FTX 起訴幣安和前執行長趙展鵬，索賠 $1.8B，指控欺詐性股票交易

該訴訟於週日（11 月 10 日）由 FTX 破產財產提起，主要圍繞 FTX 所稱的「欺詐」股票交易。

FTX is suing cryptocurrency exchange Binance and its former CEO for $1.8 billion.

FTX 正在起訴加密貨幣交易所 Binance 及其前首席執行官，索賠 18 億美元。

The lawsuit, filed Sunday (Nov. 10) by the FTX bankruptcy estate, centers around what FTX labeled a “fraudulent” share deal. It also accuses ex-Binance chief executive Chanpeng Zhao of orchestrating a “campaign to destroy” his one-time rival crypto exchange.

該訴訟於週日（11 月 10 日）由 FTX 破產財產提起，主要圍繞 FTX 所稱的「欺詐」股票交易。它還指責幣安前首席執行官趙長鵬策劃了一場「摧毀」他曾經的競爭對手加密貨幣交易所的運動。

The share deal happened in July of 2021, when Binance, Zhao and other executives sold a 20% stake in FTX back to the company for $1.7 billion in crypto. The suit argues that the transaction — part of a deal made with FTX founder/convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried — should not have gone forward.

這項股權交易發生在 2021 年 7 月，當時幣安、趙和其他高階主管以 17 億美元的加密貨幣將 FTX 20% 的股權出售給該公司。該訴訟稱，該交易是與 FTX 創始人/被定罪的詐欺者 Sam Bankman-Fried 達成的交易的一部分，不應該繼續進行。

According to the suit, FTX and sister company Alameda Research “may have been insolvent from inception and certainly were balance-sheet insolvent by early 2021,” and thus the resale deal should not have been permitted.

根據訴訟，FTX 和姊妹公司 Alameda Research“可能從一開始就資不抵債，到 2021 年初資產負債表肯定也資不抵債”，因此轉售交易不應被允許。

Binance had announced in November of 2022 that it was going to begin liquidating its holdings of FTX’s FTT token.

幣安於 2022 年 11 月宣布，將開始清算其持有的 FTX FTT 代幣。

“A competitor is trying to go after us with false rumors,” Bankman-Fried said on Twitter soon after. “FTX is fine. Assets are fine.”

班克曼-弗里德不久後在推特上表示：“競爭對手正試圖用虛假謠言來攻擊我們。” “FTX 很好。資產沒問題。

Later, Binance emerged as a possible rescuer, with the heads of the two companies announcing a deal for Binance to acquire its rival.

後來，幣安成為了可能的救援者，兩家公司的負責人宣布了幣安收購其競爭對手的協議。

However, that deal fell apart the following day, with Binance saying that its due diligence — along with reports of mishandled customer funds at FTX — had led it to walk away from the purchase.

然而，這筆交易第二天就破裂了，幣安表示，其盡職調查以及有關 FTX 客戶資金處理不當的報告導致其放棄了收購。

The Binance suit is the latest in a series of actions by FTX to recover lost funds for its creditors. Last week, the company filed suit against former Trump administration official Anthony Scaramucci and his company SkyBridge Capital.

幣安訴訟是 FTX 為債權人追回損失資金而採取的一系列行動中的最新一起。上週，該公司對前川普政府官員安東尼·斯卡拉穆奇及其公司天橋資本提起訴訟。

That action claims that FTX hopes to claw back money that was part of “a campaign of influence-buying” by Bankman-Fried, carried out as the company was struggling to meet its cash flow needs.

該行動聲稱，FTX 希望收回屬於 Bankman-Fried「影響力購買活動」一部分的資金，該活動是在該公司難以滿足現金流需求時進行的。

“These ‘investments’ conveyed little to no benefit to Debtors, and instead served only to prop up Bankman-Fried’s standing in the worlds of politics and traditional finance,” the suit says, adding he then attempted to leverage as “potential sources of equity investment in FTX to fill the hole in the balance sheet and, therefore, keep his scheme afloat.”

訴訟稱：「這些『投資』幾乎沒有為債務人帶來任何好處，相反，只是為了支撐班克曼-弗里德在政治和傳統金融領域的地位。」他還補充說，他隨後試圖利用槓桿作為「潛在的股權來源」。
