花20萬美金!Citibank被控忽視加密詐騙警告




花旗銀行被控忽視2000萬美元加密貨幣戀愛詐騙的跡象

一名自稱是加密貨幣戀愛詐騙受害者的人對花旗銀行提起訴訟,指控該行忽視了“紅旗”,讓詐騙者成功竊取2000萬美元。

這位原告邁克爾·齊德爾(Michael Zidell)在週二於曼哈頓聯邦法院提交的訴訟中表示,花旗銀行在他向詐騙者存入數百萬美元時,對其法定義務和責任“視而不見”。

齊德爾表示,他透過多家銀行進行了數十筆交易,向詐騙者轉移了2000萬美元,其中近400萬美元是存入花旗銀行的帳戶。

訴訟中指出,這些交易是一起精心策劃的戀愛詐騙的一部分,通常被稱為“豬肉屠宰”(pig butchering),詐騙者利用虛假的身份與受害者建立浪漫的網上關係,進而誘使他們參與欺詐性的投資計劃。

Facebook戀情導致詐騙NFT投資

齊德爾表示,該詐騙始於2023年初,當時他在Facebook上被一名名為“卡羅琳·帕克”(Carolyn Parker)的自稱商業擁有者聯繫,兩人建立了“友好、社交的關係,後來他感覺發展出浪漫情感”。

在關係的一個月後,帕克告訴齊德爾,他應該投資於非同質化代幣(NFT),因為她聲稱自己已經賺了數百萬,並引導他到一個交易平台。

齊德爾決定投資NFT,並向該交易平台提供的多個銀行帳戶進行轉賬。他被告知,由於客戶存款量大,需要多家銀行進行交易。

他表示,在接下來的幾個月中,他向各個銀行帳戶發送了43筆轉賬,總額超過2000萬美元,但到4月底時,該平台的網站突然消失,隨之而去的還有他的數百萬資金。

花旗銀行忽視詐騙警告標誌,訴訟指控

訴訟指控花旗銀行處理了12筆轉賬,總額約400萬美元,這些資金流入一家名為Guju Inc.的公司。訴訟還指控該行忽視了Guju帳戶中的“紅旗”,並聲稱“資金的大額、整數金額等應該觸發銀行對可疑活動的調查”。

訴訟中寫道:“花旗銀行未能實施足夠的安全措施,未能檢測出明顯可疑的交易,並未能監控帳戶,儘管有大量整數金額以可疑的方式在信託和其他個人之間轉入轉出。”

齊德爾表示,花旗銀行助長了該詐騙,並指控該行疏忽,聲稱其“有責任謹慎監控可疑交易”。

Cointelegraph已聯繫花旗銀行以尋求評論。

戀愛詐騙是一個數十億美元的騙局

根據安全公司Cyvers的報告,去年,戀愛詐騙者在200,000起已識別的案件中竊取了超過55億美元。

Chainalysis在二月份估計,所有類型的加密詐騙在2024年竊取了約99億美元,但隨著分析公司識別到更多與詐騙者相關的加密錢包,這一數字可能上升至124億美元。

本月早些時候,美國當局表示,他們已經在一項由特勤局主導的行動中,查獲了與豬肉屠宰詐騙相關的2.25億美元,這是該機構有史以來最大的一次加密貨幣查獲。

這起事件不僅反映了加密貨幣詐騙的嚴重性,也揭示了金融機構在監控可疑活動方面的責任與挑戰。花旗銀行是否會在這次訴訟中承擔責任,將成為未來金融機構如何改進其監控系統的重要指標。隨著詐騙手法的日益複雜,銀行和金融機構必須加強對可疑交易的識別與監控,以保護客戶的資金安全。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, high-resolution portrait of a young woman with long, flowing wavy brunette hair, seated gracefully on a simple black wooden chair in a dimly lit studio. She wears an oversized, off-white knitted sweater that drapes loosely over her frame, slipping off one shoulder to reveal smooth skin and add a subtle touch of sensuality. Her pose is elegant and contemplative: one arm rests gently on the chair’s backrest while her hand delicately supports her chin, and her gaze is directed thoughtfully toward the side, creating an intimate and introspective mood. The lighting is expertly crafted with a single soft, directional light source positioned to the side, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her form and highlight the texture of the knitwear and the natural contours of her legs and arms. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the depth and dimensionality of the image, emphasizing the softness of her skin and the intricate weave of the sweater. The background is a smooth, muted dark gray, providing a minimalist and distraction-free backdrop that contrasts beautifully with her light-colored apparel and warm skin tones. *** The composition is a full-body vertical frame that captures the model’s seated posture with perfect balance, positioning her slightly off-center to create visual interest and harmony. The overall color palette is subdued and warm, featuring neutral tones that evoke a sense of calm and understated elegance. The image is impeccably sharp, showcasing fine details such as the delicate waves of her hair, the subtle folds in the fabric, and the natural texture of her skin. The style is classic and timeless, blending modern minimalism with emotive portraiture to convey quiet strength, beauty, and introspection.

A striking black-and-white cinematic photograph of a mysterious woman standing calm and composed in the center of a dense crowd of paparazzi, dozens of photographers surrounding her, all aiming vintage cameras with flashes raised. The woman wears dark sunglasses, minimal makeup, and an elegant dark outfit, her expression emotionless and powerful, symbolizing isolation amid fame.
