退休的艺术家损失了超过200万美元的加密货币，涉及某人作为共同支持代表的人

现年67岁的苏曼（Suman）在艺术界担任制造商近二十年，帮助建立了诸如杰夫·昆斯（Jeff Koons）的气球狗雕塑之类的备受瞩目的作品

A retired artist who lost over $2 million in cryptocurrency earlier this year after falling victim to a scam involving someone posing as a Coinbase support representative has spoken out about his ordeal.

一位退休的艺术家在今年早些时候损失了超过200万美元的加密货币，因为他们陷入了骗局的受害者，涉及一个冒充的人作为Coinbase Support代表代表的人就他的磨难发表了说法。

Ed Suman, 67, spent nearly two decades as a fabricator in the art world, helping build high-profile works such as Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog sculptures, according to a May 17 report by Bloomberg.

据彭博社5月17日报道，现年67岁的埃德·苏曼（Ed Suman）在艺术界担任制造商近二十年，帮助建造了杰夫·昆斯（Jeff Koons）的气球狗雕塑等备受瞩目的作品。

After retiring, he turned to cryptocurrency investing, eventually accumulating 17.5 Bitcoin (BTC) and 225 Ether (ETH) — a portfolio that comprised most of his retirement savings.

退休后，他转向加密货币投资，最终积累了17.5比特币（BTC）和225 Ether（ETH），这是他大部分退休储蓄的投资组合。

He stored the funds in a Trezor Model One, a hardware wallet commonly used by crypto holders to avoid the risks of exchange hacks. But in March, Suman received a text message appearing to be from Coinbase, warning him of unauthorized account access.

他将资金存储在Trezor Model One中，这是加密货币持有者通常使用的硬件钱包，以避免交换黑客的风险。但是在三月份，苏曼收到了一条短信，似乎来自Coinbase，警告他未经授权的帐户访问。

After responding, he got a phone call from a man identifying himself as a Coinbase security staffer named Brett Miller. The caller appeared knowledgeable, correctly stating that Suman’s funds were stored in a hardware wallet.

回应后，他接到一个男子的电话，将自己识别为一个名叫布雷特·米勒（Brett Miller）的Coinbase安全人员。呼叫者显得有知识渊博，正确地指出，苏曼的资金存储在硬件钱包中。

He then convinced Suman that his wallet could still be vulnerable and walked him through a “security procedure” that involved entering his seed phrase into a website mimicking Coinbase’s interface.

然后，他说服苏曼（Suman），他的钱包仍然很脆弱，并带领他完成了“安全程序”，其中涉及将他的种子短语进入模仿Coinbase界面的网站。

Nine days later, a second caller claiming to be from Coinbase repeated the process. By the end of that call, all of Suman’s crypto holdings were gone.

九天后，第二个声称来自Coinbase的呼叫者重复了这一过程。到那次电话结束时，苏曼的所有加密货币控股都消失了。
