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.
作为在佛罗里达州提起的集体诉讼的一部分,一群加密货币用户已与 FTX 前首席执行官 Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried 达成协议。
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 日向美国佛罗里达州南区地方法院提交的文件中,2022 年起诉 FTX 影响者的原告宣布,他们已与 Bankman-Fried 达成和解。根据该文件,原告认识到如果他们继续对 SBF 进行判决,诉讼的费用和时间会很长,因此选择使用他在刑事审判中提供的一些信息来继续针对 FTX 发起人的案件。
“[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] 拥有集体代表和集体律师认为对集体代表在 FTX MDL [多区诉讼] 中针对其他被告的案件有价值的知识和其他信息,特别是与基本诉讼及其与迈阿密的联系有关的信息, FTX 美国总部所在地佛罗里达州,以及每个 MDL 被告对这些行动的了解和协助以及与对这些被告拥有管辖权的其他州的联系。”4 月 19 日的文件称。 来源:PACER
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.
经法院批准,该和解协议将解决 SBF 与加密货币用户之间寻求追索 FTX 崩溃期间损失的诉讼。文件显示,原告于 3 月 28 日提出了和解方案,当天法官因班克曼-弗里德重罪罪名被判处 25 年监禁。
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.
诉讼中的原告提议 Bankman-Fried 协助起诉 FTX 影响者,并通过其刑事审判期间提供的文件和证词帮助受害者康复。律师们特别引用了与加密货币交易所垮台前负责支持的名人和公司相关的信息,其中包括体育明星 Naomi Osaka、Tom Brady、Stephen Curry 和 Shaquille O’Neal。

The lawsuit, first filed in November 2022, shortly after FTX filed for bankruptcy, was consolidated into its present form in June 2023. The Moskowitz Law Firm, behind many crypto-based class-action lawsuits, represented the plaintiffs.

Bankman-Fried’s lawyers filed notice to appeal the former FTX CEO’s conviction and sentence on April 11. They also requested SBF remain at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn rather than a federal prison in the San Francisco Bay Area to assist in his defense.
Bankman-Fried 的律师于 4 月 11 日提交通知,对这位前 FTX 首席执行官的定罪和判刑提出上诉。他们还要求 SBF 留在布鲁克林大都会拘留中心而不是旧金山湾区的联邦监狱,以协助他辩护。
