The CEO and founder of Titanium Blockchain Infrastructure Services Inc. (TBIS) was sentenced today to four years and three months in prison for his role in a cryptocurrency fraud scheme involving TBIS’s initial coin offering (ICO) that raised approximately $21 million from investors in the United States and overseas.

Titanium Blockchain基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施服務(wù)公司（TBIS）的CEO和創(chuàng)始人因涉嫌參與一項(xiàng)加密貨幣欺詐計(jì)劃而被判處四年零三個(gè)月的監(jiān)禁，該計(jì)劃涉及TBIS的首次代幣發(fā)行（ICO），從美國(guó)和海外投資者那里籌集了大約2100萬(wàn)美元。

According to court documents, Michael Alan Stollery, 54, of Reseda, California, touted TBIS – a purported cryptocurrency investment platform – as a cryptocurrency investment opportunity, luring investors to purchase “BARs,” the cryptocurrency token or coin offered by TBIS’s ICO, through a series of false and misleading statements.

據(jù)法庭文件顯示，54歲的Michael Alan Stollery（來(lái)自加州雷塞達(dá)）把TBIS描述為一個(gè)所謂的加密貨幣投資平臺(tái)，通過(guò)一系列虛假和誤導(dǎo)性陳述吸引投資者購(gòu)買TBIS ICO提供的加密貨幣代幣或硬幣“BARs”。

Although he was required to do so, Stollery did not register the ICO regarding TBIS’s cryptocurrency investment offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), nor did he have a valid exemption from the SEC’s registration requirements.

盡管他有義務(wù)這樣做，但Stollery沒有向美國(guó)證券交易委員會(huì)（SEC）注冊(cè)關(guān)于TBIS加密貨幣投資方案的ICO，也沒有獲得SEC注冊(cè)要求的有效豁免。

To entice investors, Stollery falsified aspects of TBIS’s white papers, which purportedly offered investors and prospective investors an explanation of the cryptocurrency investment offering, including the purpose and technology behind the offering, how the offering was different from other cryptocurrency opportunities, and the prospects for the offering’s profitability.

為了吸引投資者，Stollery篡改了TBIS白皮書的某些方面，這些白皮書聲稱為投資者和潛在投資者提供了有關(guān)加密貨幣投資方案的說(shuō)明，包括提供方案的目的和技術(shù)、方案與其他加密貨幣機(jī)會(huì)的不同之處以及方案的盈利前景。

Stollery also planted fake client testimonials on TBIS’s website and falsely claimed that he had business relationships with the Federal Reserve and dozens of prominent companies to create the false appearance of legitimacy.

Stollery還在TBIS網(wǎng)站上植入了虛假的客戶推薦，并虛假宣稱他與聯(lián)邦儲(chǔ)備系統(tǒng)和數(shù)十家知名公司有業(yè)務(wù)關(guān)系，以創(chuàng)造虛假的合法性。

Stollery did not use the invested money as promised but instead commingled the ICO investors’ funds with his personal funds, using at least a portion of the offering proceeds for expenses unrelated to TBIS, such as credit card payments and the payment of bills for his Hawaii condominium.

Stollery沒有按照承諾使用投資款項(xiàng)，而是將ICO投資者的資金與個(gè)人資金混合使用，使用至少一部分募集資金用于與TBIS無(wú)關(guān)的費(fèi)用，例如信用卡支付和夏威夷公寓的賬單。
