Sam Bankman-Fried Sentenced to 25 Years in Prison

萨姆·班克曼-弗里德被判处 25 年监禁

In a landmark ruling, former FTX CEO Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison on seven felony charges related to the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange. The sentence was handed down by Judge Lewis Kaplan of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 28, following a lengthy trial and sentencing hearing.

在一项具有里程碑意义的裁决中，FTX 前首席执行官 Sam“SBF”Bankman-Fried 因与加密货币交易所倒闭有关的七项重罪被判处 25 年联邦监狱徒刑。经过漫长的审判和量刑听证会后，美国纽约南区地方法院法官刘易斯·卡普兰 (Lewis Kaplan) 于 3 月 28 日做出了这一判决。

Details of the Sentence

句子的细节

Judge Kaplan imposed a sentence of 240 months for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and conspiracy to commit campaign finance violations. An additional 60 months were added for operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, conspiracy to commit wire fraud affecting a financial institution, and conspiracy to commit securities fraud.

卡普兰法官因共谋实施电信欺诈、共谋洗钱和共谋违反竞选财务行为而判处 240 个月监禁。经营未经许可的汇款业务、共谋实施影响金融机构的电汇欺诈以及共谋实施证券欺诈的罪名额外增加 60 个月。

Witness Tampering and Perjury

证人篡改和伪证

During the sentencing hearing, Judge Kaplan also found that SBF had committed witness tampering and perjury. The witness tampering charges stem from SBF's attempts to contact a witness and influence their testimony after being released on bail in August 2023. The perjury charges relate to SBF's testimony during trial regarding the use of FTX user funds.

在量刑听证会上，卡普兰法官还发现SBF存在篡改证人和作伪证的行为。证人篡改指控源于 SBF 在 2023 年 8 月保释后试图联系证人并影响他们的证词。伪证指控与 SBF 在审判期间有关 FTX 用户资金使用情况的证词有关。

Significance of the Sentence

这句话的意义

SBF's sentence marks a significant milestone in the ongoing fallout from the collapse of FTX, which sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency industry last year. It is the first prison sentence handed down to an individual directly tied to the exchange's downfall.
