CFTC對EmpiresX創始人處以1.3億美元罰款，因其涉及加密詐騙案
美國一間聯邦法院對巴西的EmpiresX創始人處以超過1.3億美元的罰款，因其運營了一個欺詐性的加密貨幣投資平台，誤導了投資者。商品期貨交易委員會（CFTC）宣布了這一消息。
在佛羅里達州南區的美國地區法院，法官Cecilia Altonaga於2月4日對EmpiresX的創始人Emerson Pires和Flavio Goncalves，以及其合夥人Joshua Nicholas，施加了永久禁令、財務罰款及其他法律行動。
詐騙的投資回報承諾
根據法庭文件，Empires Consulting運營了一個名為EmpiresX的欺詐性投資計劃，虛假承諾為投資者提供高額回報。Pires和Goncalves被控通過虛假的加密廣告從受害者那裡獲取至少4000萬美元的資金。
然而，這些創始人並未按照承諾投資這些資金，而是將其用於購買比特幣、以太坊及USDT，同時限制提款並顯示虛假的非存在性投資利潤。
EmpiresX的創始人還將這些資金用於個人開支，包括奢侈品購買和旅行。不過，調查人員從他們那裡追回了約2280萬美元的數字貨幣。
CFTC獲得重罰與永久交易禁令
法庭裁定EmpiresX的高管犯有多項違法行為，包括欺詐性虛假陳述和欺騙、未向CFTC註冊、挪用資金及違反交易和規範。雖然Nicholas於2022年9月8日被捕並對共謀證券詐騙認罪，但這對創始二人據報在得知CFTC指控後逃往巴西。
2022年7月，美國司法部已向EmpiresX創始人發出轉為逃犯身份的通知。然而，巴西法律禁止引渡其國民，使得他們被捕並引渡回美國的可能性不大。
創始人們被共同罰款3210萬美元作為退還金和9650萬美元作為民事罰款。Nicholas則因相同罪行分別被罰289,000美元和867,000美元。
除了超過1.3億美元的財務罰款外，CFTC還獲得了一項法院命令，禁止被告在美國金融市場進行交易。
CFTC代理主席Caroline Pham於2月5日宣布，該機構將在特朗普政府期間逐步停止以執法為主的監管做法。不過，執法主任Brian Young透露，接下來的專案小組重組將有助於“維護公眾對我們市場誠信的信心”。
這宗案件不僅反映出加密貨幣市場的監管挑戰，也提醒投資者在追求高回報時需保持警惕。隨著加密市場的日益成熟，監管機構的行動將成為保護投資者利益的重要一環。此事件也突顯了詐騙行為的普遍性，讓我們思考如何更有效地識別和防範這類風險。
