BlockBeats 消息，5 月 13 日，据 Cointelegraph 报道，美国政府已要求联邦法官对 Eric Council Jr. 判处两年监禁。Eric Council Jr. 是帮助发布虚假信息的人，该信息即通过美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的 X 账户宣布比特币现货 ETF 获得批准。
在 5 月 12 日提交给哥伦比亚特区美国地方法院的文件中，检察官建议法官对 Council 判处两年监禁，因他在社交媒体平台 X 上发布虚假消息，称 SEC 已于 2024 年 1 月首次批准现货比特币 ETF。该虚假声明在 SEC 实际批准现货比特币 ETF 前的约 24 小时内震动了市场，最终导致 Council 被逮捕。
