币界网报道:

美国证券交易委员会(SEC)周一表示,该机构已对NovaTech的创始人提起诉讼,指控其经营庞氏骗局,该骗局净赚6.5亿美元的加密货币。

美国证券交易委员会指控Cynthia和Eddy Petiton涉嫌将该骗局策划为一个“加密资产投资计划”和多层次营销(MLM)公司,据该机构称,该公司在2019年至2023年间主要针对海地裔美国人社区。

美国证券交易委员会沃思堡地区办事处主任埃里克·沃纳在一份声明中表示:“NovaTech和请愿书给全球数万名受害者造成了难以估量的损失。”。“正如我们所声称的那样,这种规模的传销计划需要发起人来推动它们,今天的行动表明,我们不仅会追究这些大规模计划的主要设计者的责任,还会追究那些通过非法招揽受害者来传播欺诈行为的发起人的责任。”

6月,纽约总检察长Letitia James分别起诉NovaTech和AWS Mining运营非法传销。纽约股份公司表示,骗子从投资者那里获得了10亿美元,其中11000美元来自纽约。

“这些加密货币公司以移民和宗教社区为目标,承诺财务自由,但却偷走了他们的钱,耗尽了他们的毕生积蓄,”詹姆斯当时说。

根据美国证券交易委员会的投诉,NovaTech向投资者承诺利润和资金安全,声称他们将投资于加密货币和外汇市场。相反,他们将大部分资金用于支付现有投资者和发起人的费用,同时为自己吸走了数百万美元。

美国证券交易委员会表示:“当NovaTech最终倒闭时,大多数投资者无法撤回投资,导致重大损失。”。

虽然NovaTech能够窃取数亿加密货币,但美国证券交易委员会的新投诉没有具体说明骗局中窃取了哪种类型的加密货币。

美国证券交易委员会还对NovaTech的发起人Martin Zizi、Dapilinu Dunbar、James Corbett、Corrie Sampson、John Garofano和Marsha Hadley提出指控,指控他们为该计划招募投资者和发起人。

美国证券交易委员会表示:“NovaTech为他们及其网络招募的投资者支付了可观的佣金。”。“当Zizi、Dunbar、Corbett和Sampson意识到NovaTech的某些危险信号,包括美国和加拿大监管机构对其采取的监管行动时,他们继续招募投资者并淡化了这些危险信号。”

美国证券交易委员会表示,Zizi已同意在等待法院批准的情况下,通过同意10万美元的民事罚款来部分解决其指控,并被禁止参与未来的类似活动。然而,该机构表示,齐齐没有承认或否认美国证券交易委员会的指控,并指出其他处罚将在稍后确定。

美国证券交易委员会没有立即回应Decrypt的置评请求。

Warsh Hearing Concludes: What Are the Notable Signals for the Crypto Industry?

The Senate Banking Committee held a confirmation hearing for Judy Shelton, a Federal Reserve nominee, who faced intense questioning regarding her ability to maintain the central bank's independence amid pressure from President Trump to lower interest rates. Shelton denied any pre-arranged commitments on rate cuts and emphasized her independence, though Democrats remained skeptical, citing contradictions with Trump's public statements. Shelton characterized post-pandemic inflation as a major policy failure and called for a "regime change" in the Fed’s approach, including reforms to inflation measurement and communication strategies. She criticized the current practice of Fed officials frequently signaling future rate moves and did not commit to maintaining post-meeting press conferences, suggesting potential reductions in transparency. Regarding crypto markets, Shelton’s extensive investments in digital asset companies—including Solana, DeFi, and blockchain infrastructure—were noted, though she has pledged to divest these holdings due to ethics rules. Her familiarity with the crypto industry and deregulatory leanings may signal a more open, though cautious, stance toward digital assets. However, concerns were raised about potential conflicts of interest, especially given Trump family involvement in crypto-financial ventures. The timing of her confirmation remains uncertain, pending a Justice Department investigation into current Chair Powell. Shelton’s potential leadership could lead to a more hawkish, productivity-focused Fed with tighter policy communication—factors that may significantly influence liquidity conditions and macro narratives for crypto markets.
