SBF的监狱生活:不忘交易员初心,以“大米”进行交易套利

自从 2023 年 8 月被关押在布鲁克林大都会拘留中心(MDC)以来,这是 SBF 首次与媒体进行面对面交谈。在 5 月 9 日发布的一篇采访中,SBF 与《Puck News》的 William Cohan 进行了对话,本次访谈由 SBF 的母亲 Barbara Fried 组织。

根据访谈内容,SBF 的饮食以素食为主。由于 MDC 的素食餐让其他囚犯觉得“像粪便一样臭”,所以他主要靠吃豆子和大米为生,并且大米已经“成为 MDC 内部的一种交易货币”。SBF 甚至开玩笑的表示:“与他以前作为高频交易员的生活相比,在监狱里的套利机会要好得多。”

据《Puck News》报道,SBF 瘦了很多,减掉了 25 磅(11 公斤),“不再是那么胖,也不那么神经质,不那么坐立不安,眼袋也没有了”。并且在采访中,SBF 几乎一直盯着 Cohan 的眼睛看,以前很少看到 SBF 这么做。并且,他心酸的承认已经“学会伪装自己”过的很好。

SBF 的生活区域是 MDC 曾为女性囚犯搭建的大型开放式宿舍,并与其他 35 名男性囚犯生活在一起——根据报道,其中一半是向政府妥协的谋杀犯。不过据 SBF 所述,监狱生活非常无聊,只有四台电视和一个无法连接互联网的平板电脑获得娱乐,他只能在平板上玩游戏。虽然一起居住的狱友有很多谋杀犯,但是 SBF 并不担心自身安全,反而经常因为狱友频繁叫醒自己而睡得不好——他们总是询问 SBF 持有多少大米,想进行物物交换。

SBF 虽然监狱生活因“大米”而丰富多彩,但他始终没有放弃脱罪,并一直坚称自己是“替罪羊”。上个月,SBF 提交了一份通知,称他正在对欺诈和洗钱罪名提出上诉。

此外,SBF 几乎每个工作日都会与他的新律师交谈一个小时左右——在服用被批准的处方药物后,SBF 在沟通中思维非常清晰。

SBF 在采访中坚称,他被陷害成为 FTX 破产的替罪羊,并认为他唯一的疏忽是将 FTX 处于一个容易受到银行挤兑和竞争对手恶意行为影响的位置,并认为合理的惩罚应该是民事,而不是刑事处罚。

记者 Cohan 指出,SBF 仍然不相信自己犯了罪,并将自己描绘为一个无辜的参与者,没有得到足够与检察官协商的机会。并且 SBF 对被判帮助侵占了大约 80 亿美元的客户资金并不感到歉意。

SBF 强调,将公司交接给 FTX 的律师团队是将他定为公司破产的罪魁祸首;如果他留在 FTX 的领导岗位上,公司不会破产,而会是一个价值 800 亿美元的蓬勃发展的公司。他补充说,在他的律师说服他同时经营贸易公司和 FTX 存在利益冲突之后,他应该更加努力地寻找前女友 Caroline Ellison 以外的人来领导 Alameda,或者干脆忽略他们并继续经营这两家公司。

SBF 已经要求在他提起上诉之前留在 MDC,具体上诉应该会在 7 月份。但是根据法律条款,SBF 可以在任何时候被转移,很可能会被安置在离他父母所在的加利福尼亚州中监狱里。如果发生这种情况,SBF 可能会搭乘一辆监狱巴士用四个月的时间穿越美国,到达加利福尼亚的监狱。

DRAM ETF Issuer: Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron All Surpass $1 Trillion, the AI Era of Memory Chips Has Only Just Begun

Authors: Dave Mazza, Thomas DiFazio | Source: Deep Tide TechFlow The article, written by Roundhill Investments (issuer of the DRAM ETF), responds to Morningstar's caution about investing in memory chip stocks. Morningstar warns of the sector's history of boom-bust cycles, a lack of economic moats, and potential momentum-driven overvaluation. Roundhill argues the current situation is structurally different due to AI. Key points in Roundhill's rebuttal include: * **Changed Demand & Supply Dynamics:** AI infrastructure, not consumer electronics, is now the primary growth driver for memory demand. New, strict long-term supply agreements with hyperscalers reflect the high capital intensity of advanced manufacturing. * **Existence of a Moat:** High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM), essential for AI, has extremely high manufacturing barriers. The market is dominated by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, with new entrants blocked by technological complexity and long lead times for equipment like ASML's EUV machines. * **Strong Fundamental Outlook:** Analyst consensus projects the three companies will rank among the world's most profitable by 2027, with combined profits of $704 billion on over $1 trillion in revenue. Their operating margins have already reached record highs. * **Valuation Re-rating:** Despite significant stock price gains, memory stocks trade at attractive valuations (e.g., a median NTM P/E of 8.37x for the DRAM ETF) relative to projected explosive EPS growth. Roundhill suggests historical valuation frameworks may no longer apply given the new profitability paradigm. Conclusion: Roundhill contends the rally is justified by fundamentals, marking a structural shift for the memory industry into a new era of sustained, AI-driven demand against constrained supply, rather than a repeat of past cycles.

