FTX 前高管 Ryan Salame 可能面临五到七年的监禁，因为检察官强调了他罪行的严重性。

Federal prosecutors have recommended that former FTX executive Ryan Salame serve five to seven years in prison for his role in the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange. In a sentencing memo filed in federal court in Manhattan, U.S. prosecutors stressed that Salame has committed "serious crimes, and a substantial sentence is required to ensure that Salame receives just punishment," as reported by Bloomberg.

联邦检察官建议 FTX 前高管 Ryan Salame 因其在 FTX 加密货币交易所崩溃中所扮演的角色而被判处五到七年监禁。据彭博社报道，美国检察官在曼哈顿联邦法院提交的一份量刑备忘录中强调，萨拉姆犯下了“严重罪行，需要判处重刑，以确保萨拉姆受到公正的惩罚”。

“The campaign finance offense is one of the largest-ever in American history, and the unlicensed money transmitting business exchanged more than $1 billion without proper supervision.”

“竞选资金犯罪是美国历史上最大的犯罪之一，未经许可的汇款业务在没有适当监管的情况下交易了超过 10 亿美元。”

Salame, who pleaded guilty to a campaign finance law violation and a charge of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, is set to be sentenced on May 28. Other key figures in the scandal, including Caroline Ellison, Nishad Singh, and Gary Wang, are still awaiting their sentences.

萨拉梅承认违反竞选财务法和经营无照汇款业务的指控，将于 5 月 28 日被判刑。该丑闻中的其他关键人物，包括卡罗琳·埃里森 (Caroline Ellison)、尼沙德·辛格 (Nishad Singh) 和加里·王 (Gary Wang)，仍在等待他们的判决。

Meanwhile, Salame's legal team is contesting the sentencing recommendation, highlighting his cooperation with the authorities.

与此同时，萨拉姆的法律团队正在对量刑建议提出异议，强调他与当局的合作。

“He has been a good man who has done much good in this world, who conspired to commit two crimes while in the thrall of a criminal leader.”

“他是一个好人，在这个世界上做了很多好事，但在犯罪头目的控制下密谋犯下了两起罪行。”

As part of his plea deal, Salame agreed to forfeit nearly $6 million in assets, including a restaurant in Massachusetts.

作为认罪协议的一部分，萨拉姆同意放弃近 600 万美元的资产，其中包括马萨诸塞州的一家餐馆。

Ryan Salame joined Alameda Research, FTX's hedge fund, in 2019 after meeting Bankman-Fried at a blockchain conference. He later became the CEO of FTX's Bahamas subsidiary. Prosecutors allege that Salame helped FTX accept customer deposits through a U.S. bank account without the necessary licenses. According to the report, Salame also acted as a straw donor, funneling millions in political donations.

Ryan Salame 在区块链会议上结识 Bankman-Fried 后，于 2019 年加入 FTX 旗下对冲基金 Alameda Research。他后来成为 FTX 巴哈马子公司的首席执行官。检察官指控 Salame 在没有必要许可证的情况下帮助 FTX 通过美国银行账户接受客户存款。报道称，萨拉梅还充当了稻草捐助者，筹集了数百万政治捐款。

FTX collapsed in November 2022 following allegations that its owners and the affiliated hedge fund, Alameda Research, embezzled and misappropriated billions of dollars in customer funds. Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the exchange, was sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to repay $11 billion.

FTX 于 2022 年 11 月倒闭，此前有人指控其所有者及其附属对冲基金 Alameda Research 贪污和挪用数十亿美元的客户资金。该交易所创始人 Sam Bankman-Fried 被判处 25 年监禁，并被责令偿还 110 亿美元。

In early May, reports indicated that FTX had recovered billions more than needed to cover its collapse-related losses, a development that FTX CEO John Ray hailed as an "unbelievable result," suggesting that the exchange could fully repay its over 2 million customers.

5 月初，有报道称，FTX 已收回了超出所需金额的数十亿美元，以弥补其崩溃相关的损失，FTX 首席执行官约翰·雷 (John Ray) 称赞这一进展为“令人难以置信的结果”，表明该交易所可以完全偿还其超过 200 万客户。
