在向联邦调查局提供抓捕加密骗子的工具后，加里·王（Gary Wang）不会入狱

FTX 数字资产交易所的联合创始人在向美国联邦政府提供识别传统证券和加密货币欺诈交易的工具后不会入狱。

Gary Wang, co-founder of the collapsed FTX digital asset exchange, was sentenced on Monday to time served and three years of supervised release for his role in the massive fraud that led to the exchange’s closure in November 2022.

倒闭的 FTX 数字资产交易所联合创始人加里·王 (Gary Wang) 因参与导致该交易所于 2022 年 11 月关闭的大规模欺诈行为，于周一被判处服刑并受监管三年。

Wang, who was arrested shortly after FTX’s collapse, was charged with conspiracy to commit fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, and conspiracy to commit securities fraud.

王在 FTX 倒闭后不久被捕，被指控串谋实施欺诈、电汇欺诈、串谋实施商品欺诈和串谋实施证券欺诈。

The former CTO of FTX quickly pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York (SDNY). He was the first FTX criminal defendant to cooperate, leading prosecutors to argue for leniency from U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in a pre-sentencing memo earlier this month.

FTX前首席技术官很快认罪，并同意与美国纽约南区检察官办公室（SDNY）检察官合作。他是第一位合作的 FTX 刑事被告，促使检察官在本月早些时候的一份量刑前备忘录中要求美国地区法官刘易斯·卡普兰 (Lewis Kaplan) 宽大处理。

On Monday, Kaplan agreed, telling Wang he was “entitled to a world of credit” due to “the extent of your cooperation.” (More on this below). Kaplan also noted that Wang didn’t become aware of the extent of FTX’s malfeasance until much later than some of his former colleagues.

周一，卡普兰同意了，并告诉王，由于“你们的合作程度”，他“有权获得信用世界”。 （更多内容见下文）。卡普兰还指出，王比他的一些前同事晚得多才意识到 FTX 不法行为的严重程度。

Wang, who told Kaplan he’d taken “the easy path, the cowardly path, instead of doing the right thing,” was the fifth and final FTX exec to be sentenced by Kaplan in the wake of the exchange’s demise.

王告诉卡普兰，他选择了“简单的、懦弱的道路，而不是做正确的事”，他是卡普兰在交易所倒闭后第五位也是最后一位被判刑的 FTX 高管。

Former director of engineering Nishad Singh, who also cooperated with prosecutors, received a similar time-served sentence on October 30.

同样与检察官合作的前工程总监 Nishad Singh 于 10 月 30 日被判处类似的缓刑。

Caroline Ellison, the final CEO of FTX’s affiliated market-maker Alameda Research, began serving her two-year prison sentence earlier this month. Like Singh and Wang, Ellison cooperated with prosecutors but Kaplan said her involvement in the fraud was too great to allow her a ‘get out of jail free’ card.

FTX 附属做市商 Alameda Research 的最后任首席执行官卡罗琳·埃里森 (Caroline Ellison) 于本月初开始服刑两年。与辛格和王一样，埃里森也与检察官合作，但卡普兰表示，她参与欺诈的程度太大，无法让她获得“免狱”卡。

Former FTX Digital Markets CEO Ryan Salame began serving his 90-month sentence last month after a strange sequence of events that included a guilty plea, an attempt to withdraw that plea and some harsh words from Kaplan as to why Salame signed papers admitting his guilt only to loudly proclaim his innocence on social media while awaiting his sentence.

FTX Digital Markets 前首席执行官 Ryan Salame 上个月开始服刑 90 个月，此前发生了一系列奇怪的事件，其中包括认罪、试图撤回认罪以及 Kaplan 对 Salame 为何只签署文件承认有罪的严厉言论在等待判决期间，他在社交媒体上大声宣称自己无罪。

And of course, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) is doing 25 years in federal prison after mounting an ill-advised defense in which he attempted to deflect blame and diminish the impact of his fraud.

