CoinDesk 倒闭：一群骗子和无能​​者谋杀了加密货币领域最值得信赖的新闻媒体

CoinDesk 为读者和行业节省了数百万美元，最引人注目的是帮助揭露、查获并追究 2021-2022 年诈骗浪潮的人物，包括 Do Kwon（我个人对他有一些功劳）和 Sam Bankman -油煎。

CoinDesk, a major cryptocurrency news outlet, has fired three key newsroom leaders, prompting outrage and concern over the outlet's future.

主要的加密货币新闻媒体 CoinDesk 解雇了三名主要新闻编辑室负责人，引发了人们对该媒体未来的愤怒和担忧。

According to Fortune, CoinDesk fired Nick Baker, Marc Hochstein, and Kevin Reynolds on Monday. Baker led the reporting that exposed and ultimately led to the downfall of FTX and its former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried. Hochstein oversaw the opinion and magazine section, while Reynolds was the editor in chief.

据《财富》杂志报道，CoinDesk 周一解雇了 Nick Baker、Marc Hochstein 和 Kevin Reynolds。 Baker 领导的报道揭露并最终导致了 FTX 及其前首席执行官 Sam Bankman-Fried 的垮台。霍赫斯坦负责评论和杂志部分，雷诺兹担任主编。

The firings were reportedly related to an attempt by CoinDesk and Bullish executives to misdirect attention from editorial interference. Specifically, they pulled a story about Justin Sun eating a banana, which was reportedly ordered by Bullish CEO Tom Farley. According to a letter from staff leaked to The Block, Bullish has been interfering with editorial decisions for some time, particularly by blocking the team's ability to publish op-eds.

据报道，此次解雇与 CoinDesk 和 Bullish 高管试图误导编辑干扰的注意力有关。具体来说，他们提取了孙宇晨吃香蕉的故事，据报道，这是 Bullish 首席执行官汤姆·法利 (Tom Farley) 订购的。根据泄露给 The Block 的一封员工信，Bullish 一段时间以来一直在干扰编辑决策，特别是阻止团队发表专栏文章。

CoinDesk was sold to Bullish in 2023 for $75 million, and the outlet's editorial independence has been a subject of concern ever since. Bullish is a spot crypto exchange that ranks 92nd in global volume and is only able to operate because of the massive war chest raised in the 2017 Initial Coin Offering for EOS, a would-be Ethereum competitor that never meaningfully got off the ground. Both Larimer and the shell company Block.One abandoned EOS and the funds within just a few years.

CoinDesk 于 2023 年以 7500 万美元的价格卖给 Bullish，自那以后，该媒体的编辑独立性一直备受关注。 Bullish 是一家现货加密货币交易所，在全球交易量中排名第 92 位，之所以能够运营，是因为 2017 年 EOS 首次代币发行筹集了巨额资金，而 EOS 是以太坊的潜在竞争对手，但从未真正起步。 Larimer 和空壳公司 Block.One 在短短几年内就放弃了 EOS 和基金。

Despite the SEC's decision, EOS was essentially shut down in 2021, and Block.One's executives moved on to other ventures. Meanwhile, the funds raised in the offering were used to set up Bullish, which began operating in 2024. Block.One's executives, including cofounder Brock Pierce, also joined Bullish.

尽管 SEC 做出了决定，EOS 仍于 2021 年基本关闭，Block.One 的高管也转向了其他企业。同时，此次发行筹集的资金用于成立 Bullish，该公司于 2024 年开始运营。Block.One 的高管，包括联合创始人布洛克·皮尔斯 (Brock Pierce) 也加入了 Bullish。

Bullish is led by Farley, a former president of the New York Stock Exchange, and CFO David Bonanno. Bonanno joined Bullish from Block.One, where he was also CFO.

Bullish 由纽约证券交易所前总裁 Farley 和首席财务官 David Bonanno 领导。博南诺 (Bonanno) 从 Block.One 加入 Bullish，并担任首席财务官。
