Sam Bankman-Fried Sentenced to 25 Years in Prison

薩姆·班克曼-弗里德被判處 25 年監禁

In a landmark ruling, former FTX CEO Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison on seven felony charges related to the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange. The sentence was handed down by Judge Lewis Kaplan of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 28, following a lengthy trial and sentencing hearing.

在一項具有里程碑意義的裁決中，FTX 前首席執行官 Sam“SBF”Bankman-Fried 因與加密貨幣交易所倒閉有關的七項重罪被判處 25 年聯邦監獄徒刑。經過漫長的審判和量刑聽證會後，美國紐約南區地方法院法官劉易斯·卡普蘭 (Lewis Kaplan) 於 3 月 28 日做出了這項判決。

Details of the Sentence

句子的細節

Judge Kaplan imposed a sentence of 240 months for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and conspiracy to commit campaign finance violations. An additional 60 months were added for operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, conspiracy to commit wire fraud affecting a financial institution, and conspiracy to commit securities fraud.

卡普蘭法官因共謀實施電信詐欺、共謀洗錢和共謀違反競選財務行為而判處 240 個月監禁。經營未經許可的匯款業務、共謀實施影響金融機構的電匯詐欺以及共謀實施證券詐欺的罪名額外增加 60 個月。

Witness Tampering and Perjury

證人竄改和偽證

During the sentencing hearing, Judge Kaplan also found that SBF had committed witness tampering and perjury. The witness tampering charges stem from SBF's attempts to contact a witness and influence their testimony after being released on bail in August 2023. The perjury charges relate to SBF's testimony during trial regarding the use of FTX user funds.

在量刑聽證會上，卡普蘭法官也發現SBF有竄改證人和偽證的行為。證人篡改指控源於 SBF 在 2023 年 8 月保釋後試圖聯繫證人並影響他們的證詞。偽證指控與 SBF 在審判期間有關 FTX 用戶資金使用的證詞有關。

Significance of the Sentence

這句話的意義

SBF's sentence marks a significant milestone in the ongoing fallout from the collapse of FTX, which sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency industry last year. It is the first prison sentence handed down to an individual directly tied to the exchange's downfall.

SBF 的判決標誌著 FTX 崩潰持續影響的一個重要里程碑，FTX 去年為加密貨幣行業帶來了衝擊。這是首次對與該交易所垮台直接相關的個人判處監禁。

Fidelity Files for Spot Ether ETF with Staking

富達 (Fidelity) 提交以太幣現貨 ETF 質押申請

In a major development for the cryptocurrency ecosystem, Fidelity Investments has filed an S-1 application with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to create a spot Ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) that will include staking capabilities. The ETF, if approved, would allow investors to gain exposure to Ether (ETH) without the need to purchase and store it directly.

作為加密貨幣生態系統的重大發展，富達投資已向美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 提交了 S-1 申請，以創建包含質押功能的現貨以太幣交易所交易基金 (ETF)。該 ETF 如果獲得批准，將允許投資者獲得以太幣 (ETH) 的投資，而無需直接購買和儲存。

Key Features of the ETF

ETF的主要特點

The proposed ETF would invest primarily in spot Ether, tracking the value of the cryptocurrency without the need for futures contracts or other derivatives. It would also provide investors with the opportunity to earn rewards through staking, a process by which Ether is held to validate transactions on the Ethereum blockchain.

擬議的 ETF 將主要投資於現貨以太幣，追蹤加密貨幣的價值，而不需要期貨合約或其他衍生性商品。它還將為投資者提供透過質押賺取獎勵的機會，質押是持有以太幣以驗證以太坊區塊鏈上交易的過程。

SEC 拒絕了 Coinbase 駁回該機構針對加密貨幣交易所提起的訴訟的動議。美國地區法官 Katherine Failla 做出的這項決定允許 SEC 繼續針對 Coinbase 提起訴訟，指控該交易所列出 SEC 聲稱為證券的 13 種代幣，違反了聯邦證券法。
