根据周一公开的法庭文件，一名FBI探员从该机构监控的账户中窃取了超过90万美元的加密货币，原因是他称自己对政府在加密账户滥用问题上的不作为感到沮丧。
根据针对雅罗奇案件的宣誓书，这名探员帕特里克·史蒂文·雅罗奇在加入FBI国家安全调查小组期间，曾负责调查一个“敌对国家”相关案件，并在“无法进一步破坏”一名身份不明人员使用加密账户的行为后感到“沮丧”。据称，他随后利用内部权限将这些加密货币转移到了自己的个人账户。
FBI已将雅罗奇解雇，他已于上周被捕。刑事起诉书列出了针对他的跨州运输赃物以及收受赃物的指控。
法庭记录中未列出雅罗奇的辩护律师。CNN已通过与雅罗奇相关的电子邮箱联系，寻求置评。
FBI收集了大量据称被俄罗斯、中国等国犯罪组织和国家行为体使用的加密账户情报。但如何以及何时对这些账户采取行动——是扣押还是利用它们收集更多情报——通常需根据具体情况决定。
这份宣誓书还反映了人工智能和加密货币如何改变刑事调查方式。
据称在被捕前一个月，雅罗奇曾向ChatGPT提问：“如果你有一桶钱（约100万美元），想要离开美国并成为欧盟国家的居民或公民，你会怎么做？”
根据宣誓书，ChatGPT针对雅罗奇的年龄和生活方式给出了回应。
据报道，这个人工智能助手说道：“现年37岁，育有年幼子女，目标可能在40岁左右退休，并且有意最终在奇伦托或葡萄牙的杜奥地区等地方过上慢节奏的葡萄园/农业生活……”
“FBI得知这些指控后，立即采取行动展开调查，并最终于上周对该个人执行了逮捕令，”FBI发言人告诉CNN。“我们对员工秉持最高的道德标准，这种行为在FBI是绝对不可容忍的。我们正在事后开展全面调查，由于此事仍在进行中，我们不会进一步置评。”
宣誓书还包含了FBI从对雅罗奇以及其在FBI波士顿分局的前同事的访谈中收集到的情感细节，雅罗奇曾向该同事倾诉。
根据宣誓书，上月探员在雅罗奇家中对其进行讯问时，他说道：“我搞砸了。”
FBI agent accused of stealing nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency

An FBI agent stole more than $900,000 in cryptocurrency from accounts the agency was monitoring after he said he became frustrated by what he saw as government inaction over the misuse of crypto accounts, according to court records made public on Monday.
The agent, Patrick Steven Yaroch, came across the crypto holdings while a member of the FBI’s national security investigative squad focused on an “adversarial nation” and grew “frustrated when he could not do more to disrupt” an unnamed person’s use of the crypto accounts, according to an affidavit in Yaroch’s case. Using his internal agency access, he later allegedly transferred the crypto holdings to his personal account.
The FBI fired Yaroch, and he was arrested last week. A criminal complaint lists charges against him related to the interstate transport of stolen goods and the receipt of stolen goods.
An attorney for Yaroch was not listed in court records. CNN has contacted an email associated with Yaroch for comment.
The FBI gathers a slew of intelligence on cryptocurrency accounts allegedly used by criminal and state actors in Russia, China and elsewhere. But when and how to act on those accounts – whether to seize them or use them to collect more intelligence – is often decided on a case-by-case basis.
The affidavit also reflects how artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies are changing criminal investigations.
The month before his arrest, Yaroch allegedly asked ChatGPT: “If you had a bucket of money (around $1 million) and you wanted to leave the USA and become a resident or citizen of an EU country, what would you do?”
ChatGPT responded, according to the affidavit, with an answer catered to Yaroch’s age and lifestyle.
“At 37, with a young family, a goal of potentially retiring around 40, and a clear interest in eventually building a slower-living vineyard/agricultural lifestyle in places like Cilento or Portugal’s Dão region…” the AI agent reportedly said.
“As soon as the FBI became aware of these allegations, we immediately took action, began an investigation, and ultimately executed an arrest warrant for this individual last week,” an FBI spokesperson told CNN. “We hold our employees to the highest ethical standards, and this conduct is not tolerated at the FBI. We are conducting a thorough investigation in the aftermath, and as this is an ongoing matter, we will have no further comment.”
The affidavit includes emotional details the FBI says were gathered from interviews with Yaroch and a former colleague from the FBI’s Boston Division in which Yaroch confided.
“I f—d up,” Yaroch told FBI agents when they interviewed him at his house last month, according to the affidavit.
