Ukuziphatha kwalowo owayeyi-CEO ye-FTX ngesikhathi kuqhubeka icala kungase kumlimaze, kusho abashushisi bangaphambili kanye nabameli bezokuvikela etshela i-Unchained.

NgoLwesine, ngoMashi 28, iJaji uLewis Kaplan weSifunda esiseNingizimu yaseNew York uzogweba lowo owayeyisikhulu esiphezulu se-FTX uSamuel Bankman-Fried ngamacala ayisikhombisa emigqa ehlukene yokushushumbisa imali nokukhwabanisa okwenziwe izinkampani zakhe ezimbili, i-crypto exchange FTX kanye nedeski lokuhweba elixhumene ne-Alameda. .

Ukuze uthole isibuyekezo esifushane, emuva ngoNovemba 2022, ngemuva kwezinyanga zokuwa kwemakethe ye-crypto, umbiko weCoinDesk embule ukuthi i-Alameda itshalwe kakhulu kuthokheni ye-FTT ye-FTX. Intengo yethokheni yabe isiwa, futhi phakathi nezinsuku, i-FTX yashabalala, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi izinqubo eziqinisekisa ungqimba phezu kongqimba bokusetshenziswa kabi kwamadiphozithi amakhasimende, izilawuli zezinkampani ezishaqisayo, kanye nokuziphatha okuxakile phakathi kwezinto ezingama-20 eziqhuba amafemu angamawele.

Ukuboshwa nokuqulwa kwecala kuka-Bankman-Fried kuthathe i-cryptosphere, i-Wall Street, kanye nomhlaba wonkana. Umshushisi uye wacela iminyaka engu-40 kuya kwengu-50 ejele, ecaphuna isimo esibi sobugebengu kanye nokuziphatha kuka-Bankman-Fried enkantolo. Ukuzivikela, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kunakho wacela isigwebo seminyaka emihlanu kuya kweyisithupha, ekhomba intsha yeklayenti labo, abayibiza ngokuthi “Sam” ezincwadini zakamuva, kanye nethuba lokuthi abasebenzisi be-FTX bathole imali yabo phakathi kwezinqubo zokuqothuka kwenkampani.

U-Unchained ucele abameli abaningana abanolwazi njengabashushisi nabavikeli emacaleni obugebengu, kanye nezinye izingqapheli ezinolwazi, ukuthi balinganise ngokubheja kwabo isigwebo sikaBankman-Fried.

Izibikezelo

“Ngilindele isigwebo seminyaka engu-20 enyakatho. Ngingalindela ukuthi ijaji lenze okuthile eminyakeni engu-20-30,” Sam Enzer, owayengumshushisi we-SDNY kanye nosihlalo wamanje we-Cryptocurrency kanye neBlockchain Group ye-Cahill Gordon LLP, utshele i-Unchained. “Leli yicala eliqopha umlando. U-Bankman-Fried usesigabeni esincane sezinye zezelelesi zokukhwabanisa ezimbi kakhulu emlandweni wesizwe sakithi, futhi ngicabanga ukuthi ithimba lakhe liyakubona lokho futhi alikwazi ukukubalekela.”

U-Enzer usize ukushushisa, phakathi kokunye, i-cybersecurity mogul yaphenduka ukudingiswa kwe-crypto UJohn McAfee, kanye nabaholi bomnikelo wokuqala wemali engu- $25 wezigidi zomgunyathi I-Centra Tech. Ubuye wahola ithimba lezokuvikela lika-Ilya Lichtenstein noHeather “Razzlekhan” Morgan wavuma unecala ukugebenga i-BitFinex bese uzama ukukhipha lokho okwakungu-$ 4.5 billion we-crypto ngesikhathi uMnyango Wezobulungiswa ufika kubo.

U-Ari Redbord, inhloko yezindaba zezomthetho nezikahulumeni enkampanini ye-blockchain analytics i-TRM Labs, ivumelane no-Enzer. "Kungenzeka ukuthi sibheke amashumi eminyaka amaningi," uRedbord ubhalele i-Unchained. "Umusho omfushane nganoma yisiphi isiqhathaniso."