EF's Epic Reorganization: 20% Layoffs, Budget Halved, Is Ethereum Gearing Up for a Leaner Future?

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has announced a major organizational restructuring, involving a 20% staff reduction (approx. 54 employees) and a division into functional clusters like Protocol, Access, User, Community, and Institutional layers. Co-founder Vitalik Buterin further revealed plans to cut the EF's budget by around 40% over the coming years, aiming to reduce its annual spending rate from about 15% to roughly 5% by 2030, transitioning to an endowment-driven model. This overhaul is seen as a long-overdue correction to the EF's ambiguous role. As Ethereum grew, the foundation faced persistent criticism over ETH sales, perceived lack of execution, and unclear strategy, often becoming a focal point for community frustration amid ETH's price stagnation. The reform aims to redefine the EF's boundaries, narrowing its focus to core protocol research, public goods funding, and ecosystem coordination, while offloading more applied development work to the broader market. Concurrently, ecosystem forces like the newly formed Ethlabs (founded by ex-EF researchers) and other independent groups are stepping in to fill the space, signaling a shift from a centralized model to a more distributed, collaborative ecosystem structure. The move was notably praised by Solana co-founder toly, who viewed a "leaner" EF as potentially more decisive and agile.

Dragonfly Partner Haseeb: The Fastest-Growing Companies of the Future May All Get Stuck at 149 Employees

Dragonfly partner Haseeb explores the distorted economics of AI model pricing, drawing parallels to tax policy. He notes that startups and small teams (under 150 users) enjoy heavily subsidized, fixed-price AI subscriptions (like Claude Code), where the marginal cost of an additional token is effectively zero. This creates a powerful incentive for them to maximize token usage ("token-maxxing") and innovate aggressively with AI automation. In contrast, large enterprises (over 150 users) are forced onto "Enterprise" plans, paying per-token API fees with high (~75%) markups. This acts like a steep "tax" on AI-powered labor, disincentivizing marginal automation and experimental use, and encouraging them to retain more human workers. Haseeb argues this pricing creates a "150-person cliff," a regulatory notch similar to labor laws in France that discourage firms from growing past 50 employees. He predicts the fastest-growing future companies may deliberately cap their headcount at 149 to avoid the punitive enterprise pricing. This would foster an "AI-first" management philosophy obsessed with automation and outsourcing to stay lean. While not intentionally designed, this bifurcated pricing could become one of the most influential de facto tax policies, shaping how AI replaces labor—not through mass layoffs at big firms, but through agile, AI-native startups outcompeting them.

How xBubble Breaks Through in the VC-Heavily-Backed OPC Economy

xBubble: Addressing the Structural Gap in the VC-Backed OPC Economy The concept of OPC (One Person Company) is evolving from a buzzword to a significant AI-driven market. While AI coding tools like Replit and Lovable have validated demand from non-technical users wanting to build applications, a key gap remains: the leap from creating a demo to running a stable, evolving business. These tools still require users to manage the development process, including technical judgments for integrations, modifications, and deployments—a major hurdle for OPCs. xBubble, by DAPPOS, tackles this by shifting from "Prompt-to-Code" to "SOP-to-Business." Instead of generating code from instructions, its core is a system of pre-organized SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) that translate business goals—like "sell World Cup merchandise"—into complete, executable workflows. This includes generating cohesive assets, pages, payment systems, and backend logic. The platform is augmented by a network of third-party service providers who handle infrastructure (hosting, domains, payment setup), acting like "on-site service engineers." Users can pay for these services directly with xBubble credits, simplifying onboarding. This ecosystem aims to deliver not just an app, but a complete, modifiable business launch path. xBubble targets a clear OPC segment: small commercial nodes (e.g., creators, merchants) with existing products, customers, or channels, but for whom a full tech team is unjustifiable. Its potential lies in SOPs accumulating expertise from real cases, improving reliability and reducing delivery costs over time. Additionally, its native support for crypto payments caters to global or digital-native OPCs. In summary, as AI democratizes software creation, xBubble's opportunity is to prove that "SOP-to-Business" provides more immediate value for launching a real, operational business than a powerful but unstructured AI coding tool.
