Brooklyn Man Sentenced to 12 Years for $16M Coinbase Phishing Scam
布鲁克林男子因1600万美元Coinbase网络钓鱼诈骗被判刑12年
A scammer who went by the online name “lolimfeelingevil” will face 12 years in prison after pleading guilty for playing his part in stealing $16 million in crypto from Coinbase users.
一名网名“lolimfeelingevil”的骗子在认罪后，将因参与从Coinbase用户处窃取1600万美元加密货币而面临12年监禁。
Ronald Spektor, 23, from Brooklyn, New York, posed as a representative from America’s biggest crypto exchange and told victims their accounts were under threat from hackers, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.
据布鲁克林地区检察官办公室称，来自纽约布鲁克林、23岁的Ronald Spektor冒充美国最大加密货币交易所的代表，并告知受害者他们的账户正受到黑客威胁。
He then socially engineered them to move their cryptocurrency into what they believed was a secure new wallet. Social engineering is when scammers manipulate victims into sending funds or handing over valuable information.
随后，他通过社会工程学手段操纵受害者，让他们将加密货币转移到他们认为是安全的新钱包中。社会工程学是指骗子操纵受害者发送资金或交出宝贵信息的行为。
Spektor controlled that wallet, emptied it, and laundered the funds through swapping and mixing services and crypto gambling sites — with some victims losing $1 million or more.
Spektor控制了该钱包，将其清空，并通过兑换和混币服务以及加密货币赌博网站洗钱——部分受害者损失了100万美元或更多。
“Our Virtual Currency Unit painstakingly pieced together the digital proof that identified the defendant behind this sophisticated scheme, followed the money that he stole and compiled iron-clad evidence against him,” District Attorney Gonzalez said in a Wednesday statement.
地区检察官Gonzalez在周三的一份声明中表示：“我们的虚拟货币部门 painstakingly（精心）拼凑出确凿的数字证据，锁定了这起复杂骗局背后的被告，追踪了他窃取的资金，并汇编了针对他的铁证。”
“This case should put crypto scammers on notice: we will follow the digital trail wherever it leads and aggressively pursue those responsible.”
“此案应向加密货币骗子发出警告：我们将沿着数字足迹追查到底，并严厉打击责任人。”
Investigators with the DA’s Virtual Currency Unit linked Spektor’s home IP address to several of the victims’ wallets. They also found that he recruited accomplices on online forums and bragged about his thefts on a Telegram channel under the handle “@lolimfeelingevil.”
地区检察官办公室虚拟货币部门的调查人员将Spektor的家庭IP地址与多名受害者的钱包关联起来。他们还发现，他在在线论坛上招募同伙，并在Telegram频道以“@lolimfeelingevil”为昵称吹嘘自己的盗窃行为。
In recovered messages he claimed to have gambled away $6 million in crypto. After fraud allegations surfaced online, he got rid of a hardware wallet and bought a new one.
在恢复的消息中，他声称自己赌掉了600万美元的加密货币。在网络上的欺诈指控出现后，他丢弃了一个硬件钱包并购买了一个新的。
Spektor pleaded guilty on September 2 to all 31 counts, including first-degree money laundering and grand larceny.
Spektor于9月2日对所有31项罪名认罪，包括一级洗钱罪和重大盗窃罪。
Justice Danny Chun imposed the promised sentence over prosecutors’ objections, since they had sought seven to 21 years. Spektor must also forfeit more than $500,000 in assets and pay nearly $16 million in restitution.
尽管检方曾寻求判处七年至21年的刑期，但法官Danny Chun仍无视检方的反对意见，宣判了承诺的刑罚。Spektor还必须没收超过50万美元的资产，并支付近1600万美元的赔偿金。
Officials reminded the public that Coinbase will never call customers or ask them to move funds to a “safe wallet.”
官员提醒公众，Coinbase绝不会致电客户或要求他们将资金转移到所谓的“安全钱包”。
