退休的艺术家损失了超过200万美元的加密货币，涉及一个摆姿势作为共同支持的人的骗局

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。

A retired artist who previously helped build Jeff Koons sculptures has lost more than $2 million in cryptocurrency after falling victim to a scam earlier this year.

一位退休的艺术家以前曾帮助建造杰夫·昆斯（Jeff Koons）雕塑，在今年早些时候陷入骗局的受害者之后，损失了超过200万美元的加密货币。

Ed Suman, 67, also fabricated works by other prominent art-world figures during a career that spanned nearly two decades. After retiring, he turned to cryptocurrency investing.

现年67岁的埃德·苏曼（Ed Suman）在跨越近二十年的职业生涯中还制作了其他著名艺术世界人物的作品。退休后，他转向加密货币投资。

Suman’s interest in the crypto space began after his brother introduced him to Bitcoin (BTC) in 2014. He gradually began buying crypto, eventually accumulating 17.5 BTC and 225 Ether (ETH).

苏曼（Suman）对加密货币空间的兴趣始于他的兄弟于2014年向他介绍比特币（BTC）。他逐渐开始购买加密货币，最终积累了17.5 BTC和225 Ether（ETH）。

The majority of Suman’s retirement savings were tied up in his crypto portfolio, which he stored in a Trezor Model One hardware wallet.

苏曼（Suman）的大部分退休储蓄都被捆绑在他的加密产品组合中，他将其存储在Trezor Model One硬件钱包中。

March brought a text message that appeared to be from Coinbase, warning Suman of unauthorized account access. He responded, and soon after received a phone call from a man claiming to be a Coinbase security staffer named Brett Miller.

3月带来了一条短信，该消息似乎来自Coinbase，警告未经授权的帐户访问的Suman。他回应了，不久之后，他接到一名声称是一个名叫布雷特·米勒（Brett Miller）的共同安全人员的电话。

The caller appeared knowledgeable, correctly stating that Suman’s funds were stored in a hardware wallet and that his family members’ names were on his Coinbase account.

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，他的家人的名字在他的Coinbase帐户上。

But he added that hardware wallets could still be vulnerable and induced Suman to cooperate with a “security procedure.” This involved entering his seed phrase into a website mimicking Coinbase’s interface.

但是他补充说，硬件钱包仍然可能是脆弱的，并引起了Suman与“安全程序”合作。这涉及将他的种子短语进入模仿Coinbase界面的网站。

Over the course of nine days in March, Suman received a total of three calls from numbers that appeared to belong to Coinbase.

在三月份的九天中，苏曼总共收到了似乎属于Coinbase的电话的三个电话。

During the third and final call, a second caller, who also claimed to be a Coinbase security staffer, again convinced Suman to enter his seed phrase into the fake Coinbase interface.

在第三个也是最后一个电话中，第二个声称是共同安全人员的第二个来电者再次说服了苏曼将他的种子短语输入伪造的coinbase界面。

By the end of that call, all of Suman’s crypto holdings were gone.

到那次电话结束时，苏曼的所有加密货币控股都消失了。
