一名英国男子谎称藏有3.5亿英镑的加密藏品,以避免因偷窃2亿英镑而入狱,这是法院的规则。 A UK man falsely claimed a £3.5M crypto stash to avoid prison for stealing £2M, court rules.

Timothy Barnes,67岁,来自Droitwich, 被还押候审, 因为他谎称藏有350万英镑的加密货币 以偿还他偷走的200万英镑。 Timothy Barnes, 67, from Droitwich, has been remanded in custody after falsely claiming to have a £3.5 million cryptocurrency stash to repay £2 million he stole. 他在9月4日判刑前提出的诉求导致法院下令进行调查,但9月23日,由于缺乏可核查的细节,法官裁定其证据不足。 His claim, made before sentencing on September 4, led to a court-ordered investigation, but on September 23, the judge ruled it unsubstantiated due to lack of verifiable details. Barnes对39项指控(包括欺诈、盗窃和伪造金融文件)认罪,他也从英国摩托车慈善信托基金那里偷走了206 500英镑。 Barnes, who pleaded guilty to 39 charges including fraud, theft, and forging financial documents, also stole £206,500 from the British Motorcycle Charitable Trust. 法院认为他的虚假陈述严重地企图误导他,有可能加重他的刑期。 The court deemed his false statement a serious attempt to mislead, potentially increasing his sentence. 他将于10月3日判刑。 He will be sentenced on October 3.
