币界网报道:

美国证券交易委员会(SEC)已对Drive Planning,LLC和Russell Burkhalter提起诉讼,指控他们经营房地产庞氏骗局,资金被挪用到Coinbase,并用于购买游艇和私人飞机。

据称,Drive Planning向投资者出售未注册的证券,承诺他们可以在短短三个月内获得10%的回报。这些回报本应通过向房地产开发商提供过桥贷款或与他们建立合资企业来产生。

奇怪的是,该计划的网站不仅承诺了难以置信的财务回报;它实际上承诺“引导你走向关系富裕、身体健康和经济自由。”

投资者总共向该计划投资了3.72亿美元,目前欠投资者2.87亿美元。

然而,不幸的是,对他们来说,Drive Planning并没有办法真正实现这些回报,而是据称使用从新投资者那里筹集的资金来支付这些回报,这通常会鼓励现有投资者“展期”他们的资金,而不是撤资。

美国证券交易委员会声称有必要提出这一投诉,因为Burkhalter此前“在2024年6月10日承诺停止接受对REAL的新投资,并停止向投资者支付佣金或所谓的回报,但他在6月21日向Drive Planning销售代理支付了销售佣金。”

此外,Burkhalter正在经历离婚,“最近达成了离婚协议,根据该协议,他可以将用投资者资金购买的财产转让给配偶。”

Stillwater,这艘游艇据称是用投资者资金购买的。

该计划的创始人Burkhalter据称从Drive Planning的金库中花费了大量资金,包括:

    5.1万美元用于房车相关费用4.2万美元用于前妻的律师3.1万美元用于一艘游艇31.9万美元用于“服装、珠宝和美容护理”,包括在Diamonds Direct和Louis Vuitton花费460万美元用于私人飞机和豪华汽车服务18.3万美元用于酒店和度假村74.9万美元的汽车费用190万美元被转移到Coinbase(120万美元被转回该公司)200万美元用于卡波圣卢卡斯的一套豪华公寓110万美元给“私人飞机公司NetJets”

美国证券交易委员会指控欺诈行为违反了《证券法》和《交易法》,并正在寻求对Burkhalter的董事和高级职员禁令、没收非法所得资金,以及在进行会计时冻结其他资金的命令。

How Many Tokens Away Is Yang Zhilin from the 'Moon Chasing the Light'?

The article explores the intense competition between two leading Chinese AI companies, DeepSeek and Kimi (Moon Dark Side), and the mounting pressure on Yang Zhilin, the founder of Kimi. While DeepSeek re-emerged after 15 months of silence with its powerful V4 model—boasting 1.6 trillion parameters and low-cost, long-context capabilities—Kimi has been focusing on long-context processing and multi-agent systems with its K2.6 model. Yang faces a threefold challenge: technological rivalry, commercialization pressure, and investor expectations. Despite Kimi’s high valuation (reaching $18 billion), its revenue heavily relies on a single product with low paid conversion rates, while DeepSeek’s strategic silence and open-source influence have strengthened its market position and valuation prospects, now targeting over $20 billion. Both companies reflect broader trends in China’s AI ecosystem: Kimi aims for global influence through open-source contributions and agent-based advancements, while DeepSeek prioritizes foundational innovation and hardware independence, notably shifting to Huawei’s chips. Their competition is seen as vital for China’s AI progress, with the gap between top Chinese and U.S. models narrowing to just 2.7% on the Elo rating scale. Ultimately, the article argues that this rivalry, though anxiety-inducing for leaders like Zhilin, is essential for driving innovation and solidifying China’s role in the global AI landscape.