U-Redbord uke wasebenza njengomeluleki kuMgcinimafa wase-US futhi wayengummeli wase-US weSifunda sase-Columbia, lapho ayehola khona amacala amaningi okushushumbisa imali, okuhlanganisa namanye amacala okuqala obugebengu obuphezulu ukusebenzisa umkhondo we-blockchain njengobufakazi.

Kuyaziwa ukuthi isigebengu esimhlophe kanye ne-"pharma bro" UMartin Shkreli, owadonsa iminyaka engaphezu kwemine ejele ngemuva kokulahlwa yicala lokuqola abatshalizimali ngo-2017, utshele i-Unchained ukuthi wayecabanga ukuthi i-SBF izogwetshwa iminyaka engu-22 ejele.

Lokho “cishe kuphakathi kwalokhu akucelayo nohulumeni,” kubhala uSkreli.

U-Tiffany Fong, umgqugquzeli ongeyena ummeli kodwa ubelokhu elandela icala lika-Bankman-Fried eduze njengawo wonke umuntu, okuvumelana nokubikezela kweshumi leminyaka.  

"Ngicabanga ukuthi u-Sam uzothola iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20 ngenxa yokuthi leli yicala elisezingeni eliphezulu futhi iJaji uKaplan ubonakale ecikwe imigilingwane ka-Sam ngaphambi nangesikhathi sokuqulwa kwecala," kusho uFong etshela i-Unchained. 

Okwamanje, UBrian Klein, uzakwethu enkampanini yabameli Waymaker LLP, ube nesibikezelo esingenathemba kakhulu ngesigwebo se-SBF phakathi kochwepheshe esikhulume nabo.

"Ngikholwa ukuthi iJaji uKaplan uzomgweba iminyaka engu-40-50," kubhala u-Klein, ummeli wezokuvikela kanye nowayengummeli wase-US okwamanje omele u-Kraken ngokumelene ne-SEC kanye nabathuthukisi be-Tornado Cash ngokumelene noMnyango Wezobulungiswa. U-Klein ngaphambilini wakwazi ukuthola u-Virgil Griffith, umthuthukisi we-Ethereum owanikeza ingqungquthela ePyongyang, isigwebo esingaphansi kweminyaka eyisithupha ngamacala okuphula unswinyo.

Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ayikho i-parole ohlelweni lukahulumeni lapho u-Bankman-Fried ezosebenza khona, ngakho okungcono kakhulu angethemba ukuthi uzophuma kunoma yini isigwebo sakhe kungaba u-15% ngokuziphatha kahle.

Ama-Takeaways

Okubalulekile ebukhulu besigwebo okungenzeka ukuthi uBankman-Fried abhekene naso akuwona nje ubugebengu uqobo, kodwa ukuziphatha kwakhe kusukela ebekwe icala. 

“Esikhundleni sokuthi avume amacala akhe futhi avume icala, wenqaba icala, waya enkantolo, wathatha isinqumo, futhi wafunga amanga ezama ukuphuma ngaphansi kwamacala futhi ijaji labenqaba ngokushesha ubufakazi bakhe, okusho ukuthi ijaji latholakala ngale. ukungabaza okuphusile ukuthi ubengakhulumi iqiniso,” kusho u-Enzer. "Ngakho-ke akulona nje icala elibucayi kakhulu, kodwa usenze isimo saba sibi ngendlela aziphathe ngayo selokhu abekwa icala."

Wavuma uRedbord.

"Wehlulekile, ngaso sonke isikhathi, ukukhombisa ukuzisola noma ukwamukela umthwalo wemfanelo," kubhala uRedbord ngoBankman-Fried. “Waliyisa icala wafakaza, ngokubona kukahulumeni, waqamba amanga. Futhi, okwenza izinto zaba zimbi nakakhulu wephula imibandela yokukhululwa kwakhe ngesikhathi kuqulwa icala, wathintana nofakazi, futhi wahileleka ekuvimbeleni ubulungisa.”

Naphezu kokubonakala sengathi umshushisi uphumelele - ngisho nasekupheleni, iminyaka engu-20 izoba isigwebo eside ngokumangalisayo ngobugebengu obumhlophe - u-Enzer waphawula ukuthi mancane amathuba okuba kube namabhodlela e-champagne phakathi kwabameli baseMelika kuleli cala. “Ngangihlale ngizwa sengathi ukugwetshwa kufana nokuya emngcwabeni,” usho kanje.
