. I stole and laundered thousands of Bitcoin. And I am so sorry for everything,” he said.

利希滕斯坦公开承认自己的错误行为。 “我入侵了 Bitfinex。我偷了并洗了数千比特币。我对这一切感到非常抱歉，”他说。

He expressed remorse and a desire to make amends, describing himself as having made “one bad selfish decision after another” during the period of the hack and its aftermath.

他表达了悔恨和弥补的愿望，称自己在黑客攻击及其后果期间做出了“一个又一个糟糕的自私决定”。

Emphasizing his sole responsibility, Lichtenstein stated: “Nobody else except for me is responsible for the hack.”

利希滕斯坦强调他独自承担责任，他表示：“除了我之外，没有人对这次黑客攻击负责。”

He also indicated plans for his future following the completion of his prison sentence. “When I am released from prison about a year from now, I plan to dedicate myself to working in the cybersecurity industry,” Lichtenstein said.

他还表示了刑满释放后的未来计划。 “大约一年后我出狱时，我计划全身心投入网络安全行业，”利希滕斯坦说。

Claiming a unique perspective informed by his past illicit activities, Lichtenstein believes he can contribute to cybersecurity defenses going forward. “Nobody understands how hackers think like someone who has been a hacker,” he said. “I know the cyber threats that we face, and I know how to stop them.”

利希滕斯坦声称自己过去的非法活动所带来的独特视角，相信他可以为未来的网络安全防御做出贡献。 “没有人能像曾经当过黑客的人一样理解黑客是如何思考的，”他说。 “我知道我们面临的网络威胁，也知道如何阻止它们。”

All claims, as Lichtenstein noted, can be verified by publicly available court documents. He advised Netflix viewers to read these documents to develop their own informed conclusions.

正如利希滕斯坦指出的那样，所有主张都可以通过公开的法庭文件得到证实。他建议 Netflix 观众阅读这些文件，以得出自己的明智结论。

“You don’t have to take my word for it,” Lichtenstein said. “All of the court documents laying out the facts of the case are publicly available. You can read them yourself and make up your own mind.”

“你不必相信我的话，”利希滕斯坦说。 “列出案件事实的所有法庭文件都是公开的。你可以自己阅读并做出决定。”

Neither representatives of Bitfinex nor Netflix have publicly commented on Lichtenstein’s video at the time of reporting.

截至报道时，Bitfinex 和 Netflix 的代表均未对 Lichtenstein 的视频发表公开评论。
