FTX 和 CFTC 最終達成 127 億美元和解以償還債權人

美國大宗商品監管機構和破產的加密貨幣交易所 FTX 已同意達成 127 億美元的和解協議，結束了長達 19 個月的訴訟。

Bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX and the US commodities regulator have agreed to a $12.7 billion settlement, a crucial step in the exchange’s Chapter 11 reorganization plan.

破產的加密貨幣交易所 FTX 和美國大宗商品監管機構已同意達成 127 億美元的和解協議，這是該交易所《破產法》第 11 章重組計畫中的關鍵一步。

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will receive $8.7 billion in restitution and $4 billion in disgorgement from FTX, according to court documents filed late Friday. The regulator did not seek a civil monetary penalty, so the entire $12.7 billion will go towards repaying FTX’s creditors.

根據週五晚間提交的法庭文件，商品期貨交易委員會 (CFTC) 將從 FTX 獲得 87 億美元的賠償和 40 億美元的沒收。監管機構並未尋求民事罰款，因此全部 127 億美元將用於償還 FTX 的債權人。

The CFTC had sued FTX, its former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, and Alameda Research in December for fraud and misrepresentations in marketing FTX.com as a digital commodity asset platform.

去年 12 月，CFTC 起訴 FTX、其前執行長 Sam Bankman-Fried 和 Alameda Research，指控其在將 FTX.com 作為數位商品資產平台進行行銷時存在欺詐和虛假陳述。

The settlement resolves disputes with one of FTX’s largest creditors, reducing risks and helping preserve assets for distribution to creditors, the exchange said in the filing.

該交易所在文件中表示，和解解決了與 FTX 最大債權人之一的糾紛，降低了風險並有助於保留資產以分配給債權人。

FTX’s reorganization plan proposes a 118% recovery for 98% of creditors, particularly those with claims below $50,000, based on asset prices in U.S. dollars at the time of its bankruptcy filing in November 2022.

FTX 的重整計畫提出，根據 2022 年 11 月申請破產時的美元資產價格，為 98% 的債權人（特別是債權人低於 5 萬美元的債權人）提供 118% 的回收率。

However, many creditors are opting for cryptocurrency payouts, considering a 166% gain in the market since the filing. This preference could influence the final repayment amounts and methods.

然而，考慮到自提交申請以來市場已上漲 166%，許多債權人正在選擇加密貨幣支付。這種偏好可能會影響最終的還款金額和方式。

A hearing on the settlement is scheduled for Aug. 6 in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Creditors are also voting on their preferred payout method and have until Aug. 16 to submit their votes. Judge John Dorsey will make a final decision on Oct. 7.

和解聽證會定於 8 月 6 日在特拉華州破產法院舉行。債權人也在就他們首選的支付方式進行投票，並必須在 8 月 16 日之前提交投票。約翰·多爾西法官將於 10 月 7 日做出最終決定。

“Given the conduct, guilty pleas, and convictions of the FTX Insiders, the Debtors face very substantial potential liability to the CFTC,” FTX said in the filing, underscoring the gravity of the situation.

FTX 在文件中表示：“鑑於 FTX 內部人士的行為、認罪和定罪，債務人面臨著對 CFTC 的非常重大的潛在責任”，強調了情況的嚴重性。
