英国法院推进了前 Saitama 首席执行官 Manpreet Kohli 的对美引渡程序。根据路透报道,法官 Samuel Goozee 于 8 月 19 日驳回 Kohli 的抗辩,并将案件移交英国政府,就美国提出的引渡请求作出下一步决定。

Kohli 目前仍可继续上诉,因此引渡尚未最终确定。他现阶段以 20 万英镑保释在外,约合 27.24 万美元。报道同时提到,Kohli 尚未被定罪。

引渡抗辩未获支持

Kohli 此前反对被引渡,理由之一是担心自己在美国羁押期间的心理健康状况,以及可能存在自杀风险。法官认为,在转移过程和美国监狱体系内,相关保障措施足以把风险控制在可接受范围内,因此没有采纳这一抗辩理由。

这一进展发生前,波士顿联邦法院本月早些时候也作出过一项对 Kohli 不利的裁定。当地法官驳回了他要求撤销起诉书的申请。Kohli 当时主张,Saitama 代币在美国法律下不能被认定为证券。

美国指控涉及代币操纵

这起案件源于美国司法部此前针对加密市场操纵展开的调查。2024 年 10 月 9 日,也就是 Kohli 在伦敦被捕两天后,美国司法部公布了“Operation Token Mirrors”行动下的起诉内容,指控相关人员涉嫌欺诈和洗售交易。

所谓洗售交易,是指通过多个账户反复买卖同一资产,或与他人协同行动,制造虚假的成交量和市场活跃度,而并非真实交易需求推动。

检方称获利约2000万美元

按照美国司法部说法,包括 Kohli 在内的 18 人曾在多个钱包之间协调买入代币,并向 ZM Quant 和 Gotbit 支付费用,要求后者在多家交易所进行洗售交易。检方还称,这些高管一边公开否认出售持仓,一边私下抛售代币,套现数百万美元。

检方指控 Kohli 个人获利约 2000 万美元。报道还提到,做市商 Gotbit 此后已承认曾为包括 Saitama 在内的客户操纵代币价格和成交量。2025 年 6 月,Gotbit 被裁定没收 2300 万美元,其创始人 Aleksei Andriunin 被判处 8 个月监禁。
