                        正如法院所查明,从 2016 年 3 月到 2019 年 4 月,Seibert 欺诈性地向 11 名

                   参与者招揽并收到了 1000 多万美元。当时,Seibert 声称他将使用参与者资金向

                   第三方借款人提供短期、高利息、有担保的“过桥贷款”,据称第三方借款人将在
                   寻求长期融资的同时使用这些贷款资金进行物业维修(property repairs)。Seibert

                   告诉参与者,他将寻找贷款机会,完成尽职调查以确认借款人是否合格,并处理

                   贷款的清偿。然而,Seibert 并没有发放任何贷款。相反,Seibert 将大部分资金

                   集中起来,在其个人交易账户中交易商品合约,该交易损失超过 830 多万美元。

                   参与者的其他资金则被其用于个人开支。


                        平行刑事诉讼


                        在另一项诉讼中,美国德克萨斯州西区检察官办公室于 2021 年 6 月 3 日对

                   Seibert 提起刑事诉讼,指控其涉嫌两项电信欺诈和利用非法活动所得财产从事货

                   币交易。Seibert 承认其罪行,并于 2021 年 12 月 7 日被判处 70 个月的监禁,刑

                   满释放后外加 3 年监督释放。Seibert 还被判令支付 10,794,508 美元的赔偿金,

                   并没收违法所得。

                   7. Federal Court Orders Texas Unregistered Commodity Pool Operator to Pay

                   More Than $13 Million for Commodity Fraud (2022/7/7)


                        The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced the U.S. District

                   Court for the Western District of Texas entered a consent order on July 6, imposing

                   monetary sanctions against David Seibert, most recently of Lakeway, Texas.


                        The order resolves a CFTC action filed on September 10, 2020, and follows a

                   September 15, 2020 order in which the court found Seibert liable for solicitation fraud

                   and the misappropriation of client funds. The court also permanently prohibited him

                   from further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act, as charged, and imposed

                   permanent registration and trading bans. Today’s order requires Seibert to pay
                   $10,794,508 in restitution to victims of his scheme and to pay a $2,278,853 civil


                   monetary penalty.
