sec gives bitcoin etfs the green light 2024.1.10 ☑press ☑gov ☑u.s.,美国
today, the commission approved the listing and trading of a number of spot bitcoin exchange-traded product (etp) shares.
the regulator has for years opposed a so-called spot bitcoin fund, with several firms filing and then withdrawing applications for etfs in the past. sec chair gary gensler has been an outspoken critic of crypto during his tenure.

今天，委员会批准了一些现货比特币交易所交易产品（etp）的上市和交易
➤监管机构的举措预计将使普通投资者更容易进行比特币投资，而不要求他们直接拥有数字资产。
监管机构多年来一直反对所谓的现货比特币基金，过去有几家公司提交过然后又撤回了 etf 申请。sec 主席加里·詹斯勒 (gary gensler) 在任职期间一直直言不讳地批评加密货币。
美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒在美国证券交易委员会网站上的一份声明中明确表示，该机构仍然保持警惕。“虽然我们今天批准了某些现货比特币 etp 基金的上市和交易，但我们并未批准或认可比特币，投资者应该对比特币与其价值以及加密货币产品相关的无数风险保持谨慎。”他写道。—

密码保护：sec says it did not yet approve bitcoin etf, x account was compromised 2024.1.10 ☑press ☑gov ☑u.s.,美国
“the sec’s @secgov x/twitter account has been compromised. the unauthorized tweet regarding bitcoin etfs was not made by the sec or its staff,” an sec spokesperson told cnbc.
the false social media post said that the sec had approved bitcoin etfs for trading.
the price of bitcoin briefly spiked after the initial post, but then quickly slid below $46,000.
x said late tuesday it has completed a preliminary probe into the compromised account of the u.s. securities and exchange commission that displayed a false post.
“based on our investigation, the compromise was not due to any breach of x’s systems, but rather due to an unidentified individual obtaining control over a phone number associated with the @secgov account through a third party,” said x in a post .
➤美国证券交易委员会周二下午表示，社交媒体上有关比特币交易所交易基金的公告不正确。
“美国证券交易委员会的 @secgov x/twitter 帐户已被盗用，有关比特币 etf 的未经授权的推文不是由 sec 或其工作人员发布的。”sec 发言人告诉 cnbc。
该虚假社交媒体帖子称，美国证券交易委员会已批准比特币 etf 进行交易。比特币价格在最初发布后短暂飙升，但随后迅速跌破46,000 美元。
➤社交媒体 x 周二晚间表示，已完成对美国证券交易委员会受损账户的初步调查，该账户发布了虚假帖子，声称 sec 已批准比特币 etf 交易。
x 在帖子中确认 sec 的账户遭到泄露：“根据我们的调查，此次泄露并非由于 x 系统遭到破坏，而是由于身份不明的个人通过 第三方获得了对与@secgov帐户相关的电话号码的控制权”。
x 在帖子中表示：“我们还可以确认该帐户在被盗时并未启用双因素身份验证。”—

密码保护：exiled chinese billionaire guo wengui hit with new rico conspiracy charge 2024.1.4 ☑press ☑u.s.,美国
federal prosecutors in new york on thursday added an expansive racketeering count against chinese financier guo wengui, who is accused of orchestrating a $1 billion fraud conspiracy.
wengui, an associate of american conservative media strategist steve bannon, was arrested in march 2023 at his apartment in the sherry-netherland hotel in manhattan, where a fire subsequently broke out later that day as fbi agents were still searching it.
prosecutors in the southern district of new york have accused wengui — also known as miles guo and ho wan kwok — of carrying out a complex conspiracy to defraud thousands of his online followers out of over $1 billion dollars by lying to prospective investors and promising them outsized returns if they invested, or provided money to his chinese media platform gtv, and other companies, including himalaya farm alliance, g clubs, and the himalaya exchange.
wengui’s first indictment included criminal counts of conspiracy, wire fraud, securities fraud, international money laundering and obstruction of justice.
the superseding indictment unsealed thursday morning adds an additional count of racketeering conspiracy under racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations (rico) statute, which carries a 20 year maximum sentence and forfeiture of any ill-gotten gains from the criminal activity.
➤周四，纽约联邦检察官对郭文贵增加了一项敲诈勒索罪名，郭文贵被指控策划了一场 10 亿美元的欺诈计划。
纽约南区检察官指控文贵（又名文贵先生和何万国）实施了一项复杂的阴谋，通过向潜在投资者撒谎并向他们承诺巨额资金，诈骗了数千名在线粉丝超过 10 亿美元。
文贵的第一份起诉书包括共谋、电信欺诈、证券欺诈、国际洗钱和妨碍司法公正等刑事罪名。
周四上午公布的替代起诉书根据诈骗影响和腐败组织 (rico) 法规增加了一项共谋敲诈勒索罪名，该法规最高可判处 20 年徒刑，并没收犯罪活动中的任何不义之财。
检察官表示，从 2018 年到至少 2023 年 3 月，文贵及其同谋“通过一系列复杂的欺诈和虚构业务和投资机会，将数十个相互关联的实体联系起来，实施了一项犯罪活动，这使得被告及其同谋共谋索取、洗钱和挪用受害者资金。”
据检察官称，他误导了一种名为“h-coin”、“himalaya coin”或“hcn”的加密资产证券的潜在投资者，错误地声称 h-coin 的 20% 价值是由黄金支持的，并且他将亲自赔偿投资者的任何潜在损失。
联邦 rico 法案起源于 1970 年，作为打击有组织犯罪的工具。该法律使检察官能够针对犯罪组织内的高层人士，而不仅仅是处理肮脏工作的低层人员。

