韩国科技公司Wacon的首席执行官Byun Young-oh因涉嫌与MainEthernet有关的庞氏骗局而被捕。Young oh被控诈骗约500多名投资者3.66亿美元。杨和两名同伙目前正在等待这些指控的审判。

Wacon首席执行官Byun Young-oh因加密货币欺诈指控被捕,该案件在韩国媒体上得到了广泛报道。8月16日,首尔中央地方法院对Wacon的首席执行官兼副董事长Yoem发出逮捕令后,他被捕了。

根据8月12日媒体的报道,韦康被规定通过其MainEthernet协助了这一骗局。据报道,该公司特别针对60岁以上的老年人,他们对加密货币及其相关风险知之甚少。

Wacon首席执行官面临加密货币欺诈指控。

Wacon是一家拥有12000多名会员的公司,涉嫌通过其全国分支机构实施数字庞氏骗局,推广未注册的虚拟货币质押产品。该公司解释说,投资者委托硬币的利润将来自赌场和人工智能的使用。

这家公司通过承诺高投资回报来吸引投资者。投资者获得的利率在45%至50%之间。与典型的金字塔骗局一样,该公司还推广了一种推荐收入多级营销策略,以鼓励投资者吸引更多人。

然而,自2023年6月以来,该公司未能支付承诺的利率,也未能归还本金投资,投资者因此遭受了约5000亿韩元(3.66亿美元)的损失。2023年11月,Wacon关闭了首尔江南区的MainEthernet办公室后,情况进一步恶化。

因此,政府介入并逮捕了该公司的首席执行官,以此作为防止被告篡改证据的解决方案。警方还表示,他们将继续调查,以确定与该公司有关的潜在嫌疑人和其他未报告的欺诈案件。

Byun Young oh否认参与加密货币欺诈

Young oh否认了对他的指控,因为韩国警方仍在继续调查此案并确定更多嫌疑人。Young oh在2023年11月的一份声明中否认参与任何庞氏骗局,他说“多层次营销”的术语和结构是他不熟悉的概念。

韩国反制委员会的一名官员在一份声明中表示:

“韦康从一开始就以欺诈、共享角色和在多级指挥系统中划分介绍费为目的。”

尽管Young oh否认参与欺诈,但反措施委员会的一名官员表示,韦康首席执行官及其同事应该被判入狱,因为该业务是一个有组织的庞氏骗局。

韩国科技公司Wacon的首席执行官Byun Young-oh因涉嫌通过大规模的以太坊骗局策划欺诈而被捕。据称,Young oh参与了贯穿其公司的庞氏骗局,导致500多名投资者损失了约3.66亿美元。杨与另外两名同伙一起被捕,目前正在等待首尔中央区检察官办公室第五刑事庭的审判。

The Full Story of How Crypto Unicorn Blockstream Is Mired in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details serious allegations of fraud against Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. In June 2024, investigative account NatInfoSec published a report accusing Blockstream's mining note (BMN) program of potentially operating a multi-billion dollar scheme with Ponzi-like characteristics. The core allegations focus on Blockstream Mining Notes (BMNs), which offer investors fixed annual yields up to approximately 20% from Bitcoin mining. NatInfoSec's investigation raises several key issues: 1. **Suspicious Hashrate & Payout Capacity**: The analysis suggests Blockstream would need 20-45 EH/s of mining power to cover its BMN obligations, but its public dashboard shows only around 15 EH/s. Furthermore, no verifiable public evidence (e.g., grid connection records, import data) was found to support the massive mining operation required. 2. **Questionable Payout Source**: The BMN contract allows Blockstream to use Bitcoin from *any source* (Substitute Performance BTC) to fulfill investor payouts, raising concerns that payouts may not come from actual mining revenue. 3. **High-Risk, Fixed Returns**: Offering ~20% fixed yields in the volatile, cyclical Bitcoin mining industry is viewed as highly unusual and requires clear explanation. 4. **Undisclosed Criminal Record of Key Figure**: Christopher William Cook, a key figure in Blockstream's mining operations and CEO of spin-off Exacore, was found to have a federal felony conviction for mail fraud in 2008, a fact not disclosed in BMN offering documents. His background was also allegedly embellished. 5. **Potential Contagion to BSTR SPAC**: Questions were raised about whether these liabilities and Cook's record should have been disclosed in the SEC filings for Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a separate Adam Back-associated firm planning a SPAC merger. The crypto community is divided. BitMEX Research validated Cook's criminal record and expressed concern over the high yields but found other evidence lacking or misleading, noting the legal separation between BMN, Blockstream, and BSTR. Blockstream defenders, like Samson Mow, argue the mining is real. Critics, however, emphasize the lack of independent, verifiable proof of the mining operation's scale and the true source of investor payouts. The article concludes that BMN remains shrouded in key unanswered questions regarding its actual size, the verifiability of its underlying mining assets and payouts, the source of its high yields, and the full role and disclosure concerning Chris Cook. Blockstream had not issued a comprehensive response at the time of writing.
