一名男子因為為AI創業公司籌集6000萬美元而被捕,卻將資金用於奢華生活
「讓我們震驚和恐懼的是,我們發現該銀行的實際賬戶餘額僅有37美分。」

位於舊金山的AI創業公司On Platform的創始人上週被捕,檢方指控他和他的妻子將數百萬美元的投資者資金用於購買房地產、珠寶、一輛特斯拉,甚至還包括舉辦他們婚禮的社交俱樂部。

檢方指控這對夫婦詐騙投資者超過6000萬美元,根據SFGate的報導。

創始人亞歷克斯·貝克曼(Alex Beckman)和他的妻子、律師勞莉·劉(Valerie Lau)上週在舊金山法庭出庭,面臨「共謀進行電信、銀行和證券詐騙,以及加重身份盜竊和妨礙司法」的指控,SFGate報導指出。

這是一宗特別離譜的科技詐騙指控,突顯了圍繞AI的虛假熱潮,以及貪婪的投資者因此可能受到的欺詐。

據稱,貝克曼向投資者謊稱他在銀行有1300萬美元,即使實際賬戶餘額僅為25.93美元。銀行對賬單還顯示,貝克曼向一名家庭成員匯款32萬美元。

在其網站上,ON Platform自稱為「行業領先的企業級對話AI平台,受到全球零售、體育和媒體娛樂領先品牌的信任」。

但根據這些指控,投資者不太可能再看到他們的資金。

早在七月,GamesBeat就已經報導,ON(前身為GameOn Technology)在發現1100萬美元的現金失踪後,已經裁減了所有50名員工。

當時,貝克曼辭職,剩下的公司高層在給股東的信中解釋了發生的事情。

「讓我們震驚和恐懼的是,我們發現該銀行的實際賬戶餘額僅有37美分。」信中寫道。「這一發現使公司陷入流動性危機,董事會和管理層不得不迅速行動,希望能避免破產。」

儘管貝克曼當時否認指控,但聯邦調查人員表示,他和劉已經花費420萬美元在舊金山的兩處房產上,還包括他們子女的私立學校教育費用。

貝克曼和他的妻子編織的騙局,讓人感到匪夷所思。

上週,美國證券交易委員會(SEC)指控貝克曼「向投資者提供虛構的客戶收入報告,顯示來自數十家知名客戶(包括NBA、NHL和可口可樂)的數百萬美元的經常性收入」。

「實際上,GameOn從這些所謂的頂尖客戶那裡幾乎沒有(如果有的話)產生任何收入,而是向這些機構支付了可觀的費用,以使用他們的品牌內容。」SEC的文件中寫道。

「但實際上,GameOn的年收入從未超過50萬美元,公司從未盈利,並且每年虧損數百萬美元。」該機構寫道。「此外,貝克曼不斷向投資者提供虛構的公司資產負債表,顯示數百萬美元現金,而實際的現金狀況僅為其所表示的微不足道的一部分——有時接近於零。」

這對夫婦面臨嚴重指控,可能很快就會被迫放棄他們在舊金山的房產,以及一輛特斯拉Model X。

在AI詐騙的更多案例中:一名男子因創建虛假樂隊並通過用機器人收聽他們的歌曲賺取1000萬美元而被捕。

這宗案件揭示了科技創業界的道德危機,特別是在AI領域的熱潮之下,許多投資者對於潛在的高回報抱有過高的期望,卻忽略了風險。這不僅是對個別投資者的警示,也是對整個行業的反思。在追求創新和快速回報的過程中,我們是否已經失去了對誠信和透明度的重視?這樣的事件不僅損害了那些投資者的利益,也可能對整個科技行業的信譽造成長期損害。

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, ultra-sharp black and white studio portrait of a young woman with a powerful, direct gaze. She is seated gracefully on a seamless bright white floor, her legs crossed in a stylized, almost sculptural pose, with one knee raised and her hands clasped firmly over it. Her posture exudes a blend of strength and quiet contemplation. Her long, sleek, dark brown hair is meticulously parted down the middle, falling evenly over her shoulders, framing her face with elegant precision. Her makeup is refined and impactful, featuring intensely defined eyes with dark eyeliner, subtle shading, and prominent, well-groomed eyebrows. Her lips are natural, complementing her smooth, matte complexion. She is dressed in a simple, form-fitting black long-sleeved bodysuit, which accentuates the natural contours of her body without distraction. There are no accessories, maintaining a pure and minimalist aesthetic. *** The lighting is soft, even, and highly diffused, creating subtle, sculptural shadows that define her form and facial features without any harshness. The seamless pure white background provides an expansive, ethereal setting, isolating the subject and enhancing the monochromatic palette. The composition is a perfectly balanced medium full shot, centering the model and emphasizing the strong, symmetrical lines of her pose. The image is rendered with exquisite detail and clarity, from the individual strands of her hair to the subtle textures of her skin. The overall style is minimalist fine art portraiture, blending classic elegance with a contemporary edge, focusing on form, emotional depth, and timeless beauty. Base Setup
keep 100 percent facial information adherence of the attached image and turn her into a lone night hiker standing in the shallow river at the mouth of the canyon, captured as a live action photograph or movie still, not an illustration or CGI render, with an alluring, confident, quietly sexy mood.

Shot and Camera
Three quarter body shot from slightly low height on the riverbank, placing her on the left third while the water leads into the dark canyon and the star filled sky dominates the top of the frame, preserving the original wide vertical composition.

Identity and Pose
She has a slim athletic build, natural proportions, medium length loose hair, and lightly tanned skin, 8k Photorealistic and hyper realistic. She stands barefoot in the water with one leg forward, hips relaxed, wearing a fitted cropped technical top and separate high waisted trail shorts with an open lightweight jacket slipping off one shoulder, one hand loosely holding a headlamp at her side and the other brushing hair from her face as she looks up at the stars.

Lighting and Environment
Keep the soft starlight and faint glow from the distant horizon, giving a gentle rim on her shoulders and hair while a subtle fill from the reflected sky reveals her features. The canyon walls, river reflections, pebbled shore, and dense star field stay exactly like the reference, with small ripples around her feet grounding her in the water.

Masking and Constraints
Change only by adding the subject and her outfit, keep lighting, perspective, white balance, canyon geometry, and river reflections the same, with realistic scale, body proportions, and clear contact between feet and water surface. Change only the requested element and keep lighting, perspective, white balance, pose, face geometry, body proportions, and silhouette the same, and absolutely avoid added text, painterly or toon styling, CGI look, blown highlights, banding, plastic skin, overly tidy backgrounds, or floating feet while requiring consistent perspective, consistent white balance, subtle film like grain, and physically correct contact shadows and reflections. Use the original face exactly as it is, without changing a details. A stunning, highly detailed portrait of a beautiful young woman styled in a classic 1940s/1950s pin-up/rockabilly aesthetic.
