US court again bans Binance’s CZ from leaving country
United States District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle banned former Binance Holdings Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Changpeng Zhao (CZ) from traveling while he is awaiting trial for banking law violations.
According to Zhao’s lawyers, he had requested permission to travel while out on bail because of his son’s health issues.
This is the second time the court rejected Zhao’s request to leave the country after he pleaded guilty under the agreement between him, Binance, and US authorities. He is expected to be sentenced in February next year.

周五，法官又传来币安前首席执行官 CZ 的坏消息，币安前首席执行官赵长鹏因违反银行法在美国等待判决，第二次被禁止出国旅行。
赵向美国地区法官理查德·A·琼斯（Richard A. Jones）提出旅行请求。但周五(12 月 29 日)在西雅图举行听证会后，琼斯拒绝了赵的申请。赵提议的旅行原因和他计划去的目的地仍然是秘密，因为它们已在法庭上密封归档。
律师代表赵长鹏提交了一份动议，以密封先前与旅行许可请求相关的动议。这项密封文件的请求于 12 月 27 日晚提交，旨在保护有关 CZ 孩子的敏感和私人医疗信息。该动议寻求法院批准密封与旅行许可和与该动议相关的拟议命令的材料。CZ 表示，这些文件中包含的信息涉及有关他孩子健康状况的敏感细节。

密码保护：7 Months Inside an Online Scam Labor Camp 2023.12.17 ☑Press ☑U.S.,美国
A man was abducted by a Chinese gang and forced to work in a scam operation. He gathered financial information, photos and videos and shared the material.
HE HAD BEEN PROMISED a generous salary. A better work-life balance. A chance to live in the vibrant metropolis of Bangkok. His fluency in English would be put to good use as a translator for an e-commerce company, the recruiter had said.
More than anything else, Neo Lu, a 28-year-old Chinese office worker, believed the gig would be the new start he needed to save money for his dream of emigrating to the West. So in June of last year, he said his goodbyes, flew to Thailand and headed for his new job.
But when he arrived, his head was spinning from the scorching sun — and the feeling that something was very wrong. Instead of an office building in a city, Mr. Lu had been dumped at what looked like a labor camp haphazardly built on a patch of jungle and muddy fields.
Within the compound were spartan, low-rise concrete buildings with barred windows and doors. Two men in combat fatigues, carrying rifles, guarded the main entrance. High walls and fences topped with razor wire surrounded the compound, clearly meant to keep not only outsiders at bay, but also those inside from leaving.
As Mr. Lu quickly realized, there was, in fact, no translation job. No e-commerce company, either. It had all been part of a ruse, starting with a posting on a Chinese job forum, perfected by human traffickers to get people like him to travel to Thailand.
The traffickers had led Mr. Lu across the Moei River, a muddy waterway on Thailand’s porous border, and smuggled him, without his knowledge, into a remote corner of Myanmar. There, they handed him over to a Chinese gang that had paid for him.
Mr. Lu had essentially been abducted and sold into a criminal enterprise, far away from everything he knew.
That was how he became one of hundreds of thousands of people who have been trafficked into criminal gangs and trapped in what one research group has called a “criminal cancer” of exploitation, violence and fraud that has taken root in Southeast Asia’s poorest nations.
Mr. Lu, who goes by the nickname Neo for the character in the Matrix movies, spoke to The New York Times on the condition that his full name not be used, for fear of retribution from the criminals. The Times verified the details of his travel, captivity and eventual rescue by interviewing his parents and two friends, as well as by reviewing text messages, copies of travel documents and letters issued by Chinese authorities.
His account of being trafficked aligns with those of many others who have been rescued from such camps. Taken together, his experience and the material he was able to smuggle out are a rare window into the inner workings and tactics of an underworld that is operating on a staggering scale.
From bases in Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, the gangs coerce their captives into carrying out complicated online scams that prey on the lonely and vulnerable around the world. Typically, such hoaxes involve using fake online identities to draw people into fictitious romantic relationships, then tricking them into handing over large sums of money in bogus cryptocurrency schemes.
