Bankman-Fried's Cooperation Sought in $1.3 Million FTX Civil Lawsuit

Bankman-Fried 在 130 萬美元的 FTX 民事訴訟中尋求合作

New York, NY - April 20, 2024 - A proposed settlement in the ongoing civil lawsuit against FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried and various celebrity promoters offers a glimmer of relief for the disgraced founder. Under the terms of the agreement, Bankman-Fried would provide extensive cooperation to plaintiffs' attorneys in exchange for the dismissal of existing and potential future claims against him.

紐約州紐約- 2024 年4 月20 日- 針對FTX 聯合創始人Sam Bankman-Fried 和多位名人發起人的正在進行的民事訴訟中提出的和解方案，為這位名譽掃地的創始人帶來了一線曙光。根據協議條款，班克曼-弗里德將向原告律師提供廣泛的合作，以換取駁回針對他的現有和未來潛在的索賠。

The civil lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of Florida, consolidates multiple lawsuits against FTX promoters and insiders. Among the defendants are high-profile celebrities such as former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal, former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, and supermodel Gisele Bundchen. Plaintiffs allege that these celebrities openly promoted FTX, enticing countless individuals to invest in the now-defunct exchange.

這起民事訴訟在佛羅裡達州南區提起，合併了針對 FTX 發起人和內部人士的多起訴訟。被告包括前 NBA 球星沙奎爾·奧尼爾、前 NFL 四分衛湯姆·布雷迪和超模吉賽爾·邦辰等知名名人。原告聲稱，這些名人公開宣傳 FTX，吸引無數個人投資這個現已不存在的交易所。

To secure the settlement, Bankman-Fried must furnish plaintiffs with detailed information about FTX-related entities, venture capital firms invested in the exchange, and the accountants and attorneys involved in the company's operations. Additionally, he must provide nonprivileged documents outlining his investments in the AI company Anthropic and an affidavit confirming his negative net worth.

為了確保和解，Bankman-Fried 必須向原告提供有關 FTX 相關實體、投資該交易所的風險投資公司以及參與公司運營的會計師和律師的詳細資訊。此外，他還必須提供非特權文件，概述他對人工智慧公司 Anthropic 的投資，以及一份確認其負淨資產的宣誓書。

In return for Bankman-Fried's cooperation, plaintiffs have agreed to drop their claims against him. However, some acknowledge that this shift in focus could introduce uncertainty regarding the outcome of the case. The final decision on whether to approve the settlement rests with the presiding judge.

作為對班克曼-弗里德合作的回報，原告同意放棄對他的索賠。然而，有些人承認，這種焦點的轉變可能會為案件結果帶來不確定性。是否批准和解的最終決定權由主審法官決定。

Meanwhile, Bankman-Fried continues to appeal his 25-year prison sentence for criminal charges related to FTX's collapse. The civil lawsuit is separate from the criminal case and represents a significant effort to hold Bankman-Fried accountable for his alleged role in the exchange's downfall.

與此同時，Bankman-Fried 繼續對與 FTX 倒閉相關的刑事指控而被判處 25 年徒刑提出上訴。這起民事訴訟與刑事案件是分開的，是為了追究班克曼-弗里德在交易所垮台中所扮演的角色的重大責任。

Regulators Under Scrutiny

Conclusion

結論

The proposed settlement in the FTX civil lawsuit represents a significant development in the aftermath of the exchange's collapse.

The ongoing civil lawsuit and the senators' scrutiny of the CFTC highlight the ongoing efforts to hold accountable those responsible for the devastating losses suffered by FTX investors.
