From at least in or about 2018 up to and including at least in or about March 2023, in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere, Y ANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant, and others known and unknown, willfully and knowingly combined, conspired, confederated, and agreed together and with each other to commit offenses against the United States, to wit, (1) wire fraud , in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343; and (2) securities fraud , in violation of Title 15, United States Code, Sections 78j(b) & 78ff, and Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 240.1 0b-5.\n\n2. It was a part and an object of the conspiracy that Y ANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant, and others known and unknown, knowingly having devised and intending to devise a scheme and artifice to defraud, and for obtaining money and property by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises, would and did transmit and cause to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, and television communication in interstate and foreign commerce, writings, signs, signals, pictures, and sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme and artifice, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343, to wit, WANG conspired with others to obtain victims' money through the use of materially false information and misrepresentations transmitted over interstate wires, in connection with the unregistered offering of common stock of GTV Media Group, Inc. (\"GTV\") via a private placement (the \"GTV Private Placement).\n\n3. It was further a part and an object of the conspiracy that YANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant, and others known and unknown, willfully and knowingly, directly and indirectly, by use of a means and instrumentality of interstate commerce and of the mails, and of a facility of a national securities exchange, used and employed, in connection with the purchase and sale of a security registered on a national securities exchange and any security not so registered, a manipulative and deceptive device and contrivance, in violation of Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 240.!0b-5, by (a) employing a device, scheme and artifice to defraud; (b) making an untrue statement of material fact and omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statement made, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading; and ( c) engaging in an act, practice and course of business which operated and would operate as a fraud and deceit upon a person, to wit, WANG conspired with others to fraudulentl y induce investors to participate in the GTV Private Placement by providing materially false and misleading information and representations in connection with purported shares of GTV's common stock.\n\n4. In furtherance of the conspiracy and to effect its illegal objects, Y ANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant, and others known and unknown, committed the following overt act, among others, in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere:\n\na. On or about June 5, 2020, WANG, while located in the Southern District of New York, authorized a wire transfer of \\$100 million of fraud proceeds to a particular hedge fund.\n\n(Title 18, United States Code, Section 371.)\n\n# **COUNT TWO (Wire Fraud)**\n\n5. From at least in or about April 2020 up to and including at least in or about March 2021, in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere, YANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant, knowingly having devised and intending to devise a scheme and artifice to defraud, and for obtaining money and property by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises, transmitted and caused to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, and television communication in interstate and foreign commerce, writings, signs, signals, pictures, and sounds, for the purpose of executing such scheme and artifice, to wit, WANG conducted the GTV Private Placement to sell GTV stock and fraudulently obtain money from victims through false statements and misrepresentations, which scheme was furthered through electronic communications and monetary transfers to and from the Southern District of New York and elsewhere.