FTX 前執行長 Sam Bankman-Fried 被判 25 年監禁

New York, NY - In a momentous conclusion to one of the most high-profile fraud trials in recent history, Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Thursday. Judge Lewis Kaplan, presiding over the proceedings, found that the "extraordinary dimensions" of Bankman-Fried's crimes warranted a severe punishment, despite arguments from both prosecutors and defense attorneys for a more lenient sentence.

紐約 - FTX 前首席執行官 Sam Bankman-Fried 週四被判處 25 年監禁，這是近代歷史上最引人注目的欺詐審判之一的重大結論。主持訴訟的劉易斯·卡普蘭法官認為，儘管檢察官和辯護律師都主張從輕處罰，但班克曼·弗里德的罪行“規模非凡”，值得嚴厲處罰。

The sentencing hearing marks the culmination of a saga that has captivated the financial world and beyond. Bankman-Fried, once hailed as a visionary in the cryptocurrency industry, was accused of orchestrating a vast scheme to defraud FTX customers and investors. The collapse of FTX in November 2022 sent shockwaves through the market, wiping out billions of dollars in assets and eroding trust in the cryptocurrency sector.

量刑聽證會標誌著這場讓金融界及其他領域著迷的傳奇故事達到高潮。班克曼-弗里德曾被譽為加密貨幣行業的遠見卓識者，他被指控策劃了一項大規模的計劃來欺騙 FTX 客戶和投資者。 2022 年 11 月 FTX 的崩盤給市場帶來了衝擊，損失了數十億美元的資產，並削弱了人們對加密貨幣產業的信任。

At the heart of the prosecution's case was the allegation that Bankman-Fried had diverted customer funds from FTX to Alameda Research, a hedge fund he also controlled. Prosecutors argued that this diversion was done to cover up losses incurred by Alameda's risky investments. Bankman-Fried's defense team contended that he did not intentionally commit fraud, but that his actions were the result of poor management and overwhelming market volatility.

檢方案件的核心是指控 Bankman-Fried 將客戶資金從 FTX 轉移到他也控制的對沖基金 Alameda Research。檢察官辯稱，這種轉移是為了掩蓋阿拉米達創投造成的損失。班克曼-弗里德的辯護團隊辯稱，他並沒有故意實施欺詐，但他的行為是管理不善和市場劇烈波動的結果。

Judge Kaplan rejected the defense's arguments, finding that Bankman-Fried knowingly deceived customers and investors about the true financial condition of FTX. The evidence presented at trial, including testimony from former FTX executives and internal company documents, painted a damning picture of a company operating with a reckless disregard for regulatory compliance and ethical principles.

卡普蘭法官駁回了辯方的論點，認為 Bankman-Fried 在 FTX 的真實財務狀況方面故意欺騙客戶和投資者。審判中提供的證據，包括前 FTX 高層的證詞和公司內部文件，描繪了一家公司肆意無視監管合規和道德原則的可怕景象。

In pronouncing the sentence, Judge Kaplan emphasized the severity of Bankman-Fried's crimes. He noted that the collapse of FTX had caused significant financial harm to countless individuals and institutions, and that it had undermined confidence in the entire cryptocurrency market.

卡普蘭法官在宣判時強調了班克曼-弗里德罪行的嚴重性。他指出，FTX 的崩盤給無數個人和機構造成了重大財務損失，並削弱了對整個加密貨幣市場的信心。

"The judgment has to adequately reflect the seriousness of the crime, and this was a very serious crime," Judge Kaplan said.

卡普蘭法官說：“判決必須充分反映犯罪的嚴重性，這是一項非常嚴重的犯罪。”

Bankman-Fried's sentencing is a testament to the profound consequences of financial fraud. It sends a clear message that those who abuse their positions of trust and engage in deceptive practices will be held accountable. The sentence also underscores the need for increased regulation and transparency in the cryptocurrency industry.

班克曼-弗里德的判決證明了金融詐欺的深遠後果。它發出了一個明確的訊息，即那些濫用職權並從事欺騙行為的人將被追究責任。這句話也強調了加密貨幣產業加強監管和透明度的必要性。

In addition to the prison sentence, Judge Kaplan ordered Bankman-Fried to pay a fine of $1.3 billion and forfeit all his assets. Bankman-Fried has 14 days to file an appeal.

除了監禁之外，卡普蘭法官還命令班克曼-弗里德支付 13 億美元的罰款並沒收他的所有資產。班克曼-弗里德有 14 天的時間提出上訴。