➤在网络诈骗劳改营里的7个月
一名男子被中国团伙绑架并被迫在一个诈骗组织工作。他收集了财务信息、照片和视频，并分享了这些材料。
他曾被许诺丰厚的薪水、更好的工作与生活平衡、有机会住在充满活力的曼谷大都市。招聘人员表示，作为一家电子商务公司的翻译，他流利的英语将得到很好的利用。
最重要的是，28 岁的中国浙江台州上班族 Neo Lu（卢）相信这份工作将是他为移民梦想攒钱所需的新起点。于是，去年6月，他飞往泰国，前往新的工作岗位。
但当他到达时，他的头因烈日而晕眩，并感觉有些事情非常不对劲。卢先生被扔到的不是城市的办公楼，而是一片丛林和泥泞的田野上随意搭建的一个看起来像劳改营的地方。
院落内是简朴的低层混凝土建筑，门窗都装有铁栅栏。两名身着作战服、手持步枪的男子守卫着正门。高墙和顶部布满铁丝网的栅栏包围了大院，显然不仅是为了阻止外人进入，也是为了阻止里面的人离开。
卢先生的昵称来自《黑客帝国》电影主角Neo（尼奥），他接受采访时要求不透露自己的全名，因为担心遭到犯罪分子的报复。记者通过采访他的父母和两名朋友，并查看了中国当局签发的短信、旅行证件副本和信件，核实了他的旅行、被囚禁和最终获救的细节。
他对被贩运的描述与许多其他从此类营地获救的人的描述一致。总而言之，他的经验和他能够离开诈骗营的材料是了解规模惊人的黑社会内部运作和策略的难得窗口。

Four charged by feds, accused of running an $80 million ‘pig butchering’ scheme 2023.12.14 ☑Attorney ☑U.S.,美国
Lu Zhang, 36, Justin Walker, 31, Joseph Wong, 32, and Hailong Zhu, 40, allegedly used dating services and social media platforms to send unsolicited messages to victims.
Four accused scam artists, three from Southern California and one from suburban Chicago, were charged in an alleged “pig butchering” scheme that bilked victims out of more than $80 million, officials said Thursday.The defendants would cold call victims via dating apps and other social media platforms to “slowly gain their trust, eventually introducing the idea of making a business investment using cryptocurrency,” according to a statement by federal prosecutors in Los Angeles.U.S. authorities call this a “pig butchering” scheme, loosely translating the crime’s foreign language description of building a mark’s confidence before going in for the kill of stealing money.These “unsolicited messages or calls” were often presented as innocent “wrong number” contacts before striking up a friendship with victims, federal authorities said.The government named four defendants, Lu Zhang, a 36-year-old woman from Alhambra, California, and three male co-defendants — Justin Walker, 31, from Cypress, California, Joseph Wong, 32, of Rosemead, California, and Hailong Zhu, 40, from Naperville, Illinois.They were all charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering, concealment money laundering and international money laundering, officials said.Attorneys for Zhang and Walker could not be immediately reached for comment on Thursday afternoon. It wasn’t immediately clear if the other two defendants had hired or been assigned defense lawyers yet to speak on their behalf.
➤美国司法部周四（12月14日）宣布，联邦检察官挫败了一项加密货币投资诈骗案（俗称“杀猪盘”），四名男子被起诉，其中两人被捕，受害者损失超过8,000万美元。根据指控书，张璐（Lu Zhang，音译，女）、贾斯汀‧沃克（Justin Walker）和约瑟夫‧王（Joseph Wong，音译）是加州居民，与伊利诺伊州居民朱海龙（Hailong Zhu，音译）被控涉嫌合谋洗钱、隐匿洗钱和国际洗钱等七项罪名。张璐和沃克周三（13日）被捕并在洛杉矶联邦法院出庭。
“杀猪盘”是指一类电信诈骗手段，诈骗实施者通过电讯及网络信息技术来捏造虚拟形象获得被害方信任，进而建立亲密关系，最终达到骗取公私财物的目的。因该手段组织严密、产业链完整、施骗周期长、受害人数多、涉案金额高等原因，受到社会关注。在信任关系建立后，诈骗者谎称是可以教受害者如何透过交易加密货币或其它资产来赚取巨额利润，说服受害者将大笔资金发送到虚假的投资平台。但那些交易都是假的，收益也是精心伪造的。诈骗者在得手后逃走，有时一次可骗取数百万美元。
上述四名诈骗者涉及至少284笔诈骗操作，导致受害者损失超过8,000万美元。其中有超过2,000万美元是受害者被骗直接存入与被告有关的银行账户的。诉状称，被告利用在加州注册的空壳公司将利润转移到美国国内和国际银行账户。共谋者在包括美国银行和摩根大通在内的多家银行开设了账户，并让受害者向这些账户转账。然后，他们再将这些钱以他们自己的名义转移到国内账户，以及转移到香港或巴哈马银行的国际账户上，还有转移到虚拟币泰达币（Tether）上。如果罪名成立，张璐和沃克最高将面临20年监禁。
（“Pig butchering”（杀猪）源自中文短语“杀猪盘（sha zhu pan）”，是一种日益普遍的骗局。）

IRS Criminal Investigation Counts Down Agency’s Top 10 Cases For 2023 2023.12.11……【Gov】【U.S.】IRS Criminal Investigation is counting down the agency’s top 10 cases for 2023 on its social media accounts.