\n\n(Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1343 and 2.)\n\n### **COUNT THREE (Securities Fraud)**\n\n6. From at least in or about April 2020 up to and including at least in or about March 2021, in the Southern District of New York, and elsewhere, Y ANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant, willfully and knowingly, directly and indirectly, by use of a means and instrumentality of interstate commerce and of the mails, and of a facility of a national securities exchange, used and employed, in connection with the purchase and sale of a security registered on a national securities exchange and any security not so registered, a manipulative and deceptive device and contrivance, in violation of Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 240.1 0b-5, by (a) employing a device, scheme and artifice to defraud; (b) making an untrue statement of material fact and omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statement made, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading; and (c) engaging in an act, practice and course of business which operated and would operate as a fraud and deceit upon a person, to wit, WANG conducted the GTV Private Placement to sell GTV stock and fraudulently obtain money from victims through false statements and misrepresentations, which scheme was furthered through electronic communications and monetary transfers to and from the Southern District of New York and elsewhere.\n\n(Title 15, United States Code, Sections 78j(b) & 78ff; Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 240.1 0b-5; and Title 18, United States Code, Section 2.)\n\n#### **COUNT FOUR (Unlawful Monetary Transaction)**\n\n7. On or about June 5, 2020, Y ANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant, in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere, within the United States, knowingly engaged and attempted to engage in a monetary transaction, as defined in Title 18, United States Code, Section 1957(f)(l ), in criminally derived property of a value greater than \\$10,000 that was derived from specified unlawful activity, to wit, WANG, while located in the Southern District of New York, authorized a wire transfer of \\$100 million of fraud proceeds to a particular hedge fund.\n\n(Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1957 and 2.)\n\nThe bases for my knowledge and for the foregoing charges are, in part, as follows:\n\n8. I am a Special Agent with the FBI and I have been personally involved in the investigation of this matter. This affidavit is based upon my personal participation in the investigation of this matter, and my conversations with law enforcement officers, law enforcement employees, and witnesses, as well as a review of documents. Because this affidavit is being submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause, it does not include all the facts that I have learned during the course of my investigation. Where the actions, statements, and conversations of others are reported herein, they are reported in substance and in part, except where otherwise indicated.