密码保护：2 indicted in $8.5 million nationwide airbnb/vrbo scam that allegedly defrauded 1000s of victims and discriminated against renters 2024.1.4 ☑attorney ☑u.s.,美国
los angeles – a federal grand jury has indicted two men on federal fraud charges that allege a double-booking, bait-and-switch scam run through online property rental platforms – primarily airbnb – that brought in more than $8.5 million through misleading listings and fraudulently canceling reservations, which included discrimination against black people, the justice department announced today.
shray goel, 35, of miami, and shaunik raheja, 34, of denver, were charged wednesday in a superseding indictment that accuses them of fraud in connection with more than 10,000 reservations linked to nearly 100 properties across 10 states.
goel was initially charged in an indictment returned on december 13. he was arrested in florida on december 27 and was released on bond the following day. raheja was added as a defendant in the superseding indictment. both defendants are expected to be arraigned in united states district court in los angeles in the coming weeks.
➤当局周四表示，一名迈阿密男子是因大规模短期租赁诈骗案被起诉的两人之一，该诈骗案诈骗了 10 个州的数千名受害者，骗取了超过 850 万美元。
据美国加州中区检察官办公室称，35 岁的迈阿密人 shray goel（戈埃尔） 和 34 岁的丹佛人 shaunik raheja（拉赫贾） 周三被指控犯有多项欺诈罪，涉及近 100 处房产的 10,000 多个预订。
检察官称，这两人及其员工通过在线房产租赁平台实施了“双重预订、诱饵和转换”骗局。他们通过误导性列表和欺诈性取消预订，其中包括对“被认为是黑人的客人”的歧视，在 airbnb 上获得了约 700 万美元的付款，并通过 vrbo 获得了约 150 万美元的预订。
当局称，这些房产位于佛罗里达州的达文波特、洛杉矶和马里布、丹佛、芝加哥、萨凡纳、南本德、克利夫兰、纳什维尔、奥斯汀、达拉斯和密尔沃基等地。
据称，goel 和 raheja 通过 airbnb 和 vrbo 上同一房屋的多个列表重复预订了房屋，然后“在最后一刻发明了虚假的借口 – 通常声称管道问题 – 取消超额预订的客人或诱骗他们搬到劣质的替代住宿，”美国检察官的声明称。
与此同时，他们通过对房产进行秘密竞标战，在同一晚以不同的价格发布同一房产的多个列表，然后允许出价最高的人租用房产，然后取消或更换较低的房产，从而从该计划中获利。检察官称，他们向客人支付了该地区另一处房产的费用。
检察官称，戈埃尔和拉赫贾甚至试图避免租房给他们认为是黑人的客人。
起诉书称：“戈埃尔和拉赫贾决定保留哪些客人以及取消哪些客人，部分原因是他们的种族偏见和歧视。”