“Billions of dollars in fraud, victims across the globe and criminals who are all about personal gain. That’s the crux of 2023’s top 10 cases,” said CI Chief Jim Lee. “When I say our team at CI is the best at following the money trail, I mean it. Our investigators took down international tax schemes that preyed on people’s personal information, investigated multi-level marketing schemes involving cryptocurrency and uncovered one of the largest fraud schemes in history centered around renewable fuel credits.”
The cases include the agency’s most prominent and high-profile investigations of the past year.
➤【美国】美国国税局刑事调查部倒数 2023年十大案件
美国国税局刑事调查部正在其社交媒体账户上倒数该机构 2023 年十大案件。
“数十亿美元的欺诈、全球各地的受害者和只顾个人利益的犯罪分子，这是 2023 年十大案件的症结所在。” CI 负责人吉姆·李 (Jim Lee)说道。“当我说我们 CI 的团队最擅长追踪资金轨迹时，我是说真的。我们的调查人员捣毁了利用人们个人信息的国际税收计划，调查了涉及加密货币的多层次营销计划，并揭露了历史上最大的围绕可再生燃料信用的欺诈计划之一。”
这些案件包括该机构去年最引人注目、最突出高调的调查。他们是：
10.法国男子因国际税收计划被判刑
9.洛杉矶男子因新冠病毒和税务欺诈550万美元等罪名被判入狱
8.加密货币创始人“Bruno Block”被判处四年监禁
7.Silk Road 被告因扣押、没收超过 34 亿美元的加密货币而被判刑
6.马萨诸塞州父子因彩票、税务欺诈计划被判入狱
5.非法侵犯版权计划头目被判入狱
4.新罕布什尔州男子因比特币洗钱计划被判刑
3.数十亿美元加密货币计划 OneCoin 联合创始人被判处 20 年监禁
2.俄罗斯天然气公司前首席财务官因税务犯罪被判入狱
1.五名个人因数十亿美元生物燃料税收欺诈计划被判入狱
在美国历史上最大的欺诈计划之一中，五名个人因参与价值 10 亿美元的生物燃料税计划而被判入狱。他们是列夫·阿斯兰·德门（Lev Aslan Dermen，又名 Levon Termendzhyan）、雅各布·金斯顿、以赛亚·金斯顿、雷切尔·金斯顿和莎莉·金斯顿。
从2010年到2018年，共谋者参与了多项欺诈计划，包括洗钱、邮件欺诈以及欺诈性索取超过10亿美元的可退还可再生燃料税收抵免。该计划的基础是创造生物柴油生产和销售的假象，以向国税局申请税收抵免。美国国税局最终向 Washakie Renewable Energy（“Washakie”）支付了超过 5.11 亿美元的信贷，这是一家由 Jacob 和 Isaiah Kingston 拥有的犹他州生物柴油公司。金斯顿家族和德门家族将欺诈所得进行分配。
德门被判犯有共谋邮件欺诈、共谋洗钱和洗钱罪。除了 40 年监禁外，德门还被责令向美国国税局 (IRS) 支付 442,615,520 美元的赔偿金（还下令对他处以超过 1.81 亿美元的金钱判决）。
Washakie 共同所有人兼首席执行官雅各布·金斯顿 (Jacob Kingston) 被判处 18 年监禁，并被责令向美国国税局 (IRS) 赔偿 5.11 亿美元。法院还对他处以 3.38 亿美元的赔偿金。2019 年 7 月，他承认共谋实施邮件欺诈、向国税局提交虚假申报、洗钱和共谋实施此类犯罪、隐瞒和销毁记录以及共谋实施此类犯罪和篡改证人罪。
Washakie 的共同所有人兼首席财务官以赛亚·金斯顿 (Isaiah Kingston) 被判处 12 年监禁，并被责令向美国国税局 (IRS) 赔偿 5.11 亿美元。2019年7月，他承认共谋邮件欺诈、协助和协助提交虚假合伙企业纳税申报表、洗钱和共谋实施同样的犯罪行为，以及通过隐瞒和销毁记录和共谋实施同样的行为进行妨碍。
