FTX首席執行官Sam Bankman Fried似乎正在嘗試進行媒體康復之旅

在他最近提到政府效率部（DOGE）的社會帖子之間，對紐約太陽的採訪以及他與保守派專家塔克·卡爾森的對話

Sam Bankman-Fried, the former FTX CEO, appeared to be attempting a media rehabilitation tour with recent social posts referring to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an interview with The New York Sun and his conversation with conservative pundit Tucker Carlson.

前FTX首席執行官Sam Bankman Fried似乎正在嘗試進行媒體康復之旅，最近的社會帖子指的是政府效率部（DOGE），對紐約太陽的採訪以及他與保守派Pundit Tucker Carlson的對話。

Sam Bankman-Fried suggested to Tucker Carlson on Thursday that one of the reasons he’d been given a harsh prison sentence was because he was getting closer to the Republican Party in the lead-up to his arrest.

山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）週四向塔克·卡爾森（Tucker Carlson）提議，他被判入獄的原因之一是因為他在被捕的情況下接近共和黨。

“One fact that might be relevant. In 2020 I was center-left and I gave to Biden's campaign. I was optimistic he'd be a sort of solid center-left President. I spent the next few years in [Washington] DC a lot. I made dozens of trips there, and was really, really shocked by what I saw, not in a good direction, from the administration.”

“這可能是相關的事實。在2020年，我左翼左右，我給了拜登的競選活動。我很樂觀，他將成為一個堅實的中左派總統。接下來的幾年，我在[華盛頓] DC上花了很多時間。我在那裡進行了數十次旅行，對我所看到的，而不是朝政府的良好方向感到震驚。”

“By late 2022 I was giving to Republicans privately as much as Democrats. And that started becoming known right around FTX’s collapse, so that probably played a role,” Bankman-Fried added.

“到2022年底，我和民主黨人一樣私下給共和黨人。這已經開始在FTX崩潰的圍繞著，因此可能發揮了作用。”

Sam Bankman-Fried was found guilty of multiple charges of fraud and conspiracy in March 2024 and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He made over $40 million in political donations to 196 members of Congress, including former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and former Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). In other words, 1 in 3 lawmakers took money from him.

薩姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）炸罪在2024年3月被判犯有多項欺詐和陰謀指控，並被判處25年徒刑。他向196名國會議員捐款超過4000萬美元，其中包括眾議院議長凱文·麥卡錫（Kevin McCarthy）（R-Calif。）和前參議院多數黨領袖查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）（DN.Y.）。換句話說，三分之一的議員從他那裡拿走了錢。

During Sam Bankman-Fried’s lengthy trial, it was revealed that he'd mulled a number of potential ways to rehab his public image following the collapse of FTX. An undated Google Doc listed ideas such as "come out against the woke agenda" and "Go on Tucker Carlsen, come out as a republican." With the GOP now firmly in power in D.C., the latter idea has now seemingly come to fruition.

在山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）罰款的漫長審判中，據透露，他在FTX崩潰後考慮了許多潛在的方法來恢復公眾形象。一位未註明日期的Google Doc列出了諸如“反對喚醒議程”和“去塔克·卡爾森（Tucker Carlsen），作為共和黨人出來的想法”。隨著共和黨現在在DC掌權，後者的想法似乎已經實現了。

Sam Bankman-Fried told Carlson that he’d never expected a whole lot from the Democrats but that he believed some lawmakers would prove thoughtful in both political parties. He went on to criticize former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler, calling the agency “something out of a nightmare” during his tenure due to difficulties for crypto companies to come in and register.

山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）炸了卡爾森（Carlson），他從來沒有想到民主黨人對民主黨人有很多期望，但他認為一些立法者在兩個政黨中都會證明是周到的。他繼續批評前證券交易委員會（SEC）主席加里·蓋斯勒（Gary Gensler），由於加密公司很難進入並註冊，該機構在任期期間稱該機構“一場噩夢之外”。

Asked by Carlson whether he’d called in any favors from political figures during his trial, Sam Bankman-Fried denied it. However, the 33-year-old’s parents, former Stanford Law School professors Barbara Fried and Joseph Bankman, have reportedly been meeting with lawyers and other people in U.S. President Donald Trump’s orbit in a bid to secure their son a presidential pardon.

卡爾森問他在審判期間是否從政治人物中呼籲任何恩惠時，山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）否認了這一點。但是，據報導，這位33歲的父母，前斯坦福大學法學院教授芭芭拉·弗里德（Barbara Fried）和約瑟夫·班克曼（Joseph Bankman），據報導一直在與律師和其他人唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的軌道上會面，以確保他們的兒子保留總統赦免。

“There’s a long story there. It involves a law firm that took a pretty unusual and active role in the case, before I even gave up control of FTX, before it was ever filed for bankruptcy, the DOJ had already made up its mind.”

“那裡有一個很長的故事。它涉及一家律師事務所在案件中發揮了非常不尋常和積極的作用，在我甚至放棄對FTX的控制權之前，在申請破產之前，司法部已經下定決心。”

The Google Doc unveiled during Sam Bankman-Fried’s trial also suggested he was planning to "talk about how the cartel of lawyers is destroying value and throwing entrepreneurs under the bus in order to cover up the incompetence of lawyers.”

Google Doc在Sam Bankman-Fried的審判期間揭幕，他還建議他計劃“談論律師卡特爾如何破壞價值並將企業家投擲到公共汽車下，以掩蓋律師的無能。”

Sam Bankman-Fried recently posted a series of messages on social media about the difficulties of firing employees, in reference to the firings enacted by DOGE. Sam Bankman-Fried was criticized by the crypto community for the posts, which were perceived by many as an attempt to ingratiate himself with the Trump administration.

Sam Bankman Fried最近在社交媒體上發布了一系列有關解僱員工的困難的消息，內容涉及Doge頒布的射擊。山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）被加密社區批評了這些職位，這些職位被許多人認為是使自己與特朗普政府結識的企圖。
