挪用900萬美元公款揮霍!SafeMoon前CEO涉詐欺,遭判刑8年

SafeMoon 前執行長挪用逾 900 萬美元,遭判 100 個月徒刑並沒收資產,昔日迷因幣神話正式落幕。

美國紐約東區檢察官辦公室周二宣布,SafeMoon 前執行長、現年 29 歲的 Braden John Karony 為一己私利,詐取投資人錢財奢靡度日,被判處 100 個月(約 8 年 4 個月)有期徒刑。

檢察官指出,Braden John Karony 雖然對外宣稱要帶領投資人「安全地飛向月球(SafeMoon)」,私底下卻將投資人視為提款機。根據調查,他從公司竊取超過 900 萬美元的數位資產,用於購買猶他州一處價值 220 萬美元的房產、奧迪 R8 超跑、特斯拉,以及一輛要價不斐的訂製 Ford F-550 皮卡。

除了入獄服刑 8 年之外,法院還下令沒收 Braden John Karony 約 750 萬美元的不法所得及兩處房產。 FBI 紐約辦事處助理處長 James Barnacle 在聲明中指出:「Braden John Karony 不僅濫用執行長職權,更背叛了投資人的信任,從公司竊取超過 900 萬美元的數位資產來維持奢靡生活。」

今年 5 月,聯邦陪審團裁定 Braden John Karony 共謀證券詐欺、電信詐欺及洗錢罪名成立。

SafeMoon LLC 於 2021 年發行名為 SafeMoon 的加密貨幣,市值一度超過 80 億美元市值,備受散戶追捧,而最吸引投資人的機制就是獨特的「交易稅」,持有人只要轉帳或買賣代幣,就會被扣除 10% 的稅款,其中 5% 回饋持有者、剩餘 5% 注入流動性池。

然而,檢方指出這一切純屬騙局。 Braden John Karony 與其同夥實際上保留了對流動性池的控制權,並在未告知投資人的情況下,挪用了數百萬美元的資金作為己用。

這起案件的另外 2 名核心人物也面臨法律制裁。前技術長(CTO)Thomas Smith 已於 2025 年 2 月認罪,目前正在等待判刑;而另一名共犯 Kyle Nagy 目前依然在逃,美國司法單位持續追緝中。
