据报道，基于电报的加密货币项目Blum的联合创始人Vladimir Smerkis已在莫斯科被捕

Vladimir Smerkis, a co-founder of the Telegram-based crypto project Blum, has been arrested in Moscow, Russia, on fraud allegations, according to reports by Russian state-owned news outlet TASS on Thursday, May 18.

根据俄罗斯国有新闻媒体TASS的报道，总部位于电报的加密货币项目Blum的联合创始人弗拉基米尔·斯梅尔基斯（Vladimir Smerkis）因欺诈指控而被捕。

The report says that the Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow granted a request from investigators to keep Smerkis in custody while he is being investigated.

该报告说，莫斯科的Zamoskvoretsky地方法院批准了调查人员在接受调查时将Smerkis拘留的请求。

Smerkis, the former Binance Russia manager, is suspected of committing fraud on a “large scale,” which is an offense defined by Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Violations of this article can lead to imprisonment terms ranging from two to 12 years.

俄罗斯前驻俄罗斯经理Smerkis涉嫌欺诈“大规模”，这是俄罗斯联邦《刑法》第159条所定义的罪行。违反本文可能会导致两到12年的监禁条款。

It's important to note that the nature of the fraud allegations and whether any charges have been filed against Smerkis remain unclear at this time.

重要的是要注意，欺诈指控的性质以及目前尚不清楚对Smerkis提起的任何指控。

According to a report by Russian news outlet Mash, the fraud allegations might be linked to Smerkis's involvement in two other crypto ventures, The Token Fund and Tokenbox, which he co-founded in 2017.

根据俄罗斯新闻媒体Mash的一份报告，欺诈指控可能与Smerkis参与了其他两个加密货币公司Token Fund和Tokenbox的参与，这是他在2017年共同创建的。

According to Mash, investors in these ventures reportedly suffered combined losses of about $15 million. However, Blum is not involved in either The Token Fund or Tokenbox.

据MASH称，据报道，这些企业的投资者遭受了约1500万美元的总损失。但是，Blum不参与令牌基金或令牌框。

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Blum confirmed that Smerkis has resigned from his role as the firm's chief marketing officer and will no longer be part of the project in any capacity.

Blum在以前是Twitter的X上的帖子中确认，Smerkis已辞去了该公司首席营销官的职务，并且将不再以任何身份成为该项目的一部分。

Despite this development, Blum stated that its team remains fully committed and focused on its goals, and the day-to-day operations will continue as usual.

尽管有这一发展，但布鲁姆表示，其团队仍然完全致力于其目标，并且日常运营将像往常一样继续。

Blum is a crypto project that integrates a decentralized exchange into Telegram Mini Apps, allowing users to engage in crypto trading, earn rewards, and participate in token airdrops. The project recently launched its Drop Game, a unique initiative designed to distribute its native BLUM tokens to users.

Blum是一个加密项目，将分散的交易所集成到Telegram Mini应用程序中，允许用户从事加密货币交易，赚取奖励并参与代币Airdrops。该项目最近推出了Drop Game，这是一项独特的计划，旨在将其本机Blum令牌分发给用户。

In the Drop Game, users collect Blum points by tapping on snowflakes that fall from their mobile phone screen. These points can later be converted into BLUM tokens during a planned token generation event.

在Drop Game中，用户通过敲击从手机屏幕上掉落的雪花来收集Blum点。这些点以后可以在计划的代币生成活动中转换为Blum令牌。

Earlier this year, Blum teased the possibility of listing its token in the third quarter of 2023. However, the news of Smerkis's arrest and the subsequent developments have sparked concerns among community members.

今年早些时候，布鲁姆（Blum）取笑了在2023年第三季度列出其令牌的可能性。但是，Smerkis被捕的消息和随后的发展引发了社区成员的关注。

"Blum owes its users a clarification on the planned airdrop," wrote one X user and Blum community member in response to a post by crypto influencer RK Gupta.

一位X用户和Blum社区成员写道：“ Blum欠其用户对计划中的Airdrop进行澄清。”
