HashFlare創辦人求減刑,面對十年監禁風險




HashFlare創辦人希望減免監禁時間,美國檢方要求十年刑期

HashFlare的共同創辦人Sergei Potapenko和Ivan Turõgin在承認電匯詐騙後,向美國法官請求減免額外的監禁時間,但檢方表示他們應該因為策劃了一個5.77億美元的龐氏騙局而被判入獄十年。

在周三提交給西雅圖聯邦法院法官Robert Lasnik的量刑備忘錄中,檢方主張Potapenko和Turõgin各自應該被判十年監禁,因為他們的「可怕罪行」導致約3億美元的受害者損失。

檢方認為,十年的刑期是公正的,因為HashFlare是該法院曾經審理過的最大詐騙案。Potapenko和Turõgin在同一天提交的量刑備忘錄中表示,這樣的刑期過於嚴厲,並引用他們的合作和在愛沙尼亞拘留期間已經服刑的時間。

這對夫婦在2022年11月在愛沙尼亞被捕,在被引渡到美國之前,已經在監獄中度過了16個月,並於2024年5月在美國承認了共謀電匯詐騙的罪名。他們目前在美國保釋中,量刑聽證會定於8月14日舉行。

HashFlare並未造成損失,創辦人辯稱

Potapenko和Turõgin的律師在他們的聯合量刑備忘錄中辯稱,儘管誇大了HashFlare的挖礦能力,但公司的客戶最終從中獲得的加密貨幣價值遠超過他們的初始投資,主要是因為自該計劃結束以來,加密貨幣市場價格的上漲。

他們指出,39萬名客戶在HashFlare上花費了4.87億美元的挖礦合約,並聲稱這些客戶已經提取了23億美元,並表示客戶並未如檢方所述遭受如此大的財務困難。

這對夫婦表示,每位潛在的受害者都將獲得全額賠償,這可能來自他們在2月份的認罪協議中沒收的超過4億美元的資產。

檢方稱這對夫婦犯下「可怕的罪行」

檢方在量刑提交中強調了HashFlare詐騙的龐大規模,稱其為「可怕的罪行」,導致約3億美元的受害者損失,其中大部分收益用於資助Potapenko和Turõgin的「奢華生活」。

他們表示,這對夫婦在2015年至2019年間向約44萬名客戶出售了價值5.77億美元的挖礦合約,並虛假發布投資回報,利用新客戶的資金來支付舊客戶。

檢方指出,「HashFlare證明是一個典型的龐氏騙局」。他們補充說,量刑必須「反映罪行的嚴重性」,並作為「足夠的威懾」來保護公眾免受未來類似犯罪的侵害。

HashFlare創辦人希望回國

Potapenko和Turõgin仍在尋求被驅逐回他們的祖國愛沙尼亞,這可能對美國法院如何處理跨境加密犯罪案件中的外國國籍人士產生影響。

儘管法院命令他們留在美國,但這對夫婦在四月表示,他們收到了來自國土安全部的信件,指示他們「立即驅逐」,這引起了對他們未來的重大困惑。

這一案件不僅反映了加密貨幣行業的風險和詐騙行為的普遍性,也突顯了法律系統在面對新興技術和國際犯罪時的挑戰。隨著加密貨幣的普及,如何有效監管和打擊這類犯罪將成為未來的關鍵議題。對於投資者來說,這一事件也提醒了他們在進行投資時需謹慎,特別是在面對看似過於美好的承諾時,應保持警惕。