\n\n### Overview\n\n9. Based on my involvement in this investigation, my review of documents, conversations with witnesses, and other law enforcement officers, I have learned the following, in substance and in part:\n\na. Between in or about April 2020 and in or about June 2020, Y ANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant, and others known and unknown, fraudulently obtained approximately \\$452 million in victim funds through an illegal private stock offering related to GTV. WANG was an Executive Director of GTV and was one of the key individuals responsible for transferring the money raised from the GTV Private Placement. Rather than investing the funds raised through the GTV Private Placement as the defendant, and others, had promised to victim-investors, WANG, and others known and unknown, misappropriated approximately \\$100,000,000 into a high-risk hedge fund for the ultimate benefit of a close family relative of one of WANG's co-conspirators. WANG well knew that funds from the GTV Private Placement could not be used to invest in a high-risk hedge fund. Indeed, when WANG sought to open a bank account comprised of funds raised from the GTV Private Placement, WANG stated to a bank, in part, that such \"funds of GTV Media Group [ ] are strickly [sic] for operational purposes and acquisitions.\"\n\n## The GTV Private Placement\n\n10. Based on my review of documents, videos, conversations with witnesses, and other law enforcement officers, I have learned the following, in substance and in part:\n\na. On or about April 21, 2020, a co-conspirator not named herein (\"CC-1 \") <sup>1</sup> posted, and caused to be posted, a video on social media (the \"Video\") announcing the unregistered offering of GTV common stock via a private placement (the \"GTV Private Placement\"). CC-1 has a substantial online following, and the Video was viewed by thousands of individuals.\n\nb. Based on my review of the Video, I have learned that, in the Video, CC-1 described, in substance and in part, the investment terms for the GTV Private Placement and directed people to contact CC-1, via a mobile messaging application, with any questions about the GTV Private Placement. The Video and GTV Private Placement materials-including the written \"Confidential Information Memorandum\" (the \"PPM\"), Subscription Agreement, and Investment Procedure Guidelines-were transmitted to thousands of potential investors, including those in the Southern District of New York, via mobile messaging applications, social media, and text messages.\n\nc. Based on my review of the PPM, I have learned that the PPM promoted GTV as the \"first ever platform which will combine the power of citizen journalism and social news with state-of-the-art technology, big data, artificial intelligence, block-chain technology and\n\n<sup>1</sup>CC- I has been charged in eleven counts in an Indictment filed in this District with conspiring to commit wire fraud, securities fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering; and committing wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering in connection with, among other conduct, the GTV Private Placement discussed herein.\n\nreal-time interactive communication.\" The PPM also contained the following representations, in substance and in part, among others:\n\n1. The GTV Private Placement was for investors who were \" interested in evaluating an opportunity to invest capital into GTV\";\n\nii. GTV planned to use the proceeds raised from the GTV Private Placement \"to expand and strengthen the business;\" and\n\n111. The PPM included a chart itemizing the \"contemplated use of proceeds\" raised from the GTV Private Placement:\n\n| Acquisition of companies to strengthen and grow<br>GTV | Approximate 70% |\n|--------------------------------------------------------|-----------------|\n| Upgrade of GTV technology and security                 | Approximate 10% |\n| Marketing                                              | Approximate 8%  |\n| Working capital                                        | Approximate 7%  |\n| Other                                                  | Approximate 5%  |\n| Total                                                  | 100%            |\n\nd. The PPM identified three \"Executive Directors\" of GTV. The first Executive Director identified was \"Yvette Y. Wang\"- *i.e.,* Y ANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant. The PPM described WANG as \"experienced in management, financial investment and merger and acquisition\" and \"instrumental in building Saraca's media business.