A group of cryptocurrency users has reached an agreement with former FTX CEO Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried as part of a class-action lawsuit filed in Florida.
作為在佛羅裡達州提起的集體訴訟的一部分,一群加密貨幣用戶已與 FTX 前執行長 Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried 達成協議。
In an April 19 filing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, plaintiffs who sued FTX influencers in 2022 announced they had reached a settlement with Bankman-Fried. According to the filing, the plaintiffs recognized the expense and length of proceedings should they continue to pursue judgment against SBF, opting instead to use some of the information presented at his criminal trial to continue their case against FTX promoters.
在 4 月 19 日向美國佛羅裡達州南區地方法院提交的文件中,2022 年起訴 FTX 影響者的原告宣布,他們已與 Bankman-Fried 達成和解。根據該文件,原告認識到如果他們繼續對 SBF 進行判決,訴訟的費用和時間會很長,因此選擇使用他在刑事審判中提供的一些資訊來繼續針對 FTX 發起人的案件。
“[Bankman-Fried] has knowledge and other information that Class Representatives and Class Counsel believe will be valuable to Class Representatives’ cases against other defendants in the FTX MDL [multidistrict litigation], particularly relating to the underlying actions and their connection to Miami, Florida, where FTX’s U.S. headquarters were based, as well as each MDL Defendants’ knowledge of and assistance with the actions and connections to other states in which jurisdictions over those Defendants is asserted,” the April 19 filing said.

「[Bankman-Fried] 擁有集體代表和集體律師認為對集體代表在FTX MDL [多區訴訟] 中針對其他被告的案件有價值的知識和其他信息,特別是與基本訴訟及其與邁阿密的聯繫有關的信息, FTX 美國總部所在地佛羅裡達州,以及每個 MDL 被告對這些行動的了解和協助以及與對這些被告擁有管轄權的其他州的聯繫。
Subject to court approval, the settlement would resolve the lawsuit between SBF and crypto users seeking recourse for losses during the fall of FTX. The filing suggested that the plaintiffs proposed the settlement on March 28 — the day a judge sentenced Bankman-Fried to 25 years in prison for his conviction on felony charges.
經法院批准,和解協議將解決 SBF 與加密貨幣用戶之間尋求追索 FTX 崩潰期間損失的訴訟。文件顯示,原告於 3 月 28 日提出了和解方案,當天法官因班克曼-弗里德重罪罪名被判處 25 年監禁。
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit proposed that Bankman-Fried assist in prosecuting FTX influencers and aid in victim recovery through documents and testimony provided during his criminal trial. The lawyers specifically cited information related to celebrities and companies responsible for endorsing the crypto exchange before its downfall, including sports stars Naomi Osaka, Tom Brady, Stephen Curry, and Shaquille O’Neal.