Washakie 的特别项目经理雷切尔·金斯顿 (Rachel Kingston) 因其参与该计划而被判处七年徒刑。2019 年 7 月，她承认共谋邮件欺诈、洗钱和共谋实施同样的行为，以及隐瞒和销毁记录进行阻挠。
莎莉·金斯顿因参与该计划而被判处六年监禁。2019年7月，她承认共谋邮件欺诈和共谋洗钱罪。
欺诈性索赔所得的资金被用来在美国、土耳其和伯利兹进行奢侈购买。据检察官称，德门在土耳其的同伙购买并重建了一艘名为“安妮女王”号的 150 英尺长游艇（该游艇于 2021 年在黎巴嫩贝鲁特被政府扣押，并在塞浦路斯以 1010 万美元的价格出售）。雅各布·金斯顿 (Jacob Kingston) 用诈骗所得中的 180 万美元为德门购买了一辆 2010 款布加迪威龙 (Bugatti Veyron) 作为礼物，而德门则向雅各布·金斯顿 (Jacob Kingston) 赠送了一辆镀铬兰博基尼和一辆金色法拉利。此外，部分洗钱还被用来为雅各布·金斯顿和莎莉·金斯顿在犹他州桑迪购买一栋豪宅，以及在加利福尼亚州亨廷顿海滩购买一栋豪宅。
美国国税局凤凰城办事处特别负责人阿尔伯特·柴尔德里斯指出：“此案是针对美国及其公民的史无前例的欺诈案之一，也是美国历史上最令人震惊的税务欺诈案之一。” 他还向其他人发出警告，“尽管你努力洗钱，或者试图掩盖你的罪行，但我们的金融调查人员总能追踪到线索，正义将会得到伸张。”
IRS-CI（美国国税局刑事调查部）
IRS-CI 是美国第六大执法机构，是美国国税局的刑事调查部门，负责开展税务欺诈、毒品贩运、洗钱、公共腐败、医疗保健欺诈和身份盗窃等金融犯罪调查。虽然其他联邦机构也对洗钱和一些违反银行保密法的行为拥有调查管辖权，但国税局是唯一可以调查潜在的违反税法犯罪行为的联邦机构。
该机构在美国各地设有 20 个现场办事处，并在国外设有 12 个专员职位。

Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office: GIFT CARD SCAM AND ARREST 2023.12.7……【Press】【U.S.】During our recent retail theft Operation Bad Elf, detectives observed an individual, later identified as Ningning Sun, acting suspiciously near the gift cards in the payment aisles in a Sacramento Target store. Detectives observed him placing all the gift cards inside his jacket, then replacing the gift cards on the rack with another set of seemingly identical ones. After Sun was stopped trying to exit the store with the stolen gift cards, detectives discovered over 5000 gift cards from Target and Apple in his possession.
Their investigation revealed Sun was part of a scam that tampered with gift cards, scanned the bar code, and stole money from the gift card as money was loaded on them. Victims are completely unaware it is happening, and the money is often siphoned to an off-shore account within seconds. Their investigation revealed that the operation spanned across California and several regions nationwide.
