Bankman-Fried's Cooperation Sought in $1.3 Million FTX Civil Lawsuit

Bankman-Fried 在 130 万美元的 FTX 民事诉讼中寻求合作

New York, NY - April 20, 2024 - A proposed settlement in the ongoing civil lawsuit against FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried and various celebrity promoters offers a glimmer of relief for the disgraced founder. Under the terms of the agreement, Bankman-Fried would provide extensive cooperation to plaintiffs' attorneys in exchange for the dismissal of existing and potential future claims against him.

纽约州纽约 - 2024 年 4 月 20 日 - 针对 FTX 联合创始人 Sam Bankman-Fried 和多位名人发起人的正在进行的民事诉讼中提出的和解方案，为这位名誉扫地的创始人带来了一线曙光。根据协议条款，班克曼-弗里德将向原告律师提供广泛的合作，以换取驳回针对他的现有和未来潜在的索赔。

The civil lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of Florida, consolidates multiple lawsuits against FTX promoters and insiders. Among the defendants are high-profile celebrities such as former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal, former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, and supermodel Gisele Bundchen. Plaintiffs allege that these celebrities openly promoted FTX, enticing countless individuals to invest in the now-defunct exchange.

这起民事诉讼在佛罗里达州南区提起，合并了针对 FTX 发起人和内部人士的多起诉讼。被告中包括前 NBA 球星沙奎尔·奥尼尔、前 NFL 四分卫汤姆·布雷迪和超模吉赛尔·邦辰等知名名人。原告声称，这些名人公开宣传 FTX，吸引无数个人投资这个现已不复存在的交易所。

To secure the settlement, Bankman-Fried must furnish plaintiffs with detailed information about FTX-related entities, venture capital firms invested in the exchange, and the accountants and attorneys involved in the company's operations. Additionally, he must provide nonprivileged documents outlining his investments in the AI company Anthropic and an affidavit confirming his negative net worth.

为了确保和解，Bankman-Fried 必须向原告提供有关 FTX 相关实体、投资该交易所的风险投资公司以及参与公司运营的会计师和律师的详细信息。此外，他还必须提供非特权文件，概述他对人工智能公司 Anthropic 的投资，以及一份确认其负净资产的宣誓书。

In return for Bankman-Fried's cooperation, plaintiffs have agreed to drop their claims against him. However, some acknowledge that this shift in focus could introduce uncertainty regarding the outcome of the case. The final decision on whether to approve the settlement rests with the presiding judge.

作为对班克曼-弗里德合作的回报，原告同意放弃对他的索赔。然而，一些人承认，这种焦点的转变可能会给案件结果带来不确定性。是否批准和解的最终决定权由主审法官决定。

Meanwhile, Bankman-Fried continues to appeal his 25-year prison sentence for criminal charges related to FTX's collapse. The civil lawsuit is separate from the criminal case and represents a significant effort to hold Bankman-Fried accountable for his alleged role in the exchange's downfall.

与此同时，Bankman-Fried 继续对因与 FTX 倒闭相关的刑事指控而被判处 25 年徒刑提出上诉。这起民事诉讼与刑事案件是分开的，是为了追究班克曼-弗里德在交易所垮台中所扮演的角色的重大责任。

Conclusion

结论

The proposed settlement in the FTX civil lawsuit represents a significant development in the aftermath of the exchange's collapse. While Bankman-Fried's cooperation could provide valuable insights into the events leading up to FTX's demise, it remains to be seen whether the settlement will fully absolve him of civil liability. The ongoing civil lawsuit and the senators' scrutiny of the CFTC highlight the ongoing efforts to hold accountable those responsible for the devastating losses suffered by FTX investors.

FTX 民事诉讼中拟议的和解代表了该交易所倒闭后的重大进展。虽然 Bankman-Fried 的合作可以为导致 FTX 灭亡的事件提供有价值的见解，但和解协议是否会完全免除他的民事责任仍有待观察。正在进行的民事诉讼和参议员对 CFTC 的审查突显了正在努力追究那些对 FTX 投资者遭受的毁灭性损失负责的人的责任。
