在向聯邦調查局提供抓捕加密騙子的工具後，加里·王（Gary Wang）不會入獄

FTX 數位資產交易所的共同創辦人在向美國聯邦政府提供識別傳統證券和加密貨幣詐欺交易的工具後不會入獄。

Gary Wang, co-founder of the collapsed FTX digital asset exchange, was sentenced on Monday to time served and three years of supervised release for his role in the massive fraud that led to the exchange’s closure in November 2022.

倒閉的 FTX 數位資產交易所聯合創始人加里·王 (Gary Wang) 因參與導致該交易所於 2022 年 11 月關閉的大規模欺詐行為，於週一被判處服刑並受監管三年。

Wang, who was arrested shortly after FTX’s collapse, was charged with conspiracy to commit fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, and conspiracy to commit securities fraud.

王在 FTX 倒閉後不久被捕，被指控串謀實施詐欺、電匯詐欺、串謀實施商品詐欺和串謀證券詐欺。

The former CTO of FTX quickly pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York (SDNY). He was the first FTX criminal defendant to cooperate, leading prosecutors to argue for leniency from U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in a pre-sentencing memo earlier this month.

FTX前技術長很快就認罪，並同意與美國紐約南區檢察官辦公室（SDNY）檢察官合作。他是第一位合作的 FTX 刑事被告，促使檢察官在本月早些時候的一份量刑前備忘錄中要求美國地區法官劉易斯·卡普蘭 (Lewis Kaplan) 寬大處理。

On Monday, Kaplan agreed, telling Wang he was “entitled to a world of credit” due to “the extent of your cooperation.” (More on this below). Kaplan also noted that Wang didn’t become aware of the extent of FTX’s malfeasance until much later than some of his former colleagues.

週一，卡普蘭同意了，並告訴王，由於“你們的合作程度”，他“有權獲得信用世界”。 （更多內容請見下文）。卡普蘭也指出，王比他的一些前同事晚得多才意識到 FTX 不法行為的嚴重程度。

Wang, who told Kaplan he’d taken “the easy path, the cowardly path, instead of doing the right thing,” was the fifth and final FTX exec to be sentenced by Kaplan in the wake of the exchange’s demise.

王告訴卡普蘭，他選擇了“簡單的、懦弱的道路，而不是做正確的事”，他是卡普蘭在交易所倒閉後第五位也是最後一位被判刑的 FTX 高管。

Former director of engineering Nishad Singh, who also cooperated with prosecutors, received a similar time-served sentence on October 30.

同樣與檢察官合作的前工程總監 Nishad Singh 於 10 月 30 日被判處類似的緩刑。

Caroline Ellison, the final CEO of FTX’s affiliated market-maker Alameda Research, began serving her two-year prison sentence earlier this month. Like Singh and Wang, Ellison cooperated with prosecutors but Kaplan said her involvement in the fraud was too great to allow her a ‘get out of jail free’ card.

FTX 附屬做市商 Alameda Research 的最後任執行長 Caroline Ellison 於本月初開始服刑兩年。與辛格和王一樣，艾里森也與檢察官合作，但卡普蘭表示，她參與詐欺的程度太大，無法讓她獲得「免入獄」卡。

Former FTX Digital Markets CEO Ryan Salame began serving his 90-month sentence last month after a strange sequence of events that included a guilty plea, an attempt to withdraw that plea and some harsh words from Kaplan as to why Salame signed papers admitting his guilt only to loudly proclaim his innocence on social media while awaiting his sentence.

FTX Digital Markets 前首席執行官 Ryan Salame 上個月開始服刑 90 個月，此前發生了一系列奇怪的事件，其中包括認罪、試圖撤回認罪以及 Kaplan 對 Salame 為何只簽署文件承認有罪的嚴厲言論在等待判決期間，他在社群媒體上大聲宣稱自己無罪。

And of course, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) is doing 25 years in federal prison after mounting an ill-advised defense in which he attempted to deflect blame and diminish the impact of his fraud.

