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·马库斯 (Billy Markus) 是流行的模因加密货币狗狗币 (Dogecoin) 的联合创始人，该加密货币由他与杰克逊·帕尔默 (Jackson Palmer) 合作创建，并于 2013 年推出，是对旗舰数字货币比特币的模仿。

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.

现在，马库斯是 Twitter/X 的活跃用户，也是埃隆·马斯克在同一社交媒体平台上的笔友，而帕尔默则很少发推文，并且批评特斯拉首席执行官。 Markus 在 Twitter 上分享了一个关于 FTX 创始人的好奇且可能（令某些人感到震惊）的事实——FTX 是由山姆·班克曼-弗里德 (Sam Bankman-Fried) 创建的破产加密货币交易所。 SBF 计划购买一座岛屿，生存并度过末日，并以“合理”的规模增强人类基因。

SBF looked to buy Nauru Island to build survival bunker 

SBF 希望购买瑙鲁岛来建造生存掩体

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.

在他的创意 FTX 交易所崩溃之前，年轻的加密货币亿万富翁 Sam Bankman-Fried 计划收购整个国家都居住在上面的瑙里岛。他这样做是出于安全考虑，因为显然 SBF 预计人类文明会在不久的将来崩溃。但他无法预测 FTX 的崩溃。

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 想为自己和他的 EA 朋友购买瑙鲁岛，并在那里建造一个巨大的掩体，以防世界末日吗？ 🤣 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，根据 7 月底特拉华州联邦破产法院的法庭文件显示，收购该岛是他对 FTX 以及他自己的贸易公司 Alameda Research 及其员工的生存计划。

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 基金会的高级官员）撰写的备忘录称，该计划是收购瑙鲁岛并建造一个“掩体/避难所”，以防可能发生摧毁一个国家的事件。人口的很大一部分（例如，大规模火灾或洪水）。计划建造这个地堡的人中有有效利他主义运动的成员。

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

在那个地堡里，SBF 领导的幸存者希望建立一个实验室，并建立“围绕人类基因增强的合理监管”。

Here’s comes intriguing part why SBF chose Nauri Island

这是 SBF 选择瑙里岛的有趣部分

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.

瑙里是世界上最小的岛国，历史上曾多次发生洗钱活动。因此，SBF“地堡”地点的特殊选择为这个故事增添了一丝阴谋的味道。

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.

根据法庭文件，Bankman-Fried 本人被指控诈骗 FTX 客户在该平台钱包中持有的约 80 亿美元的加密货币。

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的行为似乎并不符合有效利他主义的概念，有效利他主义意味着一群人积累财富来帮助那些弱势群体，而他的生存计划引发了道德担忧，以及他是否真的想积累财富的问题。大量财富帮助弱势群体。

SBF knew how to save FTX, John Deaton claims

约翰·迪顿声称 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 的创始人兼 Ripple/XRP 的大力倡导者 John Deaton 是 SBF 的严厉批评者。在最近的一条推文中，他表示现在“加密货币再次全面回归”。

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 没有申请 FTX 破产并设法筹集足够的资金（或提供自己的资金）来“止血”FTX 平台，他本可以设法将自己的企业和自己从监狱中拯救出来。
