  • Дитон призвал лидеров отклонить любое помилование SBF, сославшись на масштабы мошенничества FTX.
  • Министерство юстиции, ФБР и SDNY оставили в силе приговор в виде 25 лет лишения свободы и конфискации 11 млрд долларов.
  • Сообщения о лоббистской деятельности с целью добиться помилования заставили обратить внимание на это дело.

Адвокат Джон Э. Дитон призвал власти и политических лидеров отвергнуть любые попытки помиловать или смягчить приговор Сэму Бэнкману-Фриду, бывшему главе FTX, осужденному за организацию одного из крупнейших финансовых мошенничеств в истории США.

В заявлении, опубликованном на платформе X, Дитон назвал Бэнкмана-Фрида «Берни Мейдоффом криптовалют» и призвал Пэм Бонди возобновить расследование предполагаемых нарушений правил финансирования избирательной кампании. Он также обвинил родителей Бэнкмана-Фрида, Джо Бэнкмана и Барбару Фрид, в участии в мошеннических операциях, сославшись на их предполагаемую причастность к подставным компаниям, сбору средств на политические цели и приобретению недвижимости, связанному с фондами FTX.

Let me be clear: any effort to pardon or commute the sentence of the Bernie Madoff of Crypto — @SBF_FTX — should be squashed immediately. In fact, @PamBondi should re-open the case against him for violating campaign finance laws. His father Joe Bankman should be investigated as… https://t.co/PrtZB9V4aK

Сообщения о лоббистской попытке добиться помилования

11 марта 2025 года политический обозреватель Лора Лумер сообщила о хорошо финансируемой лоббистской кампании, направленной на то, чтобы подтолкнуть команду президента Дональда Трампа к помилованию Бэнкмана-Фрида. Лумер утверждала, что некоторые политические консультанты и спонсоры