當然，FTX 創始人 Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) 在進行不明智的辯護後，試圖轉移責任並減少其欺詐行為的影響，目前正在聯邦監獄服刑 25 年。

Indeed, SBF’s defense was judged so inept it was puzzling to read that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs recently hired one of SBF’s trial attorneys to assist his defense of multiple sex trafficking charges. Combs and SBF are currently both housed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

事實上，SBF 的辯護被認為是如此無能，以至於讀到“吹牛老爹”肖恩·庫姆斯(Sean 'Diddy' Combs) 最近聘請了SBF 的一名出庭律師來協助他為多項性販運指控進行辯護，令人費解。庫姆斯和 SBF 目前都被關押在布魯克林大都會拘留中心。

Clearly, the three execs who cooperated with the feds fared far better than the pair who tried to downplay the severity of their crimes. With SBF biographer Michael Lewis having recently signed a deal to bring his Going Infinite book to the big screen—and Lena Dunham set to write the screenplay—we’ll just have to wait to see how Hollywood sorts this quintet into heroes and villains.

顯然，與聯邦調查局合作的三名高階主管的表現遠遠好於試圖淡化罪行嚴重性的兩名高階主管。 SBF 傳記作家邁克爾劉易斯(Michael Lewis) 最近簽署了一項協議，將他的《無限》一書搬上大銀幕，而莉娜鄧納姆(Lena Dunham) 也將撰寫劇本，我們只需拭目以待，看看好萊塢如何將這五人組分為英雄和惡棍。

Tools of the troubled tradeGetting back to Wang’s cooperation with the SDNY, the prosecutors suggested his assistance might lead to a bevy of future prosecutions against those engaging in the kind of transactional chicanery that brought FTX to ruin.

陷入困境的交易的工具回到王與 SDNY 的合作，檢察官表示，他的協助可能會導致未來對那些參與導致 FTX 破產的交易詐欺行為的人進行一系列起訴。

The SDNY praised Wang’s willingness to expose SBF’s lies about how much the latter understood of the technical ‘backdoors’ that Wang had built between FTX and Alameda. These backdoors allowed Alameda to plunder billions from FTX customer accounts to cover losses stemming from Alameda’s loss-making token trades.

SDNY 讚揚 Wang 願意揭露 SBF 的謊言，即後者對 Wang 在 FTX 和 Alameda 之間建立的技術「後門」有多少了解。這些後門允許 Alameda 從 FTX 客戶帳戶中掠奪數十億美元，以彌補 Alameda 虧損的代幣交易造成的損失。

But prosecutors said Wang put his “extraordinary computer programing skills” into building tools to detect “potential fraud in the stock and cryptocurrency markets.” The SDNY said Wang “has built an interface that the Government has begun using for detecting potential fraud by publicly traded companies.”

但檢察官表示，王將他「非凡的電腦程式設計技能」用於建立工具來檢測「股票和加密貨幣市場中的潛在詐欺行為」。 SDNY 表示，王“已經建立了一個介面，政府已開始使用該介面來檢測上市公司的潛在詐欺行為。”

Wang is also building “a tool for detection of potential illegal activity in cryptocurrency markets,” something the SDNY says Wang will be able to finish “as part of his ongoing cooperation” now that he’s been spared jail time. Sadly, specifics of these tools were redacted from the filing but the SDNY appears excited at the opportunities the tools apparently can and will provide.

Wang 也正在開發“一種用於檢測加密貨幣市場中潛在非法活動的工具”，SDNY 表示，由於 Wang 已經免於入獄，“作為其持續合作的一部分”，他將能夠完成這項工作。遺憾的是，這些工具的具體細節已從文件中刪除，但 SDNY 似乎對這些工具顯然能夠並將提供的機會感到興奮。

During Wang’s Monday court appearance, Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos told Kaplan the SDNY had some non-public charges it was preparing to file against unspecified companies based on information that would have been much easier to detect had Wang’s tools been available earlier.

在王周一出庭期間，美國助理檢察官尼古拉斯·魯斯(Nicolas Roos) 告訴卡普蘭，SDNY 正準備對未指明的公司提出一些非公開指控，這些指控的依據是如果王的工具早點可用的話，這些資訊會更容易被發現。

Of course, there will be a new U.S. Attorney for the SDNY as of January, with president-elect Donald Trump having already named former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chief Jay Clayton to head up the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) primary eye on America’s financial heart. Clayton had a mixed stance toward digital assets during his SEC tenure but appears to have taken a far more favorable approach since leaving government in December 2020.

當然，從一月份起，紐約市將有一位新的美國檢察官，當選總統唐納德·特朗普已經任命前證券交易委員會(SEC) 主席傑伊·克萊頓(Jay Clayton) 領導司法部(DOJ ) 的主要負責人美國的金融心臟。克萊頓在 SEC 任職期間對數位資產持不同立場，但自 2020 年 12 月離開政府以來似乎採取了更有利的態度。