assistant deputy mayor louis molina, public safety: good evening, everyone. my name is louis molina, the assistant deputy mayor for public safety. for those of you joining us for the first time, this discussion is a part of a series of briefings we hold about public safety in new york city to let you hear information directly from the source, the leaders working behind the scenes to keep our city safe.
protecting public safety is a team effort, so each briefing brings features from different agencies, speakers and topics. but that team also includes you, the public. my ask of you if you are tuning in this evening is to take something you learn here today and share it with a friend, a family member, a neighbor. we stay safe by staying informed. if each of us passes along the information we learn about what the city is doing to increase safety, we, in turn, help to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
today, i’m joined by new york city sheriff anthony miranda, and members of his team: lieutenant kenneth matos, sergeant richard lois and sergeant francesca rosa. the sheriff’s office is a critical arm of the public safety apparatus when it comes to enforcing laws in new york city.
➤文字记录：公共安全办公室举行纽约市公共安全简报会
负责公共安全的助理副市长路易斯·莫利纳（louis molina）： 大家晚上好。我叫路易斯·莫利纳，负责公共安全的助理副市长。对于那些第一次加入j9九游会登陆入口的人来说，这次讨论是我们举办的有关纽约市公共安全的一系列简报的一部分，让您直接从消息来源听到信息，即在幕后工作以维护我们城市安全的领导人。
保护公共安全需要团队的努力，因此每次简报都会带来不同机构、演讲者和主题的特色，但这个团队也包括你们，公众。如果你今晚收看节目，我对你的要求是，把你今天在这里学到的东西分享给朋友、家人、邻居。我们通过随时了解情况来确保安全。如果我们每个人都传递我们所了解的有关城市正在采取哪些措施来提高安全性的信息，那么我们反过来也会帮助保护我们自己和我们所爱的人。
今天，纽约市警长安东尼·米兰达 (anthony miranda) 和他的团队成员：肯尼斯·马托斯 (kenneth matos) 副警监、理查德·路易斯 (richard lois) 警佐和弗朗西斯卡·罗莎 (francesca rosa) 警佐也加入了我的行列。在纽约市执行法律时，治安官办公室是公共安全机构的重要组成部分。
➤除了打击非法大麻店有成，治安官办公室的犯罪调查组在打击契约欺诈（deed fraud）方面也有成效。自2014年开始，纽约市治安官便着手调查契约欺诈，并于2019年正式成立工作组。
纽约市治安官办公室警官罗莎（francesca rosa）指出，纽约市在2014年时共有450件契约欺诈投诉，目前全市的投诉数量已经降至51件。
目前纽约市的契约欺诈反映在以下领域：卖空/取消抵押品赎回权骗局、身份盗窃和法律继承人骗局。
罗莎指出，契约欺诈常见有人直接伪造合法物业持有人的签名，或者骗人签署财产契约。但是切割法定继承人或继承人的骗局也逐渐受到治安官的关注，欺诈的手段是诈骗犯在骗到一部分房产后，就出手买断该房产的其他在世继承人的份额。
罗莎表示，当财产的无利害关系继承人被欺骗，把财产分割或契约的合法部分签给诈骗犯时，诈骗犯就会强行出售该财产或买断其他继承人的股份。
因此，罗莎提醒民众务必“确保财产还在遗嘱中，该财产的财务状况良好，而且不能被（债权人）强制执行。”—

密码保护：t-mobile will soon fine some third-party messaging vendors $2,000 if they send illegal spam 2023.12.28 ☑press ☑u.s.,美国
spam has been a massive problem through text messages over the last few years. now, t-mobile has changed its terms of service to add fines as high as $2,000 to third-party messaging accounts that send spam, social engineering messages, or illegal content over the t-mobile network. these new fines will take effect on january 1, 2024.
the good news is their regular accounts are not affected by these new rules, but third-party messaging vendors accounts will face new fines and termination if they continue to send spam, social engineering, or illegal content over the t-mobile network.
“these changes only impact third-party messaging vendors that send unlawful or unallowed commercial mass messaging campaigns for other businesses. the vendors will be fined if the content they are sending does not meet the standards in our code of conduct, which is in place to protect consumers from illegal or illicit content and aligns to federal and state laws.” t-mobile said in a statement sent to cord cutters news.
➤在过去的几年里，垃圾邮件已经成为短信中的一个大问题。现在，t-mobile 更改了其服务条款，对通过 t-mobile 网络发送垃圾邮件、社会工程消息或非法内容的第三方消息帐户处以高达 2,000 美元的罚款。这些新罚款将于 2024 年 1 月 1 日生效。
好消息是他们的常规帐户不受这些新规则的影响，但如果第三方消息供应商帐户继续通过 t-mobile 网络发送垃圾邮件、社会工程或非法内容，他们将面临新的罚款和终止。
“这些变化只会影响为其他企业发送非法或不允许的商业群发消息活动的第三方消息供应商。如果供应商发送的内容不符合我们的行为准则标准，他们将被罚款，该行为准则旨在保护消费者免受非法内容的侵害，并符合联邦和州法律。” t-mobile 在一份声明中表示。
对于最终 t-mobile 用户来说，这是个好消息，t-mobile 正在寻找新方法来阻止垃圾邮件发送者利用其网络向您发送非法内容。请务必记住，如果您使用 t-mobile 进行日常通话、短信和数据传输，则无需担心这些罚款。
➤垃圾讯息和诈骗讯息肆虐，除了对我们构成滋扰，甚至会有人受骗并因此蒙受损失，为了对付这些通过电话讯息作出的不法行为，全球通讯机关和电讯商都尝试不同的手段，而美国电讯商t-mobile 早前公布，会针对发布不当讯息的机构作惩处。
日前有报道指t-mobile 会在2024 年1 月1 日起，执行新的罚款制度，任何第三方机构利用t-mobile 网络发送诈骗、垃圾和非法讯息，将会按照不同讯息类别而作出不同处罚。第一类别的网络钓鱼和社会工程操纵人们泄露私人信息会被罚2,000 美元，第二类的违法内容（例如大麻和拉客）会罚款1,000 美元，第三类其他违规内容（例如，在未验证收件人年龄的情况下发送“shaft”（即性、仇恨、酒精、枪支和烟草的缩写）内容）则罚款500 美元。
部分协助客户发送文字讯息的公司，早前已经提醒不要发送违法或不当内容；有美国媒体认为t-mobile 此举无法完全杜绝垃圾和诈骗讯息，但至少能够减少部分讯息散播，第三方公司在接受客户发送讯息的请求前，亦可能会更加审慎以避免遭到罚款。
