Police: Suicide Linked to USD 180,000 Crypto Losses
By Tim Alper

警方 : 这起自杀案件与18万美金(约折合新台币504万)的加密货币投资损失有关
A South Korean man aged in his twenties has committed suicide – and police
claim that a crypto investment gone wrong likely drove him to take his own
life.
一名韩国的20多岁男子被确定自杀身亡,警方表示这起事件可能因加密货币投资失利导致
Police in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, said the man was found dead in the
area on the afternoon of April 24. No suicide note was discovered, but
officers told the media that crypto investment was thought to have driven the
man to take his own life – although their investigation is still ongoing.
根据江原道江陵市的警方称,该男子在4月24日下午被发现陈尸在该区域,附近没有发现
遗书,但警方告诉媒体,导致该男子自杀的原因很有可能是加密货币投资,尽管他们的
调查仍在进行中。
Per Hanguk Kyungjae and Money S, the man had told his parents that he had
been “mentally distressed” by an investment “failure” involving at least
one unnamed cryptoasset.
The police claim that the man incurred losses of over USD 180,000 in a crypto
investment.
根据 Hanguk Kyungjae 和 Money S 的报导,该名男子生前告诉了他的父母,他因投资了
几个未知的加密货币资产失败而使得他承受了精神上的痛苦。
警方称,该男子在一项加密投资中亏损了超过180,000美元。
A large number of tokens have been delisted from South Korea’s biggest
trading platforms in recent months as crypto exchanges begin to show evidence
of “self-regulation” – with deposit caps also imposed.
"Korean traders seem to be active at all hours of the day, indicating that
trading may be an all-consuming activity for many of them," according to a
recent report.
However, for many, the news will be an unwelcome reminder of the start of the
crypto winter in 2018, when dropping crypto prices and the decline of the
initial coin offering (ICO) movement sent South Korean investors into a funk,
with a number of crypto-related suicides reported. Most of the cases reported
back in 2018, worryingly, were also young men in their twenties.
近几个月来,随着加密货币交易所开始自我监管的迹象,大量的代币已从韩国几个主流的
交易平台一一下架,此外这些平台还规定了每位用户存款上限。
根据最近的一份报告,位于韩国的加密货币交易用户近期都很活跃,然而,对于许多人来
说,这个(交易所自我监管)的消息将会使得加密货币的价格大跌。
在 2018 年,加密货币行情迎来了第一个冬季,许多的位于韩国的ICO投资者都陷入恐慌,
并且当时在韩国也出现许多与加密货币相关的自杀事件。
令人担忧的是,2018 年的大多数案例也几乎都是 20 多岁的年轻人。
The so-called “2030” demographic – South Korean people in their twenties
and thirties – has embraced crypto like never before in the recent bull
market, and the majority of investors are thought to be male.
This is the group that has been most incensed by recent talk from government
and regulators about further regulating the crypto industry – with many
complaining in online forums that crypto has become their only money-making
option. Many claim that with the stock market sluggish, real estate prices
spiraling, and youth unemployment on the rise, crypto represents their only
escape.
在韩国,有个称呼叫做 "20至30岁的人口",意思指20多岁至30多岁的韩国人(大多为
男性),在近期的加密货币牛市中踊跃的交易这些产品。
这也是最近政府和监管机构提出要求进一步监管加密行业的政策中,最感到愤怒的群体
有许多人在网络上抱怨加密货币已成为他们唯一的赚钱方法与选择,随着股市低迷、房地
产价格大幅飙升以及青年的失业率上升,加密货币是他们这辈子中唯一能够翻身的机会。
The government and regulators, meanwhile, appear to have worked themselves
into a tangle with their own approach to regulating the sector.
与此同时,政府和监管机构目前也尚未正式定出详细的监管方针。
Police advised people suffering from investment-related stress to call a
dedicated helpline.
警方建议,如果面对投资相关压力的人们,可以拨打防自杀帮助热线以获得帮助。
评论:
说真的从韩国当地交易所到先前贪婪恐慌指数跌到20几的时候
还有着一定量的泡菜溢价
就可以得知韩国当地对于加密货币交易这件事情一直都是相当热络的
尤其是在今年史无前例的牛市的情况
但这也使得韩国的社会上出现了一些这方面(投资失利)的问题