\" 2 Elsewhere in the PPM, WANG was described as \"key personnel\" for GTV. The PPM further stated, in part, that GTV's \"success depends in part upon the continued services of [its] key executive officers, including Yvette Wang\" and two other particular individuals, including another coconspirator not named herein (\"CC-2\").\n\ne. Based on conversations with witnesses who previously worked for CC-1 , I have learned, in substance and in part, that WANG has had a close personal relationship with CC-1. In particular, WANG has worked for CC-1 and CC-1 's family for several years, since at least in or about 2018. Indeed, based on documents I have reviewed, I have learned that WANG is the President, Treasurer, and Secretary of an entity that manages CC-1 's purportedly vast personal wealth.\n\n<sup>2 &</sup>quot;Saraca\" refers to \"Saraca Media Group,\" which is identified in the PPM as GTV's parent company.\n\n#### WANG Received and Transferred Fraud Proceeds\n\n11. Based on my review of videos and documents, including bank records and subpoena returns, my conversations with witnesses and other law enforcement officers, opensource research on the Internet, and my participation in this investigation, I have learned the following, in substance and in part:\n\na. On or about July 24, 2018, Y ANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant, opened a particular bank account in the name of Saraca (\"Account-5601 \"). Account opening documents for Account-5601 , which I have reviewed, identify WANG as \"Acting Secretary\" for Saraca. On or about May 21 , 2020, WANG signed an additional business signature card for Account-5601 , in which WANG identified herself as \"President\" of Saraca. As of at least that date, Account-5601 was held in the name of \"Saraca Media Group OBA Himalaya Dollar.\" There are no other authorized signatories on Account-5601 .\n\nb. On or about July 24, 2018, WANG opened another particular bank account in the name of \"Saraca Media Group Inc.\" (\"Account-2038\"). Account opening documents for Account-203 8 identity WANG as \"Acting Secretary\" for Saraca. On or about May 21 , 2020, WANG signed an additional business signature card for Account-2038 and identified herself as \"President.\" As of at least that date, Account-2038 was held in the name of \"Saraca Media Group OBA Himalaya Dollar.\" On or about June 3, 2020, WANG signed an additional business signature card for Account-2038 and, again, identified herself as \"President\" of Saraca. There are no other authorized signatories on Account-2038. 3\n\nc. Both Account-5601 and Account-2038 are held by a particular bank, which is headquartered int Manhattan (\"Bank-I \").\n\nd. Between on or about April 20, 2020, and on or about June 2, 2020, approximately \\$452 million worth ofGTV common stock was purportedly sold to more than 5,500 investors located in the United States, including in the Southern District of New York, and abroad. Investors participated in the GTV Private Placement based, in part, on the belief that their money would be invested into GTV to develop and grow that business, as the PPM promised.\n\ne. In or about April 2020, Account-5601 received approximately 291 deposits and transfers totaling approximately \\$32,543,000. Most of these deposits and transfers were investments made by individuals seeking to participate in the GTV Private Placement. The transfers appear to be from individuals located throughout the world, and many deposits and transfers bear reference or memo information referring to the GTV Private Placement. For example, memo lines state, among other things, in substance and in part: \"Gtv Investment,\" \"Stock Subscription,\" \"Investment,\" \"G- Tv Common Stock Subscription,\" \"InvestmeNt [sic],\" \"Investment To G- Tv [sic],\" and \"Gtv Stockpurchase.