内容总结：

美国西雅图地区零售软件公司Fabric前首席财务官尼文·谢蒂因涉嫌挪用公司3500万美元资金进行电汇欺诈，于周四在西雅图联邦法院被判处两年监禁。42岁的谢蒂去年11月经九天陪审团审判，四项电汇欺诈罪名成立。

庭审记录显示，法官塔娜·林在宣判时指出，谢蒂的行为导致公司60名员工失业，公司经营几近瘫痪。检方曾寻求判处其九年监禁，助理检察官菲利普·科普琴斯基在量刑备忘录中指控其"受贪婪驱使，历时数月精心策划欺诈行为"。

除监禁外，谢蒂还需支付3500.01万美元赔偿金，刑满后接受三年监督释放。法官特别规定其未经许可不得担任企业高管职务。

案情显示，谢蒂于2021年3月加入Fabric担任CFO。2022年初，他未经授权将公司资金转入其个人加密货币业务HighTower Treasury，违反其亲自参与制定的低风险投资政策，将资金投入承诺20%回报的高风险去中心化金融平台。其计划仅向公司支付6%利息并私吞剩余利润，但相关投资于2022年5月崩盘，导致3500万美元几乎损失殆尽。

谢蒂在向同事坦白后被解雇，公司随即向联邦调查局报案。他于2023年5月正式被起诉。

西雅图地区零售软件公司Fabric前首席财务官因电汇欺诈案，于周四在西雅图联邦地区法院被判处两年监禁。其欺诈行为涉及挪用前雇主3500万美元资金。

现年42岁、来自华盛顿州默瑟岛的尼文·谢蒂，在去年十一月历经九日陪审团审判后，被裁定犯有四项电汇欺诈罪。

"这笔损失对公司造成了重大且严重的影响。"谭雅·林法官在量刑听证会上对谢蒂表示，并指出其行为导致60名员工失业，"你几乎让公司濒临倒闭……你一直在玩弄不属于自己的资金。"

根据周四庭审前提交的量刑备忘录，华盛顿西区联邦检察官办公室曾寻求判处谢蒂九年监禁。助理联邦检察官菲利普·科普琴斯基在向法院提交的文件中写道："谢蒂的严重罪行应当受到严厉惩处"，称其行为是"受贪婪驱使、历时数月精心策划的阴谋"。

谢蒂被责令支付3500.01万美元赔偿金，刑满释放后还将接受三年监管。林法官还附加了一项特别限制：未经缓刑办公室事先许可，不得担任公司高管或董事职务。

谢蒂于2021年3月加入Fabric担任首席财务官。当时由多位前亚马逊高管领导的该公司刚获得4300万美元新一轮融资，谢蒂协助制定了资金使用政策，规定在公司业务拓展期间应进行保守投资。四个月后，Fabric再获1亿美元融资，并于2022年2月完成1.4亿美元C轮融资，估值达到15亿美元。

检方指出，谢蒂在2022年初未经授权将资金转移至其个人加密货币企业HighTower Treasury。尽管他协助制定了公司限制投资低风险账户的政策，却秘密将资金投入承诺20%回报的高收益去中心化金融平台。

据记录显示，谢蒂计划向雇主支付6%利息，并通过HighTower截留剩余利润。首月他与合伙人获利约13.3万美元，但到2022年5月，加密货币投资崩盘，导致近3500万美元资金几乎损失殆尽。

向同事坦白后，谢蒂遭公司解雇，其侵吞行为亦被上报至美国联邦调查局。2023年5月，谢蒂正式被提起刑事诉讼。

The former chief financial officer for Seattle-area retail software company Fabric was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Seattle Thursday to two years in prison for a wire fraud scheme that involved the misuse of $35 million from his former employer.
Nevin Shetty, 42, of Mercer Island, Wash., was found guilty last November, after a nine-day jury trial, of four counts of wire fraud.
“The loss had significant and severe effects on the company,” Judge Tana Lin told Shetty at the sentencing hearing, saying that his actions cost the jobs of 60 people. “You almost put the company out of business. … You were playing with money that wasn’t yours.”
The United States Attorney’s office for the Western District of Washington was seeking a nine-year sentence, according to a sentencing memorandum ahead of Thursday’s court action.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Philip Kopczynski wrote to the court that “Shetty’s serious crime deserves stern punishment,” calling it “a calculated scheme motivated by greed and meticulously carried out over many months.”
Shetty was ordered to pay $35,000,100 and will be on supervised release for three years after prison. Judge Lin also imposed a special condition that he not serve as an officer or director of a company without prior permission from the probation office.
Shetty joined Fabric as CFO in March 2021. The company, led at the time by several former Amazon executives, had just raised $43 million in new funding, and Shetty helped draft a policy governing how the money raised should be invested conservatively while the company worked to grow its business. Four months later, Fabric raised another $100 million and in February 2022 raised a $140 million Series C round to reach a valuation of $1.5 billion.
Prosecutors said Shetty diverted funds in early 2022 to his own cryptocurrency business, HighTower Treasury, without authorization. Although he helped create the company’s policy limiting investments to low-risk accounts, he secretly moved the money into high-yield decentralized finance platforms that promised 20% returns.
According to records, Shetty’s plan was to pay his employer 6% interest and keep the rest of the profits through HighTower. In the first month, he and a partner made about $133,000, but by May 2022, the crypto investments had collapsed, wiping out nearly all $35 million.
After confessing to colleagues, Shetty was fired and the company reported the theft to the FBI.
Shetty was indicted in May 2023.
