FTX 和 CFTC 最终达成 127 亿美元和解以偿还债权人

美国大宗商品监管机构和破产的加密货币交易所 FTX 已同意达成 127 亿美元的和解协议，结束了长达 19 个月的诉讼。

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.

破产的加密货币交易所 FTX 和美国大宗商品监管机构已同意达成 127 亿美元的和解协议，这是该交易所《破产法》第 11 章重组计划中的关键一步。

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.

根据周五晚提交的法庭文件，商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 将从 FTX 获得 87 亿美元的赔偿和 40 亿美元的没收。监管机构并未寻求民事罚款，因此全部 127 亿美元将用于偿还 FTX 的债权人。

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 起诉 FTX、其前首席执行官 Sam Bankman-Fried 和 Alameda Research，指控其在将 FTX.com 作为数字商品资产平台进行营销时存在欺诈和虚假陈述。

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.

该交易所在文件中表示，该和解解决了与 FTX 最大债权人之一的纠纷，降低了风险并有助于保留资产以分配给债权人。

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 的重组计划提出，根据 2022 年 11 月申请破产时的美元资产价格，为 98% 的债权人（特别是债权人低于 5 万美元的债权人）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，考虑到自提交申请以来市场已上涨 166%，许多债权人正在选择加密货币支付。这种偏好可能会影响最终的还款金额和方式。

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.

和解听证会定于 8 月 6 日在特拉华州破产法院举行。债权人也在就他们首选的支付方式进行投票，并必须在 8 月 16 日之前提交投票。约翰·多尔西法官将于 10 月 7 日做出最终决定。

“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，“鉴于 FTX 内部人士的行为、认罪和定罪，债务人对 CFTC 面临非常重大的潜在责任”，强调了情况的严重性。