\" On or about April 30, 2020, the balance of Account-5601 was approximately \\$32,474,000.\n\nf. In or about May 2020, Account-5601 received approximately 2,450 deposits and transfers totaling approximately \\$291 ,899,000. Most of these deposits and transfers\n\n<sup>3</sup> Based on bank records, CC-2 appears to have an online banking account with access to Account-5601 and Account-2038.\n\nwere investments made by individuals seeking to participate in the GTV Private Placement. Like the prior month's deposits and transfers, the transfers in or about May 2020 appear to be from individuals located throughout the world, and many bear reference or memo information referring to the GTV Private Placement. For example, memo lines state, among other things, in substance and in part: \"Capital Injection Infusion,\" \"To Inv es Stment [sic],\" \"Private Placement Investment,\" \"Gtv Media Investment,\" \"Gtv Inv,\" and \"Additional Stock Purchase.\" On or about May 29, 2020, the balance of Account-560 I was approximately \\$313,213 ,000.\n\n# The Misappropriation\n\n12. Based on my review of documents, conversations with witnesses, and other law enforcement officers, I have learned the following, in substance and in part:\n\na. On or about June 3, 2020, Y ANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant, signed a \"Subscription Agreement\" in her capacity as \"President\" of Saraca. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Saraca agreed to invest \\$ I 00,000,000 into a high-risk hedge fund (\"Fund-I\"). In the Subscription Agreement, WANG identified Account-5601 as the bank account from which Saraca's capital contribution would be wired. WANG further identified herself as the only \"Authorized Signatory\" of Account-5601. In or about the morning of June 3, 2020, an employee of the Fund-I investment manager confirmed receipt of the signed subscription documents.\n\nb. Also, on or about June 3, 2020, \\$100,000,000 was transferred from Account-5601 to Account-2038 . Prior to the transfer, the balance of Account-2038 was \\$0. Based on bank records, this \\$ I 00,000,000 transfer was conducted on line by the user \"yvettewang2018,\" which is WANG's Bank-I online banking user ID. While authorizing that transfer, WANG was logged into WANG's Bank-I online account from an IP address that geolocates to Manhattan.\n\nc. On or about June 5, 2020, WANG authorized a \\$100,000,000 wire transfer from Account-20384 to a bank account associated with Fund-1. This \\$100,000,000 transfer to a Fund-I bank account consisted of proceeds from investors in the GTV Private Placement. As described above, the PPM did not contemplate using investor funds to invest into a high-risk hedge fund. The PPM also did not contemplate using investor funds for the benefit of companies other than GTY, including Saraca, whose ultimate beneficial owner is a close relative of CC-1.\n\n# WANG Transfers Additional Fraud Proceeds to Other Bank Accounts\n\n13. Based on my review of documents and videos, my conversations with witnesses and other law enforcement officers, and my participation in this investigation, I have learned the following, in substance and in part:\n\na. On or about May 20, 2020, Y ANPING WANG, a/k/a \"Yvette,\" the defendant, and CC-2 opened an account in the name of GTV (\"Account-6691 \"). Account-6691 was opened at a particular FDIC-insured bank (\"Bank-2\"). WANG and CC-2 were the only\n\n<sup>4</sup> Although the Subscription Agreement identified Account-5601 as the source of the capital contribution, the transfer originated from Account-2038.\n\nauthorized signatories for Account-6691. In account opening documents, WANG was identified as \"Director\" of GTV. The account opening documents further stated that the intended balance of Account-6691 would be between \\$25,000 to \\$50,000.