加密貨幣大亨 Bankman-Fried 因 FTX 詐欺被判 25 年監禁 - West Island Blog

In a stirring New York Federal courtroom verdict that has attracted widespread attention, Sam Bankman-Fried, the architect of the crumbled cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, has been given a 25-year prison sentence for violating the trust of his users by defrauding them. The decisive judgment was handed down by US District Judge Lewis Kaplan within the somber confines of Lower Manhattan’s federal court.

在紐約聯邦法庭一項引起廣泛關注的激動人心的判決中，崩潰的加密貨幣交易所FTX 的架構師薩姆·班克曼·弗里德(Sam Bankman-Fried) 被判處25 年監禁，罪名是透過詐騙侵犯用戶的信任。美國地區法官劉易斯卡普蘭 (Lewis Kaplan) 在曼哈頓下城聯邦法院的陰沉氛圍中做出了這項決定性判決。

Lenient arguments forwarded on behalf of Bankman-Fried were met with stringent disapproval by Judge Kaplan, who scorned the defense’s reasonings as “misleading, logically untenable, and speculative.” The Judge laid particular emphasis on Bankman-Fried’s egregious attempts to obstruct justice and tamper with witnesses during the course of his defense. These transgressions played a significant role in influencing the severity of the defendant’s sentence.

代表班克曼-弗里德提出的寬大論點遭到了卡普蘭法官的嚴厲反對，他嘲笑辯方的推理是「誤導性的、邏輯上站不住腳的和推測性的」。法官特別強調了班克曼-弗里德在辯護過程中企圖妨礙司法公正和竄改證人的惡劣行為。這些違法行為對於影響被告刑罰的嚴重程度發揮了重要作用。

Bankman-Fried, embroiled in deep regret, issued a statement laden with remorse, admitting that his sequence of “selfish” choices, as the head of FTX, paved the way towards its disastrous downfall. He confessed his folly in having “squandered it all” — a move he rues on a daily basis in distressing retrospection.

⭐ 經過驗證的廣告✔️ 陷入深深悔恨之中的班克曼-弗里德發表了一份充滿悔恨的聲明，承認自己作為FTX 負責人的一系列“自私”選擇，為FTX 的災難性垮台鋪平了道路。他承認自己“浪費了一切”，這是愚蠢的行為——他每天都會在痛苦的回顧中後悔這一舉動。

Prosecutors, when the trial initially commenced, had advocated for a maximum sentence encompassing a half-century behind bars. Meanwhile, the legal counsel representing Bankman-Fried campaigned for a far less imposing maximum sentence, spanning only 6 years. Bankman-Fried, guilty of seven criminal charges as decreed by a court ruling in November, now finds his residence within the confines of Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

審判最初開始時，檢察官主張最高刑期為監禁半個世紀。同時，班克曼-弗里德的代表法律顧問主張將最高刑期減輕得多，刑期僅六年。根據法院去年 11 月的裁決，班克曼-弗里德犯下七項刑事指控，目前他的住所位於布魯克林大都會拘留中心。

Delivering a shattering blow to his victims, prosecutors presented the court with documents depicting damning accounts of lives irreversibly damaged by Bankman-Fried’s misdeeds. A chilling testimony of a victim, whose identity has been veiled for their privacy, depicted the utter devastation they experienced through the loss of their entire life savings and the excruciating emotional burden that his family had been tragically subjected to.

The victim deeply expressed their terrifying ordeal—how they entrusted their hard-earned money to FTX as a custodian, completely unaware of the reckless financial risks Bankman-Fried was taking on their behalf. They laid bare the deep mental agony they were subjected to, leading them to severe depression and despondency, even contemplating suicide.

受害者深深表達了他們可怕的磨難——他們如何將辛苦賺來的錢委託給 FTX 作為託管人，完全沒有意識到 Bankman-Fried 代表他們承擔的魯莽的財務風險。他們揭露了自己所遭受的深刻的精神痛苦，導致他們陷入嚴重的憂鬱和沮喪，甚至考慮自殺。

The prosecution divulged during the trial that Bankman-Fried had willfully siphoned funds off FTX customers, amassing an astonishing figure rumored to be around $8 billion. Ostensibly, these funds were maneuvered to support a myriad of ventures outside of FTX, including funding political campaigns, backing speculative investment endeavors, and maintaining the extravagant lifestyle of senior FTX members.

檢方在審判期間透露，Bankman-Fried 故意從 FTX 客戶那裡挪用資金，據傳所籌集的資金數量驚人，約 80 億美元。表面上，這些資金被用來支持 FTX 以外的無數企業，包括資助政治運動、支持投機性投資活動以及維持 FTX 高級會員的奢侈生活方式。

In an ominous light cast upon FTX’s native token, FTT, its daily trading chart signifies a continuous downward spiral in its market value, post-trial. This development serves as a glaring indication of the bleak financial aftermath left behind in the wake of Sam Bankman-Fried’s illicit actions.
