Billy Markus, who is known as a co-founder of the popular meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin – it was created by him in collaboration with Jackson Palmer and launched in 2013 as a parody on the flagship digital currency Bitcoin.

比利·馬庫斯(Billy Markus) 是受歡迎的迷因加密貨幣狗狗幣(Dogecoin) 的聯合創始人，該加密貨幣由他與傑克遜·帕爾默(Jackson Palmer) 合作創建，並於2013 年推出，是對旗艦數位貨幣比特幣的模仿。

Now, Markus is an active Twitter/X user and a pen-pal of Elon Musk on the same social media platform, unlike Palmer, who tweets very seldom and in a critic of the Tesla CEO. Markus has taken to Twitter to share a curious and perhaps (shocking to some) fact about the founder of FTX – the bankrupt crypto exchange created by Sam Bankman-Fried. SBF planned to buy an island, survive and apocalypse and enhance the mankind genetically on a “sensible” scale.

現在，馬庫斯是 Twitter/X 的活躍用戶，也是馬斯克在同一社交媒體平台上的筆友，而帕爾默則很少發推文，並且批評特斯拉執行長。 Markus 在Twitter 上分享了一個關於FTX 創始人的好奇且可能（讓某些人感到震驚）的事實——FTX 是由山姆·班克曼-弗里德(Sam Bankman-Fried) 創建的破產加密貨幣交易所。 SBF 計劃購買一座島嶼，生存並度過末日，並以「合理」的規模增強人類基因。

SBF looked to buy Nauru Island to build survival bunker 

SBF 希望購買諾魯島來建造生存掩體

Before his brainchild FTX exchange collapsed, the young crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried planned to acquire the Nauri Island with a whole nation living on it. He did it out of security concerns, since apparently SBF expected the human civilization to collapse in the near future. He was unable to predict the collapse of FTX, though.

在他的創意 FTX 交易所崩潰之前，年輕的加密貨幣億萬富翁 Sam Bankman-Fried 計劃收購整個國家都居住在上面的諾裡島。他這樣做是出於安全考慮，因為顯然 SBF 預計人類文明將在不久的將來崩潰。但他無法預測 FTX 的崩潰。

did you know that SBF wanted to buy the island of nauru for himself and his EA friends and make a giant bunker there in case the world ended? 🤣 pic.twitter.com/VUCB2IGEt6

你知道 SBF 想為自己和他的 EA 朋友購買諾魯島，並在那裡建造一個巨大的掩體，以防世界末日嗎？ 🤣 pic.twitter.com/VUCB2IGEt6

Therefore, the acquisition of the island was his survival plan for FTX and his own trading firm Alameda Research and their staffers, according to the court filings in a federal bankruptcy court in Delaware in late July.

因此，根據 7 月底特拉華州聯邦破產法院的法庭文件顯示，收購該島是他對 FTX 以及他自己的貿易公司 Alameda Research 及其員工的生存計劃。

The memo written by SBF’s brother Gabriel Bankman-Fried (who was also a high-ranked FTX Foundation official) says that the plan was to acquire the Nauru island and build a “bunker/shelter” in case an event may happen that will destroy a significant part of the population (e.g., a massive fire or flood). Among those who that bunker was planned for were members of the effective altruism movement.

SBF 的兄弟 Gabriel Bankman-Fried（也是 FTX 基金會的高級官員）撰寫的備忘錄稱，該計劃是收購瑙魯島並建造一個“掩體/避難所”，以防可能發生摧毀一個國家的事件。人口的很大一部分（例如，大規模火災或洪水）。計劃建造這個地堡的人中有有效利他主義運動的成員。

In that bunker, the survivors led by SBF wanted to potentially create a lab and establish “sensible regulation around human genetic enhancement”.

在那個地堡裡，SBF 領導的倖存者希望建立一個實驗室，並建立「圍繞人類基因增強的合理監管」。

Here’s comes intriguing part why SBF chose Nauri Island

這是 SBF 選擇瑙裡島的有趣部分

Nauri is the smallest island state in the world with several times in its history when money-laundering activities were conducted there. Thus, this particular choice of a location for SBF’s “bunker” adds a flavor of intrigue to this story.

瑙裡是世界上最小的島國，歷史上曾多次發生洗錢活動。因此，SBF「地堡」地點的特殊選擇為這個故事增添了一絲陰謀的味道。

According to the court filings, Bankman-Fried himself was accused to defrauding FTX customers of roughly $8 billion in cryptocurrencies they held in the platform’s wallets.

根據法庭文件，Bankman-Fried 本人被指控詐騙 FTX 客戶在該平台錢包中持有的約 80 億美元的加密貨幣。

Thus, the actions of SBF do not seem to match the concept of effective altruism, which implies that a group of people accumulates wealth to help those who are underprivileged and his survival plan raises ethical concerns, as well as questions whether he indeed wanted to accumulate a large wealth to help the less privileged.

因此，SBF的行為似乎不符合有效利他主義的概念，有效利他主義意味著一群人積累財富來幫助那些弱勢群體，而他的生存計劃引發了道德擔憂，以及他是否真的想積累財富的問題.大量財富幫助弱勢。

SBF knew how to save FTX, John Deaton claims

約翰·迪頓聲稱 SBF 知道如何拯救 FTX

Founder of Crypto-Law.US and a vocal Ripple/XRP advocate John Deaton is a harsh SBF critic. In a recent tweet, he stated that now “crypto is back in full swing again”.

Crypto-Law.US 的創始人兼 Ripple/XRP 的大力倡導者 John Deaton 是 SBF 的嚴厲批評者。在最近的一條推文中，他表示現在「加密貨幣再次全面回歸」。

Deaton stated that if Bankman-Friend had not filed for FTX’s bankruptcy and managed to raise enough money (or provide his own funds) to “stop the bleeding” of the FTX platform, he would have managed to save his business and himself from prison.

Deaton 表示，如果 Bankman-Friend 沒有申請 FTX 破產並設法籌集足夠的資金（或提供自己的資金）來「止血」FTX 平台，他本可以設法將自己的企業和自己從監獄中拯救出來。
