基于电报的加密货币项目Blum的联合创始人Vladimir Smerkis因涉嫌大规模欺诈而在莫斯科被捕。

The Zamoskvoretsky District Court granted the request from state investigators to approve the detention of Smerkis, as reported by Russian news agency TASS on Sunday.

Zamoskvoretsky地方法院批准了州调查人员批准拘留Smerkis的请求，正如俄罗斯新闻社Tass周日报道的那样。

The charges against Smerkis are based on Article 159 of Russia’s criminal code, which pertains to serious fraud crimes. If found guilty, Smerkis could face up to 12 years in prison. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether formal charges have been filed.

针对Smerkis的指控是基于俄罗斯刑法第159条，该法规与严重的欺诈罪有关。如果被判有罪，Smerkis可能会面临长达12年的监禁。当局尚未确认是否已提起正式指控。

Local media outlet Mash linked this case to previous crypto ventures started by Smerkis, namely ‘The Token Fund and Tokenbox’. Both platforms were launched in 2017. Together, those projects reportedly led to losses of around $15 million for investors.

当地媒体媒体Mash将此案与Smerkis发起的以前的Crypto Ventures联系起来，即“令牌基金和令牌”。这两个平台均在2017年启动。据报道，这些项目损失了约1500万美元的投资者。

Although Blum is not connected to these older ventures, the incident has brought the project into sharper focus. Notably, Smerkis also once led operations for Binance Russia.

尽管Blum与这些较旧的合资企业没有连接，但该事件使该项目变得更加焦点。值得注意的是，Smerkis也曾经为俄罗斯的Binance带来了行动。

In response, Blum posted on X that Smerkis has stepped down as its Chief Marketing Officer and is no longer part of the project. The company remains “fully committed” to its roadmap and will continue normal operations.

作为回应，布鲁姆（Blum）在X上发布了Smerkis卸任首席营销官，并且不再是该项目的一部分。该公司仍然“完全致力于”其路线图，并将继续正常运营。

However, the timing of the arrest has caused anxiety among the Blum community. Many users are now raising concerns over the fate of the BLUM token airdrop, originally set for Q3 2025. The airdrop was to be linked to Blum’s gamified point system through its Telegram-based Drop Game.

但是，逮捕的时机引起了布鲁姆社区的焦虑。现在，许多用户对Blum代币Airdrop的命运提出了担忧，该空调最初定于Q3 2025。该空调将通过其基于电报的Drop Game与Blum的Gamifit Point System链接。

“Blum owes its users a clarification on the planned airdrop,” one X user wrote. Several others expressed similar concerns, calling for transparency amid the uncertainty.

一位X用户写道：“ Blum欠其用户对计划的空投澄清。”其他一些人也表示类似的担忧，要求在不确定性中提高透明度。
