SBF 命运：加密货币大亨的入狱时间值得争论

被定罪的前亿万富翁 Sam Bankman-Fried 因通过其加密货币交易所 FTX 诈骗客户和洗钱而于周四面临判决。检察官寻求判处 40 至 50 年徒刑，而班克曼-弗里德的律师则认为刑期过重。破产后清理主管约翰·J·雷三世 (John J. Ray III) 驳斥了班克曼·弗里德的说法，强调提出的巨额索赔（23.6 万亿美元）、资金被盗以及完全无视法律，使受害者获得全额赔偿的希望渺茫。

萨姆·班克曼-弗里德的命运：这位加密货币大亨还要面临多少时间？

Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced FTX founder, is set to face sentencing this Thursday for his role in orchestrating a multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency fraud. Prosecutors have requested a prison term of up to 50 years, but Bankman-Fried's defense team argues that such a sentence is excessive.

名誉扫地的 FTX 创始人萨姆·班克曼-弗里德 (Sam Bankman-Fried) 将于本周四因策划数十亿美元的加密货币欺诈案而面临判决。检察官要求判处最高 50 年徒刑，但班克曼-弗里德的辩护团队认为这样的刑期过重。

破产清理专家揭穿班克曼-弗里德的主张

John J. Ray III, the post-bankruptcy cleanup executive for FTX, has vigorously refuted Bankman-Fried's arguments in a scathing letter to the sentencing judge. Ray highlights the staggering financial losses suffered by FTX victims, with claims reaching a mind-boggling $23.6 quintillion.

FTX 破产后清理主管约翰·J·雷三世 (John J. Ray III) 在给量刑法官的一封措辞严厉的信中强烈反驳了班克曼-弗里德的论点。 Ray 强调了 FTX 受害者遭受的惊人经济损失，索赔额高达 23.6 万亿美元。

"Vast sums of money were stolen by Mr. Bankman-Fried," Ray asserts. "His victims will never be fully compensated for the irreparable damage he has caused."

“班克曼-弗里德先生偷走了巨额资金，”雷断言。 “他造成的不可挽回的损害，他的受害者永远不会得到充分补偿。”

FTX Victims: Will They Ever Recover Their Losses?

FTX 受害者：他们能挽回损失吗？

The grim reality is that FTX victims are unlikely to ever fully recover their lost funds. Equity owners and Alameda creditors are facing near-total wipeouts. Government agencies owed taxes and fines may receive only a fraction of their claims.

严峻的现实是，FTX 受害者不太可能完全收回损失的资金。股权所有者和阿拉米达债权人面临着几乎全部破产的局面。政府机构所欠税款和罚款可能只能收到其索赔的一小部分。

Payouts to Customers: A Pyrrhic Victory

向客户付款：代价高昂的胜利

Any potential payouts to FTX customers will be calculated based on cryptocurrency prices from November 2022, when bitcoin was trading significantly lower. This means that even if customers technically receive "100%" of their claims, the actual value they receive will be substantially reduced due to the appreciation of crypto assets since then.

FTX 客户的任何潜在支付都将根据 2022 年 11 月以来的加密货币价格计算，当时比特币的交易价格大幅下跌。这意味着，即使客户在技术上收到“100％”的索赔，但由于此后加密资产的升值，他们收到的实际价值将大幅减少。
