TrueUSD Rescue Highlights Global Custodian Fraud Scandal
这是我2025年11月27日的发言稿，欢迎媒体引用！我想向在座的各位更新关于TrueUSD的最新进展！这是我们行业中，一则关于坚韧不拔、责任担当，以及不懈追求正义的故事。 回溯今年四月，我本人召开了一场新闻发布会，正式宣布以我个人的财务资源，启动针对TUSD稳定币公众持有者的救助计划，以弥补约 5 亿美元的流动性资金缺口。 需要明确的是，此流动性问题并非源于TUSD 运营管理不善，而是正如Techteryx在法院诉讼中详细指控的那样，该流动性问题是源于数家受托保管TUSD储备金资产的金融机构存在大规模欺诈与资产挪用的违法行为。涉事机构包括ARIA集团、First Digital Trust（FDT）、Legacy Trust、Finaport、TrueCoin等；其中相关关键人物包括 Matthew Brittain、Vincent Chok、Alex De Lorraine 和 Yai Sukonthabhund。Techteryx收购TUSD业务后, Aria及其同伙通过谎言和欺骗窃取TUSD储备资产的这一欺诈行为，相关证据逐渐被揭露。 为彰显公义和追究责任，Techteryx已在多个司法辖区提起诉讼，包括向DIFC法院提交了详细指控，阐明Aria欺诈事件的团伙成员如何通过欺诈手段挪用近5亿美元的TUSD储备资产。毫无疑问，Aria精心布局的全球骗局的核心，是一群严重背弃职业与受托责任的不法分子。他们侵吞客户资产、收受非法回扣，并通过离岸空壳公司网络洗白其非法所得。 经过DIFC法院的深入审理，DIFC法院认为此案存在一个有待进一步正式审理的严重问题，即各涉案被告通过虚假陈述诱导Techteryx同意。相关虚假陈述包括：将Aria Commodity Finance Fund描述为专注于“短期资产抵押贸易融资”且由有声誉的知名机构提供信用风险担保的低风险投资工具。然而，相关资金并未用于上述用途，而是被转移至Aria Commodities DMCC（“Aria DMCC”)，这是一家位于迪拜、由Aria全球骗局行动主谋Matthew Brittain的妻子所控制的私人公司。 随着真相被逐渐揭开，这场骗局清晰呈现出全球性规模的特征，核心涉及迪拜与香港两大金融中心，同时资金被安排层层转移，经由开曼群岛、美国、澳大利亚、英国、新加坡、列支敦士登、乌克兰及非洲等多个国家和地区。随后，所有失踪资金或被洗钱转移，或成为无法赎回的贷款，被滞留于各种欺诈性投资项目中，例如一项在阿联酋地区处于亏损状态的沥青制造设施、可疑的非洲地区煤矿开采权、与FTX的加密货币交易、美国和乌克兰等地区的所谓大宗商品项目、以及对未经证实的、价值微乎其微的澳大利亚地区的港口基础设施和可再生能源项目等等。 显然，Alex De Lorraine在其担任Techteryx受托代理人期间，通过欺诈性陈述将Aria Commodity Finance Fund包装成低风险、具流动性的金融投资工具——此事实亦可从美国证券交易委员会SEC对TrueCoin的指控文件中得以印证。而正是通过这些虚假陈述，他协助并纵容了Matthew Brittain、Vincent Chok与 Yai Sukonthabhund等人对Techteryx实施系统性欺诈，进而导致近5亿美元的TUSD储备金被非法挪用。 现在，我将向各位汇报最新进展，这些进展为相关的资产重组、以及对不法分子的追责带来了明确的积极信号。 在我们宣布救助计划的六个月后，我们已在法律层面取得了重大进展。2025年10月17日，迪拜DIFC法院法官阁下Michael Black KC确认并颁布所有权禁制令，发出针对Aria Commodities DMCC、其非法占用本属于TUSD的4.56亿美元资产及相关违法洗钱所得发布了全球冻结令。这一裁决具有里程碑意义——这是DIFC法院首次发布的全球冻结令。该冻结令旨在防止相关资产于香港法院对案件作出最终裁决之前，被进一步转移或隐匿。 DIFC法院认定已有确凿证据表明相关方存在违反信托义务的行为。在2021至2022年期间经由FDT和Legacy Trust违法挪用至Aria DMCC 的TUSD储备资金，很大部分被转移至流动性极低的可疑项目，此举严重违反了托管协议，将本应稳健安全的储备金投资在高风险、无法赎回的资产。法官同时指出其中存在Matthew Brittain等关键人物隐匿相关资产的真实风险。 法院亦指出，其中香港主体Glass...
