SBF 命運：加密貨幣大亨的入獄時間值得爭論

被定罪的前億萬富翁 Sam Bankman-Fried 因透過其加密貨幣交易所 FTX 詐騙客戶和洗錢而於週四面臨判決。檢察官尋求判處 40 至 50 年徒刑，而班克曼-弗里德的律師則認為刑期過重。破產後清理主管約翰·J·雷三世(John J. Ray III) 駁斥了班克曼·弗里德的說法，強調提出的巨額索賠（23.6 萬億美元）、資金被盜以及完全無視法律，使受害者獲得全額賠償的希望渺茫。

薩姆·班克曼-弗里德的命運：這位加密貨幣大亨還要面臨多少時間？

Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced FTX founder, is set to face sentencing this Thursday for his role in orchestrating a multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency fraud. Prosecutors have requested a prison term of up to 50 years, but Bankman-Fried's defense team argues that such a sentence is excessive.

名譽掃地的 FTX 創始人薩姆·班克曼-弗里德 (Sam Bankman-Fried) 將於本週四因策劃數十億美元的加密貨幣欺詐案而面臨判決。檢察官要求判處最高 50 年徒刑，但班克曼-弗里德的辯護團隊認為這樣的刑期過重。

Bankruptcy Cleanup Expert Debunks Bankman-Fried's Claims

破產清理專家揭穿班克曼-弗里德的主張

John J. Ray III, the post-bankruptcy cleanup executive for FTX, has vigorously refuted Bankman-Fried's arguments in a scathing letter to the sentencing judge. Ray highlights the staggering financial losses suffered by FTX victims, with claims reaching a mind-boggling $23.6 quintillion.

FTX 破產後清理主管約翰·J·雷三世 (John J. Ray III) 在給量刑法官的一封措辭嚴厲的信中強烈反駁了班克曼-弗里德的論點。 Ray 強調了 FTX 受害者遭受的驚人經濟損失，索賠金額高達 23.6 兆美元。

"Vast sums of money were stolen by Mr. Bankman-Fried," Ray asserts. "His victims will never be fully compensated for the irreparable damage he has caused."

「班克曼-弗里德先生偷走了巨額資金，」雷斷言。 “他造成的不可挽回的損害，他的受害者永遠不會得到充分補償。”

離岸預測市場押注 SBF 的判決

隨著宣判日期的臨近，離岸預測市場正在對班克曼-弗里德的刑期進行押注。雖然他可能面臨的最高刑期超過 100 年，但大多數賭徒認為他將被判處 40 年以上的刑期。

FTX Victims: Will They Ever Recover Their Losses?

FTX 受害者：他們能挽回損失嗎？

The grim reality is that FTX victims are unlikely to ever fully recover their lost funds. Equity owners and Alameda creditors are facing near-total wipeouts. Government agencies owed taxes and fines may receive only a fraction of their claims.

嚴峻的現實是，FTX 受害者不太可能完全收回損失的資金。股權所有者和阿拉米達債權人面臨著幾乎全部破產的局面。政府機構所欠稅款和罰款可能只能收到其索賠的一小部分。

Payouts to Customers: A Pyrrhic Victory

向客戶付款：代價高昂的勝利

Any potential payouts to FTX customers will be calculated based on cryptocurrency prices from November 2022, when bitcoin was trading significantly lower. This means that even if customers technically receive "100%" of their claims, the actual value they receive will be substantially reduced due to the appreciation of crypto assets since then.

FTX 客戶的任何潛在付款都將根據 2022 年 11 月以來的加密貨幣價格計算，當時比特幣的交易價格大幅下跌。這意味著，即使客戶在技術上收到「100％」的索賠，但由於此後加密資產的升值，他們收到的實際價值將大幅減少。
