FTX 和 Alameda 因欺诈被责令支付 127 亿美元

商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）周四宣布，美国纽约南区地方法院已发出同意书

A U.S. district court has ordered FTX and Alameda Research to pay $12.7 billion to fraud victims, concluding a months-long legal battle over the misuse of customer funds and fraudulent practices at the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange.

美国地方法院已下令 FTX 和 Alameda Research 向欺诈受害者支付 127 亿美元，结束了长达数月的针对这家现已破产的加密货币交易所滥用客户资金和欺诈行为的法律斗争。

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced the court order on Thursday, stating that FTX Trading Ltd. and Alameda Research LLC are ordered to jointly and severally pay a total money judgment of $12,727,020,164. Of the total amount, $8,733,297,430.24 is ordered to be paid by FTX as restitution, while the remaining $4,000,000,000 is ordered to be paid by Alameda as disgorgement.

美国商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 于周四宣布了法院命令，称 FTX Trading Ltd. 和 Alameda Research LLC 被命令共同和分别支付总计 12,727,020,164 美元的赔偿金。其中，8,733,297,430.24 美元被命令由 FTX 作为赔偿，而剩余的 4,000,000,000 美元被命令由 Alameda 支付作为非法所得。

The disgorgement will be used to further compensate victims for losses suffered as a result of the massive fraudulent scheme orchestrated by Samuel Bankman-Fried, his now-bankrupt FTX group of companies, and a core group of FTX insiders, the announcement details.

公告详细介绍，所得款项将用于进一步赔偿受害者因 Samuel Bankman-Fried、其现已破产的 FTX 集团公司以及 FTX 内部核心团队精心策划的大规模欺诈计划而遭受的损失。

The court found that FTX misled its customers by falsely representing that it would safeguard their assets on the platform, while in reality, commingling and misusing those funds. The order also permanently enjoins FTX and Alameda from further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC regulations and orders them to cooperate with the CFTC in its ongoing litigation.

法院发现，FTX 错误地表示将保护客户在平台上的资产，从而误导了客户，而实际上却混合和滥用了这些资金。该命令还永久禁止 FTX 和 Alameda 进一步违反《商品交易法》(CEA) 和 CFTC 法规，并命令他们在 CFTC 正在进行的诉讼中配合。

“Not only is this multi-billion dollar recovery for victims the largest such recovery in CFTC history, we achieved it with remarkable speed,” said Ian McGinley, Director of the CFTC’s Division of Enforcement. “Together with our law enforcement partners, the CFTC will continue to aggressively pursue actions to hold wrongdoers accountable for fraud in the digital assets markets and to return money to victims as quickly as possible.”

CFTC 执法部主任 Ian McGinley 表示：“为受害者追回的数十亿美元不仅是 CFTC 历史上最大的此类追回，而且我们以惊人的速度实现了这一目标。” “美国商品期货交易委员会将与我们的执法合作伙伴一起，继续积极采取行动，追究数字资产市场欺诈行为的不法分子的责任，并尽快将资金返还给受害者。”

The CFTC filed a civil enforcement action against FTX, Alameda, Bankman-Fried, Caroline Ellison, Gary Wang, Nishad Singh, and Ryan Salame in December 2022, alleging fraud, false statements, material omissions, and aiding and abetting in connection with a scheme to defraud FTX’s digital asset trading customers. Ellison and Wang previously pleaded guilty to the charges against them and are cooperating with the government.

CFTC 于 2022 年 12 月对 FTX、Alameda、Bankman-Fried、Caroline Ellison、Gary Wang、Nishad Singh 和 Ryan Salame 提起民事执法行动，指控其在一项计划中存在欺诈、虚假陈述、重大遗漏以及协助和教唆行为诈骗FTX的数字资产交易客户。埃里森和王此前已承认对他们的指控，并正在与政府合作。

The court previously granted summary judgment against FTX and Alameda on liability for the CFTC’s fraud claims on May 12. Following a bench trial on the remaining issues, including the amount of restitution, disgorgement, and civil monetary penalties, the court issued its findings of fact and conclusions of law on June 28.

法院此前于 5 月 12 日就 CFTC 欺诈索赔的责任对 FTX 和 Alameda 做出了简易判决。在对剩余问题（包括返还金额、没收非法所得和民事罚款）进行法官审判后，法院发布了事实调查结果并于 6 月 28 日作出法律结论。

“FTX used age-old tactics to create an illusion that it was a safe and secure place to access crypto markets,” said CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam. “But the basic regulatory tools, like governance, customer protections, and surveillance that exist to identify misconduct and ultimately prevent collapse, were simply not there.”

CFTC 主席 Rostin Behnam 表示：“FTX 使用古老的策略来制造一种错觉，以为它是进入加密货币市场的安全可靠的地方。” “但用于识别不当行为并最终防止崩溃的基本监管工具，例如治理、客户保护和监视，根本不存在。”

“The speed at which the CFTC and the Justice Department were able to investigate, charge, try, convict, and now obtain this massive judgment for victims of FTX’s fraud is a testament to the skill and dedication of government lawyers, law enforcement, and bankruptcy professionals,” Behnam added. “Together, we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that victims are compensated for their losses and that the fraudsters behind this scheme are held fully accountable.”

“CFTC 和司法部能够以如此快的速度调查、指控、审判、定罪，现在还为 FTX 欺诈受害者获得了如此大规模的判决，这证明了政府律师、执法部门和破产部门的技能和奉献精神专业人士，”贝纳姆补充道。 “我们将共同努力，继续不懈努力，确保受害者的损失得到赔偿，并追究该计划背后的欺诈者的全部责任。”
