FTX数字资产交换的主要客户最终将 - 不，真的 - 开始收到他们的长期还款

已停产的FTX数字资产交易所的主要客户最终将 - 不，真的 - 开始收到他们的长期偿还，而创始人Sam Bankman Fried（SBF）继续坚持下去

Major customers of the defunct FTX digital asset exchange will finally—no, really—start receiving their long-overdue repayments, while founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) continues to hold out faint hope for a Trump pardon.

已停产的FTX数字资产交易所的主要客户最终将开始接受他们的长期偿还，而创始人Sam Bankman Fried（SBF）继续为特朗普赦免带来微弱的希望。

Late last week, Bloomberg reported on a Delaware bankruptcy court proceeding in which FTX Debtors confirmed that on May 30, it will start distributing some $11.4 billion of recovered funds to FTX’s ‘major’ creditors (those owed more than $50,000). Smaller creditors began receiving payments in February, 16 months after FTX collapsed in a scandal in late 2022.

上周晚些时候，彭博社报道了特拉华州的破产法院诉讼程序，其中FTX债务人确认，5月30日，它将开始向FTX的“主要”债权人分配约114亿美元的收回资金（欠款超过50,000美元）。较小的债权人于2022年底在FTX倒塌后16个月开始收取付款。

Initially, it appeared that FTX creditors—regardless of the size of their claims—would receive only a fraction of their tokens’ fiat value. But the significant appreciation in fiat value of major tokens like BTC since the dark days of ‘crypto winter’ offered hope that creditors would receive the full value of their stranded holdings.

最初，似乎FTX债权人（不占主张的规模）仅收到其代币菲亚特价值的一小部分。但是，自“加密冬季”的黑暗时代以来，BTC等主要代币的法定价值的大幅度赞赏为债权人提供了滞留的股份的全部价值。

But FTX customers are only receiving the dollar value of their tokens at the time of FTX’s bankruptcy, meaning they miss out on all the value gains since November 2022. This isn’t sitting well with customers who wanted to receive ‘in-kind’ distributions rather than a frozen-in-time dollar conversion.

但是，FTX客户仅在FTX破产时就获得了代币的美元价值，这意味着他们错过了自2022年11月以来的所有价值上涨。这与希望接收“ In-Kind”分销的客户不满意，而不是畅通无阻的美元转换。

But the challenges facing FTX Debtors are legion, as detailed by bankruptcy attorney Andrew Dietderich, who said FTX Debtors had received “27 quintillion” claims against the assets it holds. While many of those claims are duplicates or fraudulent, creditors are entitled to 9% annual interest on the value of their claims. So, the longer this process drags out, the greater the value of these larger claims.

但是，FTX债务人面临的挑战是军团，这是破产律师安德鲁·迪特里奇（Andrew Dietderich）所详述的，他说，FTX债务人已对其持有的资产收到了“ 27千亿美元”的要求。尽管其中许多索赔是重复的或欺诈性的，但债权人有权根据其索赔价值获得9％的年利息。因此，此过程拖延的时间越长，这些较大的主张的价值就越大。

Further complicating the process, payouts to creditors based in certain countries—including Russia, China, Egypt, Nigeria, and Ukraine—were deemed ineligible, although FTX Debtors is said to be ‘reviewing’ its options to get funds to these creditors. Of these blocked jurisdictions, China held the largest slice of funds owed at 8%.

进一步使整个过程变得更加复杂，支付某些国家的债权人（包括俄罗斯，中国，埃及，尼日利亚和乌克兰）被认为是不合格的，尽管据说FTX债务人正在“审查”其向这些债权人获得资金的选择。在这些被阻止的司法管辖区中，中国持有最大的欠款率为8％。

Also growing are the fees the bankruptcy attorneys are collecting. In February, Bloomberg reported that the total sum paid to law firms handling FTX’s bankruptcy process was $948 million, making it one of the largest such paydays in U.S. history. The record (nearly $6 billion) is held by the bankruptcy of Wall Street financial giant Lehman Brothers following the 2008 global economic meltdown.

