FTX與K5 Global解決訴訟，保留有爭議的投資基金

這項交易將使FTX保留K5籌集的投資基金的百分比。 FTX首席執行官John J. Ray III表示K5就像一顆寶石

FTX has settled a lawsuit that sought to recover $700 million in disputed investments from K5 Global, a venture capital firm with close ties to former FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

FTX解決了一項訴訟，試圖從K5 Global中收回7億美元的有爭議的投資，K5 Global是一家風險投資公司，與前FTX創始人Sam Bankman Fried緊密聯繫。

The development was first reported by Bloomberg on March 23. The legal battle began in June 2023, when FTX filed a case against K5 in the United States after the exchange collapsed in November 2022. FTX was looking to recover some of its assets, which had been invested in K5.

彭博社於3月23日首次報導了這一發展。法律鬥爭始於2023年6月，當時FTX在2022年11月倒閉後，在美國對K5提起訴訟。FTX試圖收回其一些資產，已投資於K5 。

The deal would allow FTX to retain a percentage of the investment funds raised by K5. According to FTX CEO John J. Ray III, K5 is like "a gem in the company's portfolio" and as much yield as possible from its assets would go toward paying back creditors. This is only one aspect of FTX's broader recovery efforts.

該交易將使FTX保留K5籌集的投資資金的一部分。 FTX首席執行官約翰·J·雷三世（John J. Ray III）表示，K5就像“公司投資組合中的一顆寶石”，其資產的收益率盡可能多地用於償還債權人。這只是FTX更廣泛恢復工作的一個方面。

K5 Global, which was founded by Michael Kives and Bryan Baum, enjoyed strong ties to Bankman-Fried. The ex-aide to Hillary Clinton's chief of staff, Kives also drew on influential business and celebrity connections, reports add. Before the exchange went down, he was said to have laundered some of the stolen FTX money into K5's investments.

由Michael Kives和Bryan Baum創立的K5 Global與Bankman Fried建立了牢固的聯繫。報導說，希拉里·克林頓（Hillary Clinton）參謀長的前Aide Kives還吸引了有影響力的商業和名人聯繫。在交易所下降之前，據說他已經將一些被盜的FTX資金洗淨了K5的投資。

In October 2023, a court sanctioned FTX's proposal to pay creditors back. Since then, the exchange has harvested gains from increasing prices of crypto and asset sales it's holding in AI Startup Anthropic. The K5 settlement fits with these efforts to get creditors maximum recoveries.

2023年10月，法院批准了FTX向債權人償還的提議。從那時起，該交易所從AI初創企業人類人道中持有的加密貨幣和資產銷售的價格上漲而收穫了收益。 K5和解符合這些努力，以使債權人獲得最大的收回。

FTX has also settled with LayerZero and other entities. The LayerZero agreement came after an $86 million lawsuit related to transactions with Alameda Research. The exchange also attempted to recover $67 million from Anthony Scaramucci and $70 million from former Alameda co-CEO Sam Trabucco.

FTX還與LayerZero和其他實體定居。在與Alameda Research進行的交易有關的8600萬美元訴訟之後，該層共同達成了一項協議。該交易所還試圖從Anthony Scaramucci收回6700萬美元，並從前阿拉米達聯合首席執行官Sam Trabucco中收回7000萬美元。

In March 2024, Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison for fraud. Problems he has regarding the legal world still hover above the head of the cloud of uncertainty around the restructuring process at FTX. However, FTX has provisions of $6.5 billion for creditors and has agreed with Backpack on selling FTX EU, thus covering claims for creditors within that region.

2024年3月，Bankman Fried因欺詐而被判處25年徒刑。他對法律界的問題仍然懸停在FTX重組過程周圍的不確定性雲層之上。但是，FTX的債權人有65億美元的規定，並同意背包出售FTX EU，因此涵蓋了該地區內債權人的索賠。

The K5 settlement is making FTX move closer to restoring its financial status and recovering funds for investors, thus proving FTX's willingness to recover all lost assets.

K5解決方案正在使FTX更接近恢復其財務狀況並為投資者收回資金，從而證明了FTX願意收回所有損失的資產。
