BitClout创始人Nader Al-Naji从财政部向妻子捐赠了100万美元:美国证券交易委员会

币界网报道:

BitClout和Basis的创始人Nader Al-Naji现在是美国证券交易委员会(SEC)民事诉讼的对象,指控他在未注册的证券发行中筹集了超过2.57亿美元。

他还被指控在纽约南区犯有电汇欺诈罪。

美国证券交易委员会的投诉集中在BTCLT的发行上,BTCLT是BitClout的代币,美国证券交易委员声称这是一种未注册的证券。

美国证券交易委员会强调,纳吉将BTCLT作为一种投资进行营销,甚至将其比作“允许你拥有平台一部分的股票”。此外,他与投资者沟通的方式表明,投资会增加价值,并向一位投资者指出,“我们最有价值的合作伙伴应该在底层”,因为如果它筹集到预期的资金,那么“协议价格将很容易达到现在的4-8倍。”

Al Naji显然认为,权力下放的出现对于避免监管机构的注意很重要,他在一份沟通中指出,他的“印象是,即使是‘虚假’的权力下放也会让监管机构感到困惑,并阻止他们追捕你。”

为了维持这种所谓的假象,纳吉显然联系了一家律师事务所,以获得一份声明BitClout不是证券发行的意见。为了让这家律师事务所出具这一意见,他不得不声称,“没有筹集或将筹集资金来为网络的开发或升级提供资金”,并且他不会“促进或支持上市或交易”

有趣的是,据称纳吉利用“没有筹集资金或将不会筹集资金来资助开发”的想法说服投资者提供资金来资助发展。此外,诉状指控纳吉使用1500万美元的募集资金让BTCLT在Blockchain.com上上市。

该投诉进一步强调,尽管营销声称BitClout是去中心化的,但Al Naji控制了国库钱包,将出售BTCLT的收益用于自己的利益,并控制了哪些投资者可以访问该代币。

美国证券交易委员会还表示,纳吉声称他不会使用国库资金支付团队的工资,但尽管有这些保证,他还是用这些资金支付了开发商的费用,并使自己和家人富裕起来,包括:

    在比佛利山庄租了一座豪宅,还清了信用卡,向家人发放了290万美元的现金礼物,用于支付他的其他加密货币投资

纳吉的妻子和母亲,以及德索基金会,也因涉嫌向他们转移资金而被列为救济被告。

Anthropic Eyes 'Training Chips'? Reportedly Considered Acquiring AI Chip Company MatX for $7 Billion

AI giant Anthropic reportedly discussed acquiring AI chip startup MatX for approximately $7 billion to accelerate its in-house chip development, specifically targeting "training chips" for large language models. This move follows OpenAI's recent unveiling of its own inference chip, "Jalapeño," highlighting a growing trend of major AI companies vertically integrating into hardware. However, the MatX deal was ultimately abandoned, with talks shifting toward potential collaboration instead. Anthropic's interest in MatX, a company founded in 2023 by former Google TPU engineers, underscores its strategic push to secure faster and more cost-efficient computing power for its Claude model. The company's broader chip ambitions are further evidenced by its recruitment of key industry veterans, including former Google TPU leader Amir Salek and ex-OpenAI chip engineer Clive Chan, to build an internal chip team. Anthropic is also actively meeting with several other AI chip startups to evaluate different architectures. Despite this significant investment in chip design capabilities, Anthropic reportedly plans to maintain a multi-vendor strategy, continuing its partnerships with major suppliers like Nvidia and Google. Developing advanced chips remains a costly and time-intensive endeavor, making the acquisition of an established startup like MatX an attractive, though currently unrealized, shortcut to gain expertise and potentially reduce long-term costs.
