纽约州总检察长追讨加密货币平台NovaTech逾13.67亿美元逾1.1万名纽约人受害
据10月24日报道，纽约州总检察长詹乐霞10月22日向州法院提出动议，要求加密货币投资公司 NovaTech 及其创始人辛西娅·佩蒂翁和埃迪·佩蒂翁等关联方支付逾13.67亿美元，依据是2025年作出的一份缺席判决。这笔款项包括约11.35亿美元本金和约2.32亿美元利息；其中投资者存入的加密货币约11.6 亿美元，扣除约2600万美元已转至交易平台的资金后得出本金数额。州政府称，NovaTech 以及关联的 AWS Mining 骗局导致逾1.1万名纽约人损失数千万美元，作案手法是通过祈祷小组、社交媒体和 WhatsApp 群组，针对移民和宗教社区招揽投资，其中海地裔纽约人受害尤为集中。州政府主张，后续投资者的提款不应从 NovaTech 应退还的金额中扣除。另据10月22日公布的安排，推广人弗朗茨·西塞隆等四人合计承担近600万美元的支付义务，其中西塞隆一人承担200万美元，包括30天内支付85万美元，以及2026年至2029年每年12月31日各支付12.5万美元。
New York Attorney General Seeks More Than $1.367 Billion From Crypto Platform NovaTech: More Than 11,000 New Yorkers Victimized
According to an Oct. 24 report, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a motion in state court on Oct. 22 seeking more than $1.367 billion from crypto investment company NovaTech, its founders Cynthia Petion and Eddy Petion and related parties, based on a default judgment entered in 2025. The amount includes about $1.135 billion in principal and about $232 million in interest; the principal derives from about $1.16 billion in cryptocurrency deposited by investors, less about $26 million that was actually transferred to a trading platform. The state says NovaTech and the related AWS Mining scheme caused more than 11,000 New Yorkers to lose tens of millions of dollars, recruiting investors through prayer groups, social media and WhatsApp groups targeting immigrant and religious communities, with Haitian New Yorkers hit especially hard. The state argues that withdrawals by later investors should not be deducted from the amount NovaTech must repay. Under a separate arrangement announced Oct. 22, promoter Frantz Ciceron and three others together bear payment obligations of nearly $6 million, with Ciceron alone owing $2 million, including $850,000 due within 30 days and $125,000 each Dec. 31 from 2026 through 2029.
