此外,初步同意令认定,被告从 2018 年开始实施欺诈计划,以虚假承诺吸
收投资者资金,声称每 30 个工作日可获得 10%的回报。尽管 Ichioka 将部分资金
投资于外汇和数字资产商品,但他将参与者的资金与自己的资金混同,并将参与
者的资金用于个人开支,包括支付个人住宅租金、购买珠宝(包括手表)和豪华

Federal Court Orders New York Man to Pay Over $36 Million for Forex and
Digital Asset Fraud (2024/9/20)
Defendant Admitted to Falsifying Financial Documents, Providing Investors
False Account Statements and Diverting Investor Funds for Personal Luxuries
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced Judge Vince
Chhabria of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California entered an
order Sept. 19 assessing monetary relief totaling over $36 million against William
Koo Ichioka, a New York resident formerly of San Francisco. The order requires
Ichioka to pay $31 million in restitution to defrauded victims and a $5 million civil
monetary penalty in connection with his fraudulent foreign currency (forex) and
digital asset fraud scheme.
On Aug. 14, 2023, the court entered an initial consent order of permanent
injunction against Ichioka, prohibiting him from future violations of the Commodity
Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC regulations and banning him from trading in any
CFTC-regulated markets and from registering with the CFTC. This initial consent
order and the order entering monetary relief announced today resolve the CFTC’s
enforcement action against Ichioka. [See CFTC Press Release No.8727-23]
