谁是Trevor Milton?
Trevor Milton, the founder and former CEO of Nikola Corporation, was sentenced to four years in prison for fraud. He was convicted in 2022 for misleading investors about Nikola''''''''s technology and business capabilities. Key Points of the Case: False Claims About Nikola’s Technology – Milton exaggerated the company’s progress, falsely claiming they had fully functional hydrogen-powered trucks when, in reality, some were non-operational prototypes. Deceptive Marketing – A promotional video showed a Nikola truck moving, but it was actually rolling downhill rather than being powered by its own technology. Investor Fraud – Milton misled retail investors and institutional backers, inflating Nikola’s stock price based on false claims. Legal Consequences – He was convicted of securities fraud and wire fraud in 2022 and sentenced in 2024. His case is often compared to Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) as another example of startup fraud in the electric vehicle and tech industry.

2016年,Nikola发布了一段展示其氢燃料电池卡车Nikola One“行驶”的宣传视频。然而,后续调查发现,该卡车并未配备实际的动力系统。视频拍摄时,Nikola将无动力的卡车拖至一处山坡顶部,依靠重力使其沿坡道滑行,并通过调整摄像机角度和剪辑技巧,使卡车看起来像是在自主行驶。这一操作被做空机构Hindenburg Research于2020年曝光,并成为Milton欺诈指控的关键证据
