據報導，山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）的父母的目的是使他們的兒子成為總統赦免

目前尚不清楚約瑟夫·班克曼（Joseph Bankman）和芭芭拉·弗里德（Barbara Fried）是否真的直接伸向新的白宮

The parents of Sam Bankman-Fried are reportedly aiming to get their son a presidential pardon following the full and unconditional pardon granted by President Donald Trump to Ross Ulbricht, the founder of darkweb marketplace Silk Road.

據報導，山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）炸薯條的父母的目的是在唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統向Darkweb Marketplace Silk Road的創始人Ross Ulbricht授予的全部和無條件的赦免後，旨在使他們的兒子成為總統赦免。

It is unclear whether Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried have actually reached out directly to the new White House, but it's not a surprise for the cryptocurrency community if they did, considering the recent pardons for some high-profile figures.

目前尚不清楚約瑟夫·班克曼（Joseph Bankman）和芭芭拉·弗里德（Barbara Fried）是否真的直接伸向新的白宮，但考慮到最近的一些備受矚目的人物，對於加密貨幣社區來說，這並不令人驚訝。

A Difficult Journey Toward Freedom

艱難的自由之旅

The parents of the disgraced crypto exchange founder have set their eyes on a presidential pardon, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

彭博社週四報導說，這家恥辱的加密交易所創始人的父母將目光投向了總統赦免。

SBF's parents have met with some lawyers and other prominent figures within the U.S. president's circle, the report added. However, it is unclear if the said figures are people working under the Trump White House.

報告補充說，SBF的父母在美國總統圈子裡會見了一些律師和其他重要人物。但是，目前尚不清楚所說的數字是否是特朗普白宮下工作的人。

Even if Bankman-Fried's parents do kick off a movement to free their son, it may not be an easy journey, at least based on the more than 11 years that the #FreeRoss movement trudged to help Ulbricht obtain his freedom earlier this month.

即使Bankman Fried的父母確實開始運動以釋放兒子，這可能並不容易，至少是基於11年以上的#Freeross運動而努力幫助Ulbricht在本月初獲得自由。

To determine the likelihood of a Trump presidential pardon for SBF, once the darling of the crypto crowd before his defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX spectacularly collapsed late in 2022, it would only be fitting to compare his case with that of Ulbricht.

為了確定特朗普總統赦免SBF的可能性，曾經是加密貨幣人群的寵兒，他在他已經存在的加密貨幣交易所FTX FTX在2022年末震驚地崩潰了，這只適合將他的案子與Ulbricht的案子進行比較。

Silk Road vs FTX – 2 Different Cases, 2 Different Endings

絲綢之路與FTX - 2種不同的情況，2個不同的結尾

First, the Silk Road and FTX sagas were two very different things. Silk Road was a darknet website that Ulbricht created in 2011. The darkweb marketplace allowed Bitcoin transactions for various items and products.

首先，絲綢之路和FTX傳奇是兩個截然不同的東西。絲綢之路是Ulbricht於2011年創建的Darknet網站。DarkWeb市場允許對各種物品和產品的比特幣交易。

However, Silk Road was found to have been used by malicious actors and illegal sellers. The illegal items sold on the marketplace ranged from weapons, stolen passports, illegal drugs, and even hacking equipment.

但是，發現絲綢之路已被惡意演員和非法賣家使用。在市場上出售的非法物品包括武器，被盜護照，非法毒品，甚至是黑客式設備。

The U.S. government ultimately shut down Silk Road in 2013 and Ulbricht was arrested for his creation and operation of the website.

美國政府最終在2013年關閉了絲綢之路，烏爾布里希特（Ulbricht）因其創建和網站的運作而被捕。

FTX, on the other hand, was one of the world's largest crypto exchanges by trading volume before an early November 2022 report exposed close balance sheet ties between FTX and Alameda, the exchange's sister companies.

