FTX數字資產交換的主要客戶最終將 - 不，真的 - 開始收到他們的長期還款

已停產的FTX數字資產交易所的主要客戶最終將 - 不，真的 - 開始收到他們的長期償還，而創始人Sam Bankman Fried（SBF）繼續堅持下去

Major customers of the defunct FTX digital asset exchange will finally—no, really—start receiving their long-overdue repayments, while founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) continues to hold out faint hope for a Trump pardon.

已停產的FTX數字資產交易所的主要客戶最終將開始接受他們的長期償還，而創始人Sam Bankman Fried（SBF）繼續為特朗普赦免帶來微弱的希望。

Late last week, Bloomberg reported on a Delaware bankruptcy court proceeding in which FTX Debtors confirmed that on May 30, it will start distributing some $11.4 billion of recovered funds to FTX’s ‘major’ creditors (those owed more than $50,000). Smaller creditors began receiving payments in February, 16 months after FTX collapsed in a scandal in late 2022.

上週晚些時候，彭博社報導了特拉華州的破產法院訴訟程序，其中FTX債務人確認，5月30日，它將開始向FTX的“主要”債權人分配約114億美元的收回資金（欠款超過50,000美元）。較小的債權人於2022年底在FTX倒塌後16個月開始收取付款。

Initially, it appeared that FTX creditors—regardless of the size of their claims—would receive only a fraction of their tokens’ fiat value. But the significant appreciation in fiat value of major tokens like BTC since the dark days of ‘crypto winter’ offered hope that creditors would receive the full value of their stranded holdings.

最初，似乎FTX債權人（不占主張的規模）僅收到其代幣菲亞特價值的一小部分。但是，自“加密冬季”的黑暗時代以來，BTC等主要代幣的法定價值的大幅度讚賞為債權人提供了滯留的股份的全部價值。

But FTX customers are only receiving the dollar value of their tokens at the time of FTX’s bankruptcy, meaning they miss out on all the value gains since November 2022. This isn’t sitting well with customers who wanted to receive ‘in-kind’ distributions rather than a frozen-in-time dollar conversion.

但是，FTX客戶僅在FTX破產時就獲得了代幣的美元價值，這意味著他們錯過了自2022年11月以來的所有價值上漲。這與希望接收“ In-Kind”分銷的客戶不滿意，而不是暢通無阻的美元轉換。

But the challenges facing FTX Debtors are legion, as detailed by bankruptcy attorney Andrew Dietderich, who said FTX Debtors had received “27 quintillion” claims against the assets it holds. While many of those claims are duplicates or fraudulent, creditors are entitled to 9% annual interest on the value of their claims. So, the longer this process drags out, the greater the value of these larger claims.

但是，FTX債務人面臨的挑戰是軍團，這是破產律師安德魯·迪特里奇（Andrew Dietderich）所詳述的，他說，FTX債務人已對其持有的資產收到了“ 27千億美元”的要求。儘管其中許多索賠是重複的或欺詐性的，但債權人有權根據其索賠價值獲得9％的年利息。因此，此過程拖延的時間越長，這些較大的主張的價值就越大。

Further complicating the process, payouts to creditors based in certain countries—including Russia, China, Egypt, Nigeria, and Ukraine—were deemed ineligible, although FTX Debtors is said to be ‘reviewing’ its options to get funds to these creditors. Of these blocked jurisdictions, China held the largest slice of funds owed at 8%.

進一步使整個過程變得更加複雜，支付某些國家的債權人（包括俄羅斯，中國，埃及，尼日利亞和烏克蘭）被認為是不合格的，儘管據說FTX債務人正在“審查”其向這些債權人獲得資金的選擇。在這些被阻止的司法管轄區中，中國持有最大的欠款率為8％。

Also growing are the fees the bankruptcy attorneys are collecting. In February, Bloomberg reported that the total sum paid to law firms handling FTX’s bankruptcy process was $948 million, making it one of the largest such paydays in U.S. history. The record (nearly $6 billion) is held by the bankruptcy of Wall Street financial giant Lehman Brothers following the 2008 global economic meltdown.

