Justin Sun Agrees to $10M Settlement in US Fraud Case
孙宇晨同意以1000万美元和解美国欺诈案
Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun has agreed to pay $10 million to settle a civil fraud lawsuit brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The case, filed in March 2023, accused Sun and several related organizations of illegally distributing tronix and BitTorrent tokens, manipulating trading volumes through accounts he controlled, and hiding paid celebrity promotions. The SEC claimed the activities generated about $31 million in profits. Sun said the SEC had moved to dismiss all claims against him and the related foundations, though a spokesperson for the agency declined to comment. The case had been paused in February 2025 while settlement discussions took place. A federal judge must still approve the agreement before it becomes final.
加密货币企业家孙宇晨同意支付1000万美元，与美国证券交易委员会（SEC）达成民事欺诈诉讼和解。该案件于2023年3月提起，SEC指控孙宇晨及其相关机构非法发行Tron和BitTorrent代币，并通过其控制的账户进行交易以操纵交易量，同时隐瞒付费名人代言。SEC称这些行为共获利约3100万美元。孙宇晨表示，SEC已致信法官，准备撤销针对他及相关基金会的所有指控，但SEC发言人拒绝发表评论。该案件曾在2025年2月暂停，以便双方探索和解方案。目前和解协议仍需联邦法官批准后才能最终生效。
