FTX 继任者谴责 Bankman-Fried 请求宽大处理

面临着可能被判处 40 至 50 年监禁的情况，名誉扫地的加密货币首席执行官 Sam Bankman-Fried 寻求将刑期缩短至 6.5 年，理由是他最初的刑期过重，并声称对客户造成零伤害。然而，FTX 现任首席执行官 John Ray 强烈反对，声称 Bankman-Fried 的声明“明显错误”，对投资者造成的伤害是重大且持续的。

Sam Bankman-Fried's Plea for Leniency Met with Scorn from FTX Successor

Sam Bankman-Fried 请求宽大处理遭到 FTX 继任者的蔑视

Ahead of his scheduled sentencing on March 28, disgraced FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has attempted to reduce his potential 40-to-50-year prison term to a mere 6.5 years.

在预定于 3 月 28 日宣判之前，名誉扫地的 FTX 首席执行官 Sam Bankman-Fried 试图将他可能的 40 至 50 年监禁减少到仅仅 6.5 年。

In documents submitted to the court, Bankman-Fried asserted that the initial sentencing proposal "distorts reality" by portraying him as a "depraved super-villain." He further claimed that the "loss" and "harm" suffered by his customers was "zero," a proposition that has raised skepticism given the collapse of FTX in 2022.

在提交给法庭的文件中，班克曼-弗里德声称，最初的量刑建议将他描绘成一个“堕落的超级恶棍”，从而“扭曲了现实”。他进一步声称，他的客户遭受的“损失”和“伤害”是“零”，鉴于 FTX 在 2022 年崩溃，这一说法引起了怀疑。

However, these claims have been vehemently disputed by Bankman-Fried's successor, FTX CEO John Ray, in a letter to the judge. Ray characterized Bankman-Fried's assertions as "demonstrably false" and accused him of "continuing to live a life of delusion."

然而，班克曼-弗里德的继任者、FTX 首席执行官约翰·雷 (John Ray) 在给法官的一封信中对这些说法提出了强烈质疑。雷将班克曼-弗里德的说法描述为“明显错误”，并指责他“继续过着妄想的生活”。

"Bankman-Fried was willing to consider any narrative, including wildly conflicting narratives, that could potentially save him from this day of reckoning," Ray wrote.

雷写道：“班克曼-弗里德愿意考虑任何可能使他免遭清算的叙述，包括极其矛盾的叙述。”

Ray's comments underscore FTX's efforts to distance itself from Bankman-Fried, whose actions led to the company's collapse and subsequent Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Court documents have revealed that Bankman-Fried and his associates allegedly misappropriated billions of dollars from FTX users, mishandling funds with reckless abandon.

Ray 的言论凸显了 FTX 与 Bankman-Fried 保持距离的努力，Bankman-Fried 的行为导致该公司倒闭并随后根据美国破产法第 11 章破产。法庭文件显示，Bankman-Fried 及其同伙涉嫌从 FTX 用户那里挪用了数十亿美元，不计后果地不当处理资金。

Approximately a year after FTX's implosion, Bankman-Fried was convicted on all seven counts against him, including wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

FTX 崩溃大约一年后，Bankman-Fried 被判犯有全部七项罪名，包括电汇欺诈、共谋实施电汇欺诈和共谋洗钱。

Since its collapse, FTX has been in the process of liquidating its assets to compensate investors. Ray, a seasoned Wall Street bankruptcy attorney, was appointed to lead the company through this challenging process.

自倒闭以来，FTX 一直在清算其资产以补偿投资者。雷是一位经验丰富的华尔街破产律师，他被任命领导公司度过这一充满挑战的过程。

Despite Bankman-Fried's claims of remorse and efforts to recover some of the stolen funds, Ray maintains that the former CEO remains culpable for the significant harm inflicted on FTX customers.

尽管 Bankman-Fried 声称悔罪并努力追回部分被盗资金，但 Ray 坚称，这位前首席执行官仍然对 FTX 客户遭受的重大伤害负有责任。

"There are plenty of things we did not get back, like the bribes to Chinese officials or the hundreds of millions of dollars he spent to buy access to or time with celebrities or politicians or investments for which he grossly overpaid having done zero diligence," Ray wrote.

“有很多东西我们没有拿回来，比如向中国官员行贿，或者他花费数亿美元购买与名人或政客的接触或时间，或者他在零尽职调查的情况下为这些投资付出了严重过高的代价。”雷写道。

Moreover, customers are expressing frustration, particularly given the recent surge in the value of Bitcoin. They argue that they should be compensated with cryptocurrencies, which have appreciated considerably since FTX's collapse.

此外，客户也表达了不满，特别是考虑到最近比特币价值的飙升。他们认为，他们应该得到加密货币的补偿，自 FTX 倒闭以来，加密货币已经大幅升值。

"They believe they should receive something closer to today's value," Ray stated.

“他们相信他们应该收到更接近今天价值的东西，”雷说。

The fate of Bankman-Fried's sentencing remains uncertain, with the judge set to issue a ruling next week. However, given the overwhelming evidence against him, it appears unlikely that he will escape with a lenient sentence.

班克曼-弗里德的判决命运仍不确定，法官将于下周发布裁决。然而，鉴于对他不利的证据确凿，他似乎不太可能获得从轻处罚。