当然，FTX 创始人 Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) 在进行不明智的辩护后，试图转移责任并减少其欺诈行为的影响，目前正在联邦监狱服刑 25 年。

Indeed, SBF’s defense was judged so inept it was puzzling to read that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs recently hired one of SBF’s trial attorneys to assist his defense of multiple sex trafficking charges. Combs and SBF are currently both housed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

事实上，SBF 的辩护被认为是如此无能，以至于读到“吹牛老爹”肖恩·库姆斯 (Sean 'Diddy' Combs) 最近聘请了 SBF 的一名出庭律师来协助他为多项性贩运指控进行辩护，这令人费解。库姆斯和 SBF 目前均被关押在布鲁克林大都会拘留中心。

Clearly, the three execs who cooperated with the feds fared far better than the pair who tried to downplay the severity of their crimes. With SBF biographer Michael Lewis having recently signed a deal to bring his Going Infinite book to the big screen—and Lena Dunham set to write the screenplay—we’ll just have to wait to see how Hollywood sorts this quintet into heroes and villains.

显然，与联邦调查局合作的三名高管的表现远远好于试图淡化罪行严重性的两名高管。 SBF 传记作家迈克尔·刘易斯 (Michael Lewis) 最近签署了一项协议，将他的《无限》一书搬上大银幕，而莉娜·邓纳姆 (Lena Dunham) 也将撰写剧本，我们只需拭目以待，看看好莱坞如何将这五人组分为英雄和恶棍。

Tools of the troubled tradeGetting back to Wang’s cooperation with the SDNY, the prosecutors suggested his assistance might lead to a bevy of future prosecutions against those engaging in the kind of transactional chicanery that brought FTX to ruin.

陷入困境的交易的工具回到王与 SDNY 的合作，检察官表示，他的协助可能会导致未来对那些参与导致 FTX 破产的交易欺诈行为的人进行一系列起诉。

The SDNY praised Wang’s willingness to expose SBF’s lies about how much the latter understood of the technical ‘backdoors’ that Wang had built between FTX and Alameda. These backdoors allowed Alameda to plunder billions from FTX customer accounts to cover losses stemming from Alameda’s loss-making token trades.

SDNY 赞扬 Wang 愿意揭露 SBF 的谎言，即后者对 Wang 在 FTX 和 Alameda 之间建立的技术“后门”有多少了解。这些后门允许 Alameda 从 FTX 客户账户中掠夺数十亿美元，以弥补 Alameda 亏损的代币交易造成的损失。

But prosecutors said Wang put his “extraordinary computer programing skills” into building tools to detect “potential fraud in the stock and cryptocurrency markets.” The SDNY said Wang “has built an interface that the Government has begun using for detecting potential fraud by publicly traded companies.”

但检察官表示，王将他“非凡的计算机编程技能”用于构建工具来检测“股票和加密货币市场中的潜在欺诈行为”。 SDNY 表示，王“已经建立了一个界面，政府已开始使用该界面来检测上市公司的潜在欺诈行为。”

Wang is also building “a tool for detection of potential illegal activity in cryptocurrency markets,” something the SDNY says Wang will be able to finish “as part of his ongoing cooperation” now that he’s been spared jail time. Sadly, specifics of these tools were redacted from the filing but the SDNY appears excited at the opportunities the tools apparently can and will provide.

Wang 还在开发“一种用于检测加密货币市场中潜在非法活动的工具”，SDNY 表示，由于 Wang 已经免于入狱，“作为其持续合作的一部分”，他将能够完成这一工作。遗憾的是，这些工具的具体细节已从文件中删除，但 SDNY 似乎对这些工具显然能够并将提供的机会感到兴奋。

During Wang’s Monday court appearance, Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos told Kaplan the SDNY had some non-public charges it was preparing to file against unspecified companies based on information that would have been much easier to detect had Wang’s tools been available earlier.

在王周一出庭期间，美国助理检察官尼古拉斯·鲁斯 (Nicolas Roos) 告诉卡普兰，SDNY 正准备对未指明的公司提出一些非公开指控，这些指控的依据是如果王的工具早点可用的话，这些信息会更容易被发现。

Of course, there will be a new U.S. Attorney for the SDNY as of January, with president-elect Donald Trump having already named former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chief Jay Clayton to head up the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) primary eye on America’s financial heart. Clayton had a mixed stance toward digital assets during his SEC tenure but appears to have taken a far more favorable approach since leaving government in December 2020.

当然，从一月份起，纽约市将有一位新的美国检察官，当选总统唐纳德·特朗普已经任命前证券交易委员会 (SEC) 主席杰伊·克莱顿 (Jay Clayton) 领导司法部 (DOJ) 的主要负责人美国的金融心脏。克莱顿在 SEC 任职期间对数字资产持不同立场，但自 2020 年 12 月离开政府以来似乎采取了更为有利的态度。
