尽管 Sam Bankman-Fried 已入狱近一年，但美国政府仍试图没收与他的活动相关的加密货币

11 月 12 日星期二，美国检察官向纽约法院提起诉讼，要求返还 FTX 管理层用于行贿的数字资产

The US government is attempting to seize cryptocurrency linked to Sam Bankman-Fried's activities, despite the former FTX CEO being imprisoned for nearly a year.

尽管 FTX 前首席执行官 Sam Bankman-Fried 已被监禁近一年，但美国政府仍试图没收与 Sam Bankman-Fried 活动相关的加密货币。

On Tuesday, November 12, US prosecutors filed a civil forfeiture complaint in a New York court, seeking to seize digital assets that FTX executives allegedly used to bribe a Chinese official. The funds in question are cryptocurrency holdings — Solana, Cardano, Ripple, Internet Computer, and Avalanche — that are currently stored on the Binance exchange and valued at approximately $18,5 million.

11 月 12 日星期二，美国检察官向纽约一家法院提起民事没收申诉，寻求扣押 FTX 高管据称用来贿赂中国官员的数字资产。这些资金是加密货币资产——Solana、Cardano、Ripple、Internet Computer 和 Avalanche——目前存储在币安交易所，价值约为 1850 万美元。

Bankman-Fried is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to charges that he misused FTX customer assets for personal gain, including purchasing luxury real estate, making political donations, and engaging in risky investments. Notably, the charge related to bribing a foreign official was dropped.

Bankman-Fried 目前正在服刑 25 年，他承认滥用 FTX 客户资产谋取个人利益，包括购买豪华房地产、政治捐款和从事风险投资。值得注意的是，与贿赂外国官员有关的指控被撤销。

However, prosecutors allege that in early 2021, Chinese law enforcement froze about $1 billion in two local crypto exchange accounts belonging to FTX's affiliate trading arm, Alameda Research. In an effort to unfreeze the assets, Sam Bankman-Fried offered a bribe of Tether in the amount of $40 million to Chinese officials, according to the complaint. The Alameda accounts were subsequently unfrozen.

然而，检察官称，2021 年初，中国执法部门冻结了 FTX 附属交易部门 Alameda Research 的两个本地加密货币交易账户中约 10 亿美元的资金。起诉书称，为了解冻资产，Sam Bankman-Fried 向中国官员行贿了 Tether 4000 万美元。阿拉米达账户随后被解冻。

After confirming that the accounts had been unfrozen, prosecutors allege that Bankman-Fried authorized additional payments of tens of millions of dollars in cryptocurrency to complete the bribe payments.

在确认账户已解冻后，检察官指控班克曼-弗里德授权额外支付数千万美元的加密货币以完成贿赂。

In her testimony, former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison stated that the total bribe payments amounted to $150 million.

Alameda Research 前首席执行官卡罗琳·埃里森 (Caroline Ellison) 在证词中表示，行贿总额达 1.5 亿美元。
