宾夕法尼亚州人在未报告Cryptopunk NFT销售的数百万收入后，对逃税罪认罪

今天，我们的故事是关于一名45岁的宾夕法尼亚州居民，他因未能报告近100个Cryptopunk NFTS而未能报告超过1300万美元（AU澳元）收入超过1300万美元（AU $ 2.260万美元）后对联邦逃税承认。

A 45-year-old Pennsylvania resident has pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion after failing to report over US$13M (AU$20.6M) in income from the sale of nearly 100 CryptoPunk NFTs.

一名45岁的宾夕法尼亚州居民因未能报告超过1000万美元（2.26亿美元）的收入而对联邦逃税表示认罪。

And yes, this appears to be the first major US tax evasion case involving non-fungible tokens (as far as public records show).

是的，这似乎是美国第一个涉及不可杀菌令牌的美国逃税案件（就公共记录所示）。

Coming in hot ahead of Tax Day, the 45-year-old Dillsburg resident, Waylon Wilcox, sold 97 CryptoPunks between 2021 and 2022, amassing millions in profits.

在纳税当天提前很热，这位45岁的迪尔斯堡居民韦伦·威尔科克斯（Waylon Wilcox）在2021年至2022年之间出售了97个加密货币，积累了数百万美元的利润。

But he didn’t declare the transactions, selling the vibrant pixelated monkeys without Uncle Sam getting a cut. In doing so, he evaded about US$3.3M (AU$5.4M) in taxes, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

但是他没有宣布交易，而是在没有山姆叔叔的情况下出售充满活力的像素化猴子。根据宾夕法尼亚州中区的美国检察官办公室的说法，这样做为此，他逃避了大约330万美元（540万美元）的税款。

The timing couldn’t be more symbolic and hilarious: Wilcox entered his guilty plea just ahead of the April 15 IRS tax deadline.

时间安排再好不过是象征性和搞笑的：威尔科克斯（Wilcox）在4月15日IRS税务截止日期之前就进入了有罪的认罪。

For those living under a coding rock, current IRS guidelines state that any sale of digital assets (crypto or NFTs) is a taxable event, and gains must be reported accordingly.

对于居住在编码岩石下的人，当前的IRS指南指出，任何数字资产（加密或NFTS）的任何销售都是应纳税的事件，并且必须相应地报告收益。

Yury Kruty, special agent in charge of the Philadelphia field office, stated:

费城现场办公室负责人尤里·克鲁蒂（Yury Kruty）指出：

“This case serves as a stark reminder that all taxpayers, regardless of the source or complexity of their income, have a legal and moral obligation to report their income accurately and pay the taxes due.”

“此案是一个明显的提醒，所有纳税人，无论收入的来源或复杂性如何，都有法律和道德义务，可以准确地报告其收入并支付应付税款。”

The story gets even crazier.

这个故事变得更加疯狂。

Local outlet Daily Voice reported that while Wilcox’s girlfriend had previously turned to Facebook to request donations for her daughter’s beauty pageant expenses and asked people to “tag someone who needs to pay their taxes,” allegedly, Wilcox himself was sitting on millions in untapped NFT profits.

当地出口每日的声音报告说，尽管威尔科克斯的女友此前曾转向Facebook要求为女儿的选美大赛支出捐款，并要求人们“标记需要缴税的人”，但威尔科克斯本人本人以未开发的NFT利润坐在数百万的NFT上。

Oh, and to top it off, according to the outlet, the mum was reportedly planning to use the winnings to take her daughter on a trip to Disney World. God forbid a man has hobbies!

哦，最重要的是，据媒体说，据报道，妈妈正计划利用奖金带女儿去迪士尼世界。上帝禁止一个男人有爱好！

According to court documents, the reporting omissions weren’t an oversight. The IRS maintains that Wilcox willfully attempted to conceal the transactions, leading to a criminal investigation and the subsequent charges.

根据法院文件，报告遗漏不是监督。美国国税局（IRS）坚持认为，威尔科克斯（Wilcox）故意试图掩盖交易，导致刑事调查和随后的指控。

He now faces a maximum of six years in prison for the tax crimes, though his guilty plea is likely to earn him a lighter sentence under federal guidelines. Sentencing is yet to be scheduled.

现在，他因税收犯罪而面临最高六年的监禁，尽管根据联邦指导方针，他的有罪认罪可能会判处更轻的刑期。量刑尚未安排。
