加密货币大亨 Bankman-Fried 因 FTX 欺诈被判 25 年监禁 - West Island Blog

In a stirring New York Federal courtroom verdict that has attracted widespread attention, Sam Bankman-Fried, the architect of the crumbled cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, has been given a 25-year prison sentence for violating the trust of his users by defrauding them. The decisive judgment was handed down by US District Judge Lewis Kaplan within the somber confines of Lower Manhattan’s federal court.

在纽约联邦法庭一项引起广泛关注的激动人心的判决中，崩溃的加密货币交易所 FTX 的架构师萨姆·班克曼·弗里德 (Sam Bankman-Fried) 被判处 25 年监禁，罪名是通过诈骗侵犯用户的信任。美国地区法官刘易斯·卡普兰 (Lewis Kaplan) 在曼哈顿下城联邦法院的阴沉氛围中做出了这一决定性判决。

Lenient arguments forwarded on behalf of Bankman-Fried were met with stringent disapproval by Judge Kaplan, who scorned the defense’s reasonings as “misleading, logically untenable, and speculative.” The Judge laid particular emphasis on Bankman-Fried’s egregious attempts to obstruct justice and tamper with witnesses during the course of his defense. These transgressions played a significant role in influencing the severity of the defendant’s sentence.

代表班克曼-弗里德提出的宽大论点遭到了卡普兰法官的严厉反对，他嘲笑辩方的推理是“误导性的、逻辑上站不住脚的和推测性的”。法官特别强调了班克曼-弗里德在辩护过程中企图妨碍司法公正和篡改证人的恶劣行为。这些违法行为对于影响被告刑罚的严重程度发挥了重要作用。

Bankman-Fried, embroiled in deep regret, issued a statement laden with remorse, admitting that his sequence of “selfish” choices, as the head of FTX, paved the way towards its disastrous downfall. He confessed his folly in having “squandered it all” — a move he rues on a daily basis in distressing retrospection.

Prosecutors, when the trial initially commenced, had advocated for a maximum sentence encompassing a half-century behind bars. Meanwhile, the legal counsel representing Bankman-Fried campaigned for a far less imposing maximum sentence, spanning only 6 years. Bankman-Fried, guilty of seven criminal charges as decreed by a court ruling in November, now finds his residence within the confines of Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

审判最初开始时，检察官主张最高刑期为监禁半个世纪。与此同时，班克曼-弗里德的代表法律顾问主张将最高刑期减轻得多，刑期仅为六年。根据法院去年 11 月的裁决，班克曼-弗里德犯有七项刑事指控，目前他的住所位于布鲁克林大都会拘留中心。

Delivering a shattering blow to his victims, prosecutors presented the court with documents depicting damning accounts of lives irreversibly damaged by Bankman-Fried’s misdeeds.

They laid bare the deep mental agony they were subjected to, leading them to severe depression and despondency, even contemplating suicide.

受害者深深地表达了他们可怕的磨难——他们如何将辛苦赚来的钱委托给 FTX 作为托管人，完全没有意识到 Bankman-Fried 代表他们承担的鲁莽的金融风险。他们揭露了自己所遭受的深深的精神痛苦，导致他们陷入严重的抑郁和沮丧，甚至考虑自杀。

The prosecution divulged during the trial that Bankman-Fried had willfully siphoned funds off FTX customers, amassing an astonishing figure rumored to be around $8 billion. Ostensibly, these funds were maneuvered to support a myriad of ventures outside of FTX, including funding political campaigns, backing speculative investment endeavors, and maintaining the extravagant lifestyle of senior FTX members.

检方在审判期间透露，Bankman-Fried 故意从 FTX 客户那里挪用资金，据传所筹集的资金数额惊人，约为 80 亿美元。表面上，这些资金被用来支持 FTX 之外的无数企业，包括资助政治运动、支持投机性投资活动以及维持 FTX 高级会员的奢侈生活方式。