另一方面，FTX是全球最大的加密貨幣交易量之一，然後在2022年11月初的報告報告中揭露了FTX和Alameda之間的緊密資產負債表，該公司是交易所的姊妹公司。

As per the CoinDesk report, Alameda's balance sheet relied heavily on the FTT currency, a crypto token launched by FTX. Alameda had massive trading positions on the FTT coin and as news of the questionable balance sheets spread, the FTT token's price plunged.

根據Coindesk的報告，Alameda的資產負債表在很大程度上依賴FTT Currency，這是FTX發起的加密代幣。阿拉米達（Alameda）在FTT硬幣上擁有巨大的交易職位，並且隨著可疑資產負債表蔓延的消息，FTT代幣的價格下跌。

Customers rushed to withdraw their funds from FTX, but the exchange was short of some $8 billion. By Nov. 11, 2022, dozens of entities with exposure to the exchange filed for bankruptcy protection.

客戶急於從FTX中撤回其資金，但交易所不足約80億美元。到2022年11月11日，數十個實體，暴露於破產保護的交易所。

He was arrested in December 2022 in the Bahamas and U.S. prosecutors filed charges against the fallen FTX founder, ranging from money laundering to wire fraud.

他於2022年12月在巴哈馬被捕，美國檢察官對墮落的FTX創始人提起訴訟，從洗錢到電匯欺詐。

Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda and also a former flame of SBF, was the prosecution's star witness during the SBF trial. She revealed how Bankman-Fried knowingly created a crypto empire that didn't have the necessary foundations for a viable business.

阿拉米達（Alameda）的前首席執行官卡羅琳·埃里森（Caroline Ellison）也是SBF的前火焰，在SBF審判期間是檢方的明星證人。她透露了班克曼（Bankman）如何有意識地創建一個沒有可行業務必要基礎的加密帝國。

While many people shunned Ulbricht due to the revelations related to the use of Silk Road for illegal product sales, the ramifications of FTX's collapse were immensely devastating as it included the fall of some crypto firms and entities exposed to the FTX exchange without prior knowledge of its poorly-founded structure.

儘管許多人由於與使用絲綢之路的非法產品銷售有關的啟示而迴避了Ulbricht，但FTX崩潰的後果造成了極大的毀滅性，因為它包括一些加密貨幣公司和實體的衰落，而在沒有其先驗知識的FTX交易所的衰落中結構不佳。

Since the #FreeRoss movement started after Ulbricht was thrown into prison, many crypto users gradually warmed up to him and through the years, even key crypto figures called for his release. He was faced with two life sentences for the Silk Road saga, while SBF was sentenced to 25 years. However, nearly a year since Bankman-Fried's conviction, there has been no sign of a #FreeSam movement.

由於#Freeross運動在Ulbricht被扔進監獄後開始，許多加密使用者逐漸向他熱身，而且多年來，甚至Key Crypto人物都要求他釋放。他面臨兩次絲綢之路傳奇的無期徒刑，而SBF被判處25年。但是，自Bankman Fried的定罪以來將近一年，沒有#FREESAM運動的跡象。

Many crypto figures believe SBF's actions and leadership of the deeply-corrupted exchange is a key reason why regulators are hot on the heels of crypto businesses even if they are operating legally or within the bounds of regulation.

許多加密貨幣人物認為，SBF的行動和對深度腐敗的交流的領導和領導是監管機構在加密貨幣企業緊隨其後的關鍵原因，即使他們在合法地運營或在監管的範圍內。

Outrage within Crypto Community Over Report

加密社區對報告的憤怒

Prominent crypto sleuth ZachXBT had a harsh reaction to the report that SBF's parents want a pardon for their son. "No they should lock his parents up as well," he wrote, along with a screenshot of a report regarding SBF's parents allegedly having helped their "run their son's crypto empire, and that for their work – some official, some unofficial – they were handsomely rewarded."

著名的加密偵探Zachxbt對報告的報告表明，SBF的父母想要赦免他們的兒子。他寫道：“不，他們也應該把父母鎖起來。”據稱SBF的父母曾幫助他們的“經營兒子的加密帝國”的屏幕截圖，而他們的工作- 有些官方，有些非正式的- 他們是豐富的回報。”