\n\nb. On or about June 3, 2020, Account-5601 transferred \\$200,000,000 to Account-6691. The reference line for this transfer read, in part, \"Gtv Private Placement.\" Just prior to this transfer Account-6691 's balance was \\$0.\n\nc. On or about June 9, 2020, Account-2038 transferred \\$38,000,000 to Account-6691. That \\$38,000,000 was made up of investor funds from the GTV Private Placement first sent to Account-5601 and another particular Bank-I account, which were then transferred, from on or about June 3, 2020 through on or about June 9, 2020, to Account-2038. Thus, as of on or about June 10, 2020, the full \\$237,999,970 5 in Account-6691 was compromised of proceeds from the GTV Private Placement.\n\nd. On or about June 9, 2020, approximately \\$30,906 was wired from Account-5601 to a bank account in the name of \"Yanping Wang.\" The reference line for this wire transfer stated, in part, \"Director Fee.\"\n\ne. Starting in or about June 2020, domestic banks that held accounts used to process the funds raised through the GTV Private Placement began to freeze and close GTVassociated bank accounts (including bank accounts held in the name of Saraca) because, among other reasons, the accounts had received dozens of large incoming wire transfers, some of which referenced the unregistered GTV Private Placement. Banks closings were also due to concerns about money movements to and from QTY-associated and Saraca-associated accounts, which raised questions about the propriety of the incoming transfers.\n\nf. On or about July 10, 2020, Bank-2 closed Account-6691 and provided the account holders, including WANG, one check in the amount of \\$137,999,970 (\"Check-I\") and a second check in the amount of \\$100,000,000 (\"Check-2\").\n\ng. In or about July 2020, WANG and others known and unknown attempted to open a bank account in the name of GTV at a particular bank (\"Bank-3\"). In connection with that attempt, on or about July 20, 2020, WANG signed an \"Enhanced Diligence Request\" which contained information about the purpose for which the Bank-3 account would be used. WANG signed the \"Enhanced Diligence Request\" in her capacity as \"Director\" of GTV.\n\nh. In the \"Enhanced Diligence Request,\" WANG stated, in substance and in part, that the initial deposit into the account would \"be approximately \\$138 million that was raised from private placement in the form of a cashiers check.\" According to WANG, \"Saraca Media Group was the recipient of [GTV] Private Placement funds on behalf of GTV (guided by [law firm] in [Bank-I).

GTV 私募针对的是「有兴趣评估向 GTV 投资资本的机会」的投资者；\n\nii. GTV 计划将 GTV 私募筹集的收益「用于扩大和加强业务」；以及\n\niii. PPM 包含一份图表，逐项列出了 GTV 私募所筹集收益的「预期收益用途」：\n\n收购公司以加强和发展 GTV 约 70%\n\n升级 GTV 技术和安全 约 10%\n市场营销 约 8%\n营运资金 约 7%\n其他 约 5%\n总计 100%\n\nd. 私募备忘录（PPM）列出了 GTV 的三名「执行董事」。列出的第一位执行董事是「Yvette Y. Wang」——即被告 YANPING WANG（王雁平），又名「Yvette」。PPM 将王描述为「在管理、金融投资以及并购方面经验丰富」，且「在建立 Saraca 的媒体业务中发挥了重要作用」。2 在 PPM 的其他地方，王被描述为 GTV 的「关键人员」。PPM 还进一步说明，在一定程度上，GTV 的「成功部分取决于［其］关键行政管理人员的持续服务，包括 Yvette Wang」以及另外两名特定个人，包括本文件中未具名的另一名共谋者（「CC-2」）。\n\ne. 根据与曾为 CC-1 工作的证人的交谈，我已实质性且部分地了解到，王与 CC-1 有着密切的个人关系。特别是，王为 CC-1 及其家族工作了数年，至少自 2018 年左右起。事实上，根据我审查过的文件，我了解到王是一家管理 CC-1 据称庞大的个人财富的实体的总裁、财务主管（Treasurer）和秘书（Secretary）。\n\n2 「Saraca」是指「Saraca Media Group（萨拉卡媒体集团）」，在 PPM 中被确定为 GTV 的母公司。\n王接收并转移诈骗收益\n\n11. 基于我对视频和文件（包括银行记录和传票回执）的审查、我与证人及其他执法人员的交谈、互联网公开来源调查，以及我参与本项调查的情况，我实质性且部分地了解到以下内容：\n\na. 2018 年 7 月 24 日左右，被告 YANPING WANG（王雁平），又名「Yvette」，以 Saraca 的名义开设了一个特定银行账户（「Account-5601」）。我审查过的 Account-5601 开户文件显示，王是 Saraca 的「代理秘书」（Acting Secretary）。2020 年 5 月 21 日左右，王为 Account-5601 签署了一份额外的商业印鉴卡，其中王表明自己是 Saraca 的「总裁」（President）。至少自该日起，Account-5601 以「Saraca Media Group OBA Himalaya Dollar」的名义持有。Account-5601 上没有其他获授权的签署人。\n\nb. 2018 年 7 月 24 日左右，王以「Saraca Media Group Inc.」的名义开设了另一个特定银行账户（「Account-2038」）。Account-2038 的开户文件表明王是 Saraca 的「代理秘书」。