Founder of U.S. AI edtech startup charged with defrauding investors

美国联邦检察官指控人工智能初创公司AllHere Education的创始人诈骗投资者近1,000万美元,这是最新的例子,显示了有关部门对可能在起步阶段虚报数据的年轻科技公司采取更强硬的立场。周二在曼哈顿联邦法院公布的起诉书指控Joanna Smith-Griffin犯有证券欺诈、电信欺诈和严重身份盗窃罪,指控她诈骗投资者数百万美元。她于周二早间在北卡罗来纳州被捕。检察官称,33岁的Smith-Griffin虚报了AllHere的收入、签约客户数量和现金余额。检察官说,基于这些信息,她得以从投资者那里筹集了近1,000万美元,后来用其中一部分现金支付了她在北卡罗来纳州房屋的首付,并支付了婚礼费用。今年8月,AllHere根据美国《破产法》第七章申请破产。据检察官称,该公司员工已被解雇。Smith-Griffin可能面临漫长的监禁,证券欺诈和电信欺诈罪均可判处最高20年监禁。
