CoinDesk 倒閉：一群騙子和無能者謀殺了加密貨幣領域最值得信賴的新聞媒體

CoinDesk 為讀者和行業節省了數百萬美元，最引人注目的是幫助揭露、查獲並追究 2021-2022 年詐騙浪潮的人物，包括 Do Kwon（我個人對他有一些功勞）和 Sam Bankman -油煎。

CoinDesk, a major cryptocurrency news outlet, has fired three key newsroom leaders, prompting outrage and concern over the outlet's future.

主要的加密貨幣新聞媒體 CoinDesk 解雇了三名主要新聞編輯室負責人，引發了人們對該媒體未來的憤怒和擔憂。

According to Fortune, CoinDesk fired Nick Baker, Marc Hochstein, and Kevin Reynolds on Monday. Baker led the reporting that exposed and ultimately led to the downfall of FTX and its former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried. Hochstein oversaw the opinion and magazine section, while Reynolds was the editor in chief.

根據《財星》雜誌報道，CoinDesk 週一解雇了 Nick Baker、Marc Hochstein 和 Kevin Reynolds。 Baker 領導的報告揭露並最終導致了 FTX 及其前首席執行官 Sam Bankman-Fried 的垮台。霍赫斯坦負責評論和雜誌部分，雷諾茲擔任主編。

The firings were reportedly related to an attempt by CoinDesk and Bullish executives to misdirect attention from editorial interference. Specifically, they pulled a story about Justin Sun eating a banana, which was reportedly ordered by Bullish CEO Tom Farley. According to a letter from staff leaked to The Block, Bullish has been interfering with editorial decisions for some time, particularly by blocking the team's ability to publish op-eds.

據報道，此次解僱與 CoinDesk 和 Bullish 高層試圖誤導編輯幹擾的注意力有關。具體來說，他們提取了孫宇晨吃香蕉的故事，據報道，這是 Bullish 首席執行官湯姆·法利 (Tom Farley) 訂購的。根據洩漏給 The Block 的一封員工信，Bullish 一段時間以來一直在幹擾編輯決策，特別是阻止團隊發表專欄文章。

CoinDesk was sold to Bullish in 2023 for $75 million, and the outlet's editorial independence has been a subject of concern ever since. Bullish is a spot crypto exchange that ranks 92nd in global volume and is only able to operate because of the massive war chest raised in the 2017 Initial Coin Offering for EOS, a would-be Ethereum competitor that never meaningfully got off the ground. Both Larimer and the shell company Block.One abandoned EOS and the funds within just a few years.

CoinDesk 於 2023 年以 7,500 萬美元的價格賣給 Bullish，自那以後，該媒體的編輯獨立性一直備受關注。 Bullish 是一家現貨加密貨幣交易所，在全球交易量中排名第92 位，之所以能夠運營，是因為2017 年EOS 首次代幣發行籌集了巨額資金，而EOS 是以太坊的潛在競爭對手，但從未真正起步。 Larimer 和空殼公司 Block.One 在短短幾年內就放棄了 EOS 和基金。

Despite the SEC's decision, EOS was essentially shut down in 2021, and Block.One's executives moved on to other ventures. Meanwhile, the funds raised in the offering were used to set up Bullish, which began operating in 2024. Block.One's executives, including cofounder Brock Pierce, also joined Bullish.

儘管 SEC 做出了決定，EOS 仍於 2021 年基本關閉，Block.One 的高層也轉向了其他企業。同時，此次發行籌集的資金用於成立 Bullish，該公司於 2024 年開始營運。

Bullish is led by Farley, a former president of the New York Stock Exchange, and CFO David Bonanno. Bonanno joined Bullish from Block.One, where he was also CFO.

Bullish 由紐約證券交易所前總裁 Farley 和財務長 David Bonanno 領導。博南諾 (Bonanno) 從 Block.One 加入 Bullish，並擔任財務長。