2020 年 5 月 21 日左右，王为 Account-2038 签署了一份额外的商业印鉴卡，并表明自己是「总裁」。至少自该日起，Account-2038 以「Saraca Media Group OBA Himalaya Dollar」的名义持有。2020 年 6 月 3 日左右，王为 Account-2038 签署了一份额外的商业印鉴卡，并再次表明自己是 Saraca 的「总裁」。Account-2038 上没有其他获授权的签署人。3\n\nc. Account-5601 和 Account-2038 均由一家总部位于 Manhattan（曼哈顿）的特定银行（「Bank-1」）持有。\n\nd. 在 2020 年 4 月 20 日左右至 2020 年 6 月 2 日左右期间，价值约 $452,000,000 的 GTV 普通股据称出售给了位于美国（包括 Southern District of New York（纽约南区））及海外的 5,500 多名投资者。投资者参与 GTV 私募（GTV Private Placement）的部分原因是相信他们的资金将按照 PPM 的承诺投资于 GTV 以发展和壮大该业务。\n\ne. 2020 年 4 月左右，Account-5601 收到约 291 笔存款和转账，总计约 $32,543,000。这些存款和转账大部分是寻求参与 GTV 私募的个人所做的投资。转账似乎来自遍布世界各地的个人，许多存款和转账都带有提及 GTV 私募的参考或附言信息。例如，附言栏实质性且部分地注明（除其他内容外）：「Gtv 投资」、「股票认购」、「投资」、「G-Tv 普通股认购」、「投资［原文如此］」、「投资给 G-Tv［原文如此］」以及「Gtv 股票购买」。2020 年 4 月 30 日左右，Account-5601 的余额约为 $32,474,000。\n\nf. 2020 年 5 月左右，Account-5601 收到约 2,450 笔存款和转账，总计约 $291,899,000。这些存款和转账\n\n3 根据银行记录，CC-2 似乎拥有一个可访问 Account-5601 和 Account-2038 的网上银行账户。\n\n大部分是寻求参与 GTV 私募的个人所做的投资。与前一个月的存款和转账一样，2020 年 5 月左右的转账似乎来自遍布世界各地的个人，许多都带有提及 GTV 私募的参考或附言信息。例如，附言栏实质性且部分地注明（除其他内容外）：「注资注入」、「给投资［原文如此］」、「私募投资」、「Gtv 媒体投资」、「Gtv 投资」以及「额外股票购买」。2020 年 5 月 29 日左右，Account-5601 的余额约为 $313,213,000。\n侵吞挪用\n\n12. 基于我对文件的审查、与证人及其他执法人员的交谈，我实质性且部分地了解到以下内容：\n\na. 2020 年 6 月 3 日左右，被告 YANPING WANG（王雁平），又名「Yvette」，以 Saraca「总裁」的身份签署了一份「认购协议」（Subscription Agreement）。根据认购协议，Saraca 同意向一家高风险对冲基金（「Fund-1」）投资 $100,000,000。在认购协议中，王将 Account-5601 指定为电汇 Saraca 出资额的银行账户。王进一步表明自己是 Account-5601 的唯一「授权签署人」。在 2020 年 6 月 3 日上午左右，Fund-1 投资管理人的一名员工确认收到了签署的认购文件。\n\nb. 同样在 2020 年 6 月 3 日左右，$100,000,000 从 Account-5601 转入 Account-2038。在转账之前，Account-2038 的余额为 $0。根据银行记录，这笔 $100,000,000 的转账是由用户「yvettewang2018」在线进行的，该用户是王在 Bank-1 的网上银行用户 ID。在授权该笔转账时，王从地理定位为曼哈顿的 IP 地址登录了王的 Bank-1 网上账户。\n\nc. 2020 年 6 月 5 日左右，王授权从 Account-2038 4 向与 Fund-1 关联的银行账户电汇 $100,000,000。这笔向 Fund-1 银行账户转账的 $100,000,000 由来自 GTV 私募投资者的收益组成。如上所述，PPM 并未考虑使用投资者资金投资于高风险对冲基金。PPM 也未考虑为了 GTV 以外的公司（包括 Saraca，其最终受益所有人是 CC-1 的近亲）的利益而使用投资者资金。\n王将更多诈骗收益转移至其他银行账户\n\n13. 基于我对文件和视频的审查、我与证人及其他执法人员的交谈，以及我参与本项调查的情况，我实质性且部分地了解到以下内容：\n\na. 2020 年 5 月 20 日左右，被告 YANPING WANG（王雁平），又名「Yvette」，与 CC-2 以 GTV 的名义开设了一个账户（「Account-6691」）。Account-6691 是在一家特定的受联邦存款保险公司（FDIC）承保的银行（「Bank-2」）开设的。王和 CC-2 是\n\n4 尽管认购协议指定 Account-5601 为出资来源，但该转账发起自 Account-2038。\n\nAccount-6691 的唯一授权签署人。在开户文件中，王被确定为 GTV 的「董事」（Director）。开户文件进一步指出，Account-6691 的预期余额将在 $25,000 至 $50,000 之间。\n\nb. 2020 年 6 月 3 日左右，Account-5601 向 Account-6691 转账 $200,000,000。该笔转账的附言栏部分内容为「Gtv 私募」。在该笔转账之前，Account-6691 的余额为 $0。\n\nc. 2020 年 6 月 9 日左右，Account-2038 向 Account-6691 转账 $38,000,000。该笔 $38,000,000 由最初发送至 Account-5601 和另一个特定 Bank-1 账户的 GTV 私募投资者资金组成，这些资金随后在 2020 年 6 月 3 日左右至 2020 年 6 月 9 日左右期间被转入 Account-2038。因此，截至 2020 年 6 月 10 日左右，Account-6691 中的全部 $237,999,970 5 均由 GTV 私募的收益构成。\n\nd. 2020 年 6 月 9 日左右，约 $30,906 从 Account-5601 电汇至名为「Yanping Wang」的银行账户。该笔电汇的附言栏部分注明为「董事费」。\n\ne. 从 2020 年 6 月左右开始，持有用于处理通过 GTV 私募筹集资金的账户的国内银行开始冻结和关闭与 GTV 关联的银行账户（包括以 Saraca 名义持有的银行账户），原因包括这些账户收到了数十笔大额汇入电汇，其中一些提及未经注册的 GTV 私募。银行关闭账户也是由于对进出与 GTV 关联和与 Saraca 关联账户的资金流动的担忧，这引发了对汇入转账妥当性的质疑。\n\nf. 2020 年 7 月 10 日左右，Bank-2 关闭了 Account-6691，并向包括王在内的账户持有人提供了一张金额为 $137,999,970 的支票（「Check-1」）和第二张金额为 $100,000,000 的支票（「Check-2」）。\n\ng. 2020 年 7 月左右，王及其他已知和未知人员试图在一家特定银行（「Bank-3」）以 GTV 的名义开设银行账户。就该尝试而言，在 2020 年 7 月 20 日左右，王签署了一份「强化尽职调查请求」（Enhanced Diligence Request），其中包含有关 Bank-3 账户用途的信息。王以 GTV「董事」的身份签署了该「强化尽职调查请求」。\n\nh. 在「强化尽职调查请求」中，王实质性且部分地声明，存入该账户的初始存款将「约为通过私募筹集的 1.38 亿美元，以本票（cashiers check）形式存入」。据王称，「Saraca Media Group 代表 GTV 接收了［GTV］私募资金（在［Bank-1］由［律师事务所］指导）。Saraca Media Group 将资金转移至 GTV（［Bank-2］）。」王进一步实质性且部分地声明，「［该］账户中的资金是 GTV Media Group 的资金，严格［原文如此］用于运营目的和收购。」因此，王完全清楚从 GTV 私募筹集的资金不能投资于为 CC-1 近亲的利益而持有的高风险对冲基金。\n\n5 Bank-3 因两笔汇入电汇从 Account-6691 中扣除了 $30。\n\n为此，我谨请求对被告 YANPING WANG（王雁平），又名「Yvette」，签发逮捕令，并将其逮捕，视情况予以羁押或保释。\n\n/签名/ Nicholas DiMarino（电话宣誓）\n\nNicholas DiMarino\n联邦调查局（Federal Bureau of Investigation）特工\n\n本刑事诉状通过可靠的电子\n\n..\n\n方式（电话）传输于 2023 年 3 月 日向我宣誓签署。:fP wJ{WJ~.-\n\nHONORABLE GABRIEL W.
