币界网报道:

美国证券交易委员会对NovaTech背后的策划者Cynthia和Eddy Petiton提出了大规模加密货币欺诈的指控。

据称,他们的计划从全球20多万投资者那里吸收了超过6.5亿美元。许多上当受骗的人都是海地裔美国人社区的一员。

然而,美国证券交易委员会并没有仅仅止步于请愿书。他们还严厉打击了另外六个人——马丁·齐齐、达皮利努·邓巴、詹姆斯·科贝特、科里·桑普森、约翰·加洛法诺和玛莎·哈德利,他们在推广诺瓦科技方面发挥了作用。

从2019年到2023年,NovaTech作为MLM(多层次营销)和加密投资计划运营。但根据美国证券交易委员会的说法,这一切都是空谈。

请愿书通过承诺高额回报来吸引人们,声称他们将投资加密货币和外汇市场。辛西娅·佩蒂翁(Cynthia Petiton)对投资者甜言蜜语,告诉他们他们“从第一天起就会获利”

但在幕后,现实却大不相同。大部分资金根本没有被投资,而是被用来偿还早期投资者的债务,并充实发起人的口袋。

据称,请愿人自己也抽走了一大笔现金。当整个运营最终崩溃时,大多数投资者都束手无策,无法收回资金。

美国证券交易委员会沃思堡地区办事处主任Eric Werner指出,请愿书及其欺诈设置给“全球数万名受害者造成了难以估量的损失”

他还强调,美国证券交易委员会不仅仅是在追查行动背后的智囊团。NovaTech的顶级发起人招募了广泛的投资者网络,对于他们带来的每一个新的吸盘,NovaTech都会奖励他们佣金。

即使他们中的一些人,如Zizi、Dunbar、Corbett和Sampson,看到了危险信号——比如美国和加拿大监管机构开始四处嗅探时——他们也没有踩刹车。

相反,美国证券交易委员会告诉我们,他们一直在推动骗局,淡化风险,并说服更多人放弃他们的钱。

美国证券交易委员会的投诉现在由美国佛罗里达州南区地方法院处理。所有被告都面临着注册违规的指控。

美国证券交易委员会正在对他们进行一系列处罚,包括永久禁令、没收他们的非法所得和民事处罚。

Not Speculation but a Necessity: The 4 Unique Values of Prediction Markets

Polymarket's recent $4 billion funding round and soaring valuation of $15 billion highlight the explosive growth of prediction markets, with trading volume reaching $25.7 billion in March 2026—a 10.6% monthly increase. This analysis argues that prediction markets serve critical non-speculative functions, positioning them as essential tools rather than mere gambling platforms. Prediction markets offer four unique values: entertainment consumption, insurance-like protection, risk hedging, and truth discovery. Firstly, they stimulate economic activity by engaging users in event-based betting, similar to the broader sports industry. Secondly, they act as a form of decentralized insurance, allowing users to hedge against specific, well-defined risks (e.g., weather events) transparently and without traditional overhead costs. Thirdly, institutions and individuals use these markets to hedge against geopolitical and commodity price risks, as demonstrated during the U.S.-Iran conflict and the launch of 24/7 commodity markets on platforms like Kalshi. Finally, prediction markets counter media bias by aggregating crowd-sourced information, often achieving 30% higher accuracy than surveys due to users' vested interests. Experts like Bitwise’s Jeff Park and SIG’s Jeff Yass emphasize the markets' role in risk transfer and financial innovation. As these platforms evolve, they are poised to become trillion-dollar markets, offering more reliable, decentralized mechanisms for information pricing and risk management.
