山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）炸了政治捐贈，對從唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）獲得總統赦免表示樂觀

被已解散的加密貨幣交易所FTX的前首席執行官Sam Bankman Fried詳細介紹了他的政治捐款，並對從唐納德·特朗普獲得總統赦免表示樂觀。

Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is hoping for a presidential pardon from Donald Trump, despite having donated heavily to Democratic candidates in the past.

FTX前首席執行官薩姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）弗里德（Sam Bankman Fried）希望從唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）獲得總統赦免，儘管過去曾向民主黨候選人捐款。

In an interview with The New York Sun, Bankman-Fried said he donated to the Democratic Party in the 2020 election to counter the influence of Bernie Sanders. He also said he donated a total of nearly $40 million to political candidates and PACs in 2022.

班克曼在接受紐約太陽的採訪時說，他在2020年大選中向民主黨捐款，以應對伯尼·桑德斯的影響。他還說，他在2022年向政治候選人和PAC捐贈了近4000萬美元。

Bankman-Fried was a vocal supporter of Biden in the 2020 election, and he donated millions to groups opposing Trump. However, in the interview, he said his views have shifted toward保守派 politics in recent years.

班克曼（Bankman）在2020年大選中是拜登（Biden）的聲音支持者，他向反對特朗普的團體捐贈了數百萬美元。但是，他在採訪中說，近年來，他的觀點轉向了保守派政治。

“I viewed myself at the time as sort of center-left, and that’s not how I view myself anymore,” he said. “I became really frustrated and disappointed with what I saw of the Biden administration and the Democratic Party. Particularly on crypto policy, the Biden administration was just incredibly destructive and difficult to work with. I think my case fits into that broader context.”

他說：“當時我將自己視為左翼的某種中心，這不再是我對自己的看法。” “我對拜登政府和民主黨的看法感到非常沮喪和失望。尤其是在加密政策上，拜登政府只是具有令人難以置信的破壞性，難以合作。我認為我的案件適合更廣泛的背景。”

Bankman-Fried has been trying to secure his release from prison since FTX collapsed. His efforts intensified after President Trump recently pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. According to Bloomberg, Bankman-Fried’s parents are also exploring the possibility of securing a presidential pardon for their son.

自FTX倒塌以來，Bankman Fried一直試圖確保他從監獄釋放。在特朗普總統最近赦免了絲綢之路創始人羅斯·烏爾布里希特（Ross Ulbricht）之後，他的努力加劇了。根據彭博社的說法，Bankman-Fried的父母還在探索為兒子確保總統赦免的可能性。

Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in March 2024 for his role in the collapse of FTX. The “punishment must fit the seriousness of the crime, and this was a serious crime,” Judge Lewis A. Kaplan said at the sentencing. Kaplan also called SBF’s performance during the trial “evasive” and “hair-splitting.”

山姆·班克曼（Sam Bankman）的炸薯條在2024年3月因在FTX倒閉中的角色而被判處25年。劉易斯·A·卡普蘭（Lewis A.卡普蘭在審判中還稱SBF的表現為“逃避”和“發毛”。

“I have been doing this job for close to 30 years. I have never seen a performance like that,” Kaplan said.

“我從事這項工作已有近30年了。我從未見過這樣的表演，”卡普蘭說。

It is unclear if this narrative will be enough to convince President Trump. While Bankman-Fried is now saying he donated to共和党 causes, he also donated millions to support the candidate running against Trump. As a result, despite SBF’s insistence on his innocence, the chances of a pardon appear to be slim.

目前尚不清楚這種敘述是否足以說服特朗普總統。雖然Bankman Fried現在說他捐贈給了共和黨事業，但他還捐贈了數百萬美元，以支持對陣特朗普的候選人。結果，儘管SBF堅持自己的純真，但赦免的機會似乎很苗條。