破产律师正在收取的费用也在增长。 2月，彭博社报告说，处理FTX破产流程的律师事务所支付的总额为9.48亿美元，使其成为美国历史上最大的此类薪水之一。在2008年全球经济崩溃之后，华尔街金融巨头雷曼兄弟（Lehman Brothers）破产的记录（近60亿美元）持有。

The largest chunk ($306 million) of this nearly billion-dollar legal windfall has gone to the firm of Alvarez and Marsal, which is advising FTX Debtors. The controversial Sullivan & Cromwell firm claimed $248.6 million, while firms representing FTX customers have received over $110 million. The consulting firm of John J. Ray III, the court-appointed CEO of FTX Debtors, has collected over $8 million.

在这一近十亿美元的法律意外收获中，最大的一部分（3.06亿美元）交给了Alvarez和Marsal的公司，该公司正在为FTX债务人提供建议。备受争议的Sullivan＆Cromwell公司声称拥有2.486亿美元，而代表FTX客户的公司收到了超过1.1亿美元。 FTX债务人的法院首席执行官John J. Ray III的咨询公司已收取超过800万美元。

SBF sees his prison shadow, faces 24 more years of winter

SBF看到了他的监狱影子，面对冬天24年

SBF, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison one year ago this week, was moved from his home at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn to a Federal Transfer Center (FTC) in Oklahoma on March 27. While the Federal Bureau of Prisons doesn’t offer explanations as to why it transfers prisoners, there are clues as to why SBF might be destined for a new permanent home.

SBF于本周一年前被判处25年监禁，他于3月27日从位于布鲁克林的大都会拘留中心（MDC）搬到了俄克拉荷马州的联邦转会中心（FTC）。

After staying on the downlow following his sentence, SBF began something of a media tour following Donald Trump’s inauguration as U.S. president in January, starting with a February 20 audio interview with the New York Sun. Four days later, SBF tweeted for the first time in two years, disclosing that “being unemployed is a lot less relaxing than it looks.”

在他的刑期之后，SBF呆在下垂之后，唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在1月担任美国总统之后，开始了一次媒体巡回演出，从2月20日对纽约太阳的音频采访开始。四天后，SBF两年来首次发推文，并透露“失业的放松要比看起来要少得多。”

In early March, the day before SBF turned 33, SBF granted conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson an interview in which SBF appeared via video from his MDC cell. This appears to have been the final straw for federal officials, given that SBF hadn’s cleared the interview with MDC staff in advance as he was required to do. SBF was reportedly put in solitary confinement at MDC after the interview was made public.

3月初，即SBF 33岁的前一天，SBF授予了保守的Podcaster Tucker Carlson采访，SBF通过他的MDC Cell的视频出现。鉴于SBF Hadn在对MDC工作人员的采访中清除了他的采访，这似乎是联邦官员的最后一根稻草。据报道，在采访公开后，SBF在MDC被单独监禁。

Last May, SBF was briefly transferred to the FTC—the waystation for federal prisoners on the move—before being returned to MDC. At the time, it was thought the move might presage SBF being transferred to a federal prison in California in order to be closer to his parents, although this theory ultimately proved unfounded. His ‘forever’ home remains unclear at this point.

去年五月，SBF被短暂转移到FTC（联邦囚犯的行驶之路），然后再返回MDC。当时，人们认为此举可能会预示SBF被转移到加利福尼亚州的联邦监狱，以便与他的父母更亲近，尽管该理论最终证明是没有根据的。在这一点上，他的“永远”的家还不清楚。

As for the content of SBF’s media blitz, he’s trying to rebrand himself as having been a closet conservative all along, presumably in the hope of securing a pardon from Trump. During the administration of Trump’s predecessor, SBF made conspicuous contributions to Democratic causes

至于SBF媒体闪电战的内容，他一直试图重塑自己一直是保守派的壁橱，大概是为了从特朗普那里获得赦免。在特朗普的前任管理期间，SBF对民主事业做出了明显的贡献