破產律師正在收取的費用也在增長。 2月，彭博社報告說，處理FTX破產流程的律師事務所支付的總額為9.48億美元，使其成為美國歷史上最大的此類薪水之一。在2008年全球經濟崩潰之後，華爾街金融巨頭雷曼兄弟（Lehman Brothers）破產的記錄（近60億美元）持有。

The largest chunk ($306 million) of this nearly billion-dollar legal windfall has gone to the firm of Alvarez and Marsal, which is advising FTX Debtors. The controversial Sullivan & Cromwell firm claimed $248.6 million, while firms representing FTX customers have received over $110 million. The consulting firm of John J. Ray III, the court-appointed CEO of FTX Debtors, has collected over $8 million.

在這一近十億美元的法律意外收穫中，最大的一部分（3.06億美元）交給了Alvarez和Marsal的公司，該公司正在為FTX債務人提供建議。備受爭議的Sullivan＆Cromwell公司聲稱擁有2.486億美元，而代表FTX客戶的公司收到了超過1.1億美元。 FTX債務人的法院首席執行官John J. Ray III的諮詢公司已收取超過800萬美元。

SBF sees his prison shadow, faces 24 more years of winter

SBF看到了他的監獄影子，面對冬天24年

SBF看到了他的監獄影子，面對冬天24年

SBF, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison one year ago this week, was moved from his home at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn to a Federal Transfer Center (FTC) in Oklahoma on March 27. While the Federal Bureau of Prisons doesn’t offer explanations as to why it transfers prisoners, there are clues as to why SBF might be destined for a new permanent home.

SBF於本週一年前被判處25年監禁，他於3月27日從位於布魯克林的大都會拘留中心（MDC）搬到了俄克拉荷馬州的聯邦轉會中心（FTC）。

After staying on the downlow following his sentence, SBF began something of a media tour following Donald Trump’s inauguration as U.S. president in January, starting with a February 20 audio interview with the New York Sun. Four days later, SBF tweeted for the first time in two years, disclosing that “being unemployed is a lot less relaxing than it looks.”

在他的刑期之後，SBF呆在下垂之後，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在1月擔任美國總統之後，開始了一次媒體巡迴演出，從2月20日對紐約太陽的音頻採訪開始。四天后，SBF兩年來首次發推文，並透露“失業的放鬆要比看起來要少得多。”

In early March, the day before SBF turned 33, SBF granted conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson an interview in which SBF appeared via video from his MDC cell. This appears to have been the final straw for federal officials, given that SBF hadn’s cleared the interview with MDC staff in advance as he was required to do. SBF was reportedly put in solitary confinement at MDC after the interview was made public.

3月初，即SBF 33歲的前一天，SBF授予了保守的Podcaster Tucker Carlson採訪，SBF通過他的MDC Cell的視頻出現。鑑於SBF Hadn在對MDC工作人員的採訪中清除了他的採訪，這似乎是聯邦官員的最後一根稻草。據報導，在採訪公開後，SBF在MDC被單獨監禁。

Last May, SBF was briefly transferred to the FTC—the waystation for federal prisoners on the move—before being returned to MDC. At the time, it was thought the move might presage SBF being transferred to a federal prison in California in order to be closer to his parents, although this theory ultimately proved unfounded. His ‘forever’ home remains unclear at this point.

去年五月，SBF被短暫轉移到FTC（聯邦囚犯的行駛之路），然後再返回MDC。當時，人們認為此舉可能會預示SBF被轉移到加利福尼亞州的聯邦監獄，以便與他的父母更親近，儘管該理論最終證明是沒有根據的。在這一點上，他的“永遠”的家還不清楚。

As for the content of SBF’s media blitz, he’s trying to rebrand himself as having been a closet conservative all along, presumably in the hope of securing a pardon from Trump. During the administration of Trump’s predecessor, SBF made conspicuous contributions to Democratic causes

至於SBF媒體閃電戰的內容，他一直試圖重塑自己一直是保守派的壁櫥，大概是為了從特朗普那裡獲得赦免。在特朗普的前任管理期間，SBF對民主事業做出了明顯的貢獻
