Terraform Labs former CEO Do Kwon has refuted the fraud allegations against him for his role in the $40 billion losses related to the collapse of the company’s cryptocurrencies. The crypto mogul was finally extradited to the US on Dec. 31 and will face the weight of the US justice system.

Terraform Labs 前首席执行官 Do Kwon 驳斥了针对他的欺诈指控，因为他在与该公司加密货币崩溃相关的 400 亿美元损失中所扮演的角色。这位加密货币大亨最终于 12 月 31 日被引渡到美国，并将面临美国司法系统的审判。

“As we allege, this fraud and the crash of Terraform’s cryptocurrencies in May 2022 erased over $40 billion in investor assets, causing devastating losses to countless investors in the United States and around the world. Kwon will now face justice in a federal courtroom in Manhattan,” said Daniel M. Gitner, Attorney for the United States for the New York Southern District.

“正如我们所指控的，这一欺诈行为以及 Terraform 加密货币在 2022 年 5 月的崩盘使投资者损失了超过 400 亿美元的资产，给美国和世界各地的无数投资者造成了毁灭性的损失。纽约南区美国检察官丹尼尔·M·吉特纳 (Daniel M. Gitner) 表示，权现在将在曼哈顿的联邦法庭接受审判。

After many back-and-forths between Montenegrin, US, and South Korean authorities over which jurisdiction would handle his fraud case, Montenegro eventually greenlit his deportation to the US. Despite being citizens of both countries, Kwon seemingly leaned towards a South Korean extradition which would afford him potentially less severe penalties.

经过黑山、美国和韩国当局就哪个司法管辖区处理他的欺诈案进行多次反复后，黑山最终批准将他驱逐到美国。尽管是两国公民，权似乎倾向于韩国引渡，这将使他受到可能不那么严厉的处罚。

Shortly after his arrest in Montenegro in 2023 for trying to use a fake passport to travel to Dubai, Kwon was initially indicted of eight counts of fraud by US prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.

2023 年，权因试图使用假护照前往迪拜而在黑山被捕后不久，他最初被纽约南区的美国检察官起诉八项欺诈罪。

Upon his arrival to the US, the 33-year-old made his first court appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger of the Southern District of New York and has allegedly pleaded not guilty to the fraudulent offenses he’s charged with.

抵达美国后，这位 33 岁的男子首次在纽约南区美国治安法官罗伯特·W·莱尔伯格 (Robert W. Lehrburger) 面前出庭，据称他对被指控的欺诈罪表示不认罪。

The charges include two counts of commodities fraud, two counts of securities fraud, two counts of wire fraud, two counts of conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, securities, and wire fraud, and one count of money laundering conspiracy. For all these offenses, Kwon could spend a total of 130 years behind bars, if convicted.

这些指控包括两项商品欺诈罪、两项证券欺诈罪、两项电汇欺诈罪、两项共谋实施商品欺诈、证券和电汇欺诈罪，以及一项共谋洗钱罪。对于所有这些罪行，如果罪名成立，权可能会在监狱里总共度过 130 年的牢狱生涯。

A superseding indictment by the Federal Prosecutors alleges that “From at least in or about 2018, up to and including in or about 2022, DO HYEONG KWON, the defendant, orchestrated schemes to defraud purchasers of cryptocurrencies created and issued by a company that he co-founded called Tenaform.”

联邦检察官的一份替代起诉书称，“至少在 2018 年左右，一直到 2022 年左右，被告 DO HYEONG KWON 精心策划了计划，欺骗购买由他与他合作的公司创建和发行的加密货币的购买者。 - 成立名为 Tenaform。”

Authorities discovered that Kwon’s financial ecosystem was built on the manipulation and deception of investors, business partners, and regulators about Terraform Labs’ state and operations. While other parties saw a thriving enterprise replete with investment opportunities, Kwon knew all along that the Terraform products fell short of his advertised expectations.

当局发现，Kwon 的金融生态系统是建立在对投资者、业务合作伙伴和监管机构有关 Terraform Labs 状态和运营的操纵和欺骗之上的。当其他人看到一个蓬勃发展的企业充满投资机会时，Kwon 一直知道 Terraform 产品没有达到他宣传的期望。

The lawsuit highlighted five major misrepresentations the crypto mogul made to facilitate his fraudulent scheme and lure in investors. The case against Kwon is now under Judge John P. Cronan of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York and the defendant will face the judge on Jan 8 for an initial conference.

该诉讼强调了这位加密货币大亨为促进其欺诈计划和吸引投资者而做出的五项重大失实陈述。针对 Kwon 的案件目前由美国纽约南区地方法院法官 John P. Cronan 审理，被告将于 1 月 8 日与法官举行初步会议。