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office urges residents to be cautious when purchasing physical gift cards from any retailer. Be observant of any signs of tampering, especially scuff marks or scratches near the bar code on the back of the card. These operations are very sophisticated and modifications to the gift cards are often virtually undetectable, even to the trained eye. Detectives suspect Sun has done this at many stores and are requesting the public’s help to potentially link him to other crimes.
➤【美国】萨克拉门托县治安官办公室称，一名男子因在 Target 商店篡改礼品卡而在加利福尼亚州被捕。
周三，孙宁宁在治安官为期一周的“坏精灵行动”中被捕，该行动的目标是整个萨克拉门托县的零售盗窃案。警方称，孙宁宁拥有超过 5,000 张 Target 和 Apple 礼品卡。
据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻报道，这些卡片被追踪到全州 12 个县的 54 家 Target 商店。调查人员认为，从洛杉矶到湾区和中央谷，全州塔吉特百货的货架上可能仍存有数千张欺诈性礼品卡。
目前尚不清楚孙是否有律师。
萨克拉门托治安官办公室表示，孙被捕前曾在萨克拉门托 Target 商店的支付通道中的礼品卡附近行为可疑。“侦探们观察到他将所有礼品卡放在夹克内的架子上，然后用另一套看似相同的礼品卡替换了礼品卡。” 孙在带着偷来的礼品卡试图离开商店时遇到了质问。
治安官办公室表示，他们的调查显示，Sun 参与了横跨加州和全国其他几个地区的礼品卡诈骗。该骗局涉及篡改扫描礼品卡上的条形码并窃取其中的金额
治安官办公室表示：“受害者完全没有意识到事情正在发生，钱往往在几秒钟内就被转移到离岸账户。”
当局已向那些从零售商处购买礼品卡的人发出警告，并建议他们在购买时要小心谨慎，并观察是否有任何被篡改的迹象，例如卡背面条形码附近的磨损痕迹或划痕。
治安官办公室表示：“这些操作非常复杂，即使对受过训练的人来说，对礼品卡的修改通常也几乎无法察觉。”
治安官办公室还建议完全避免购买礼品卡。
与此同时，塔吉特在一份声明中表示，他们已经意识到这些骗局，并非常严肃地对待它们。

Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao cannot leave the United States ahead of his criminal sentencing, a federal judge ruled.
The ruling reverses a previous decision allowing Zhao, the cryptocurrency titan also known as CZ, to travel to his home in the United Arab Emirates before he is sentenced on Feb. 23.
“The defendant has enormous wealth and property abroad, and no ties to the United States,” the judge wrote.
➤【美国】币安加密货币交易所、创始人赵长鹏 ( CZ )。
法官周四裁定，大型加密货币交易所币安的创始人赵长鹏必须留在美国，等待因违反联邦洗钱规则而被判刑。
理查德·琼斯法官支持司法部，并命令 CZ 留在美国。
美国地区法官理查德·琼斯站在司法部一边，要求全球最大加密货币交易所币安 CZ 的创始人兼前首席执行官赵长鹏（更广为人知的名字是“CZ”）留在美国，而不是在开庭前返回海外。
CZ 请求处理他的刑事案件的法院允许他飞往他的家人居住的阿布扎比，与他们在一起，直到他被要求返回美国接受判决。然而，琼斯法官驳回了上诉。
检察官辩称，尽管 CZ 同意缴纳 1.75 亿美元的保释金，但他未能在宣判前提供足够的保证不会逃跑。
琼斯法官在周四的法庭文件中表示：“虽然保释方案规模巨大，甚至史无前例，但该方案似乎主要由政府无法控制的资产组成。” “被告在国外拥有巨额财富和财产，与美国没有联系。他的家人居住在阿联酋，看来他在阿联酋享有有利的地位，”琼斯周四在华盛顿西雅图联邦法院发布的一份长达六页的命令中写道。琼斯写道：“在这种情况下，法院认为被告没有提供明确且令人信服的证据证明他如果返回阿联酋就不太可能逃跑。”
该裁决推翻了之前的决定，一名治安法官最初裁定，赵在等待 2 月 23 日宣判期间可以返回迪拜，与他的伴侣和三个孩子住在一起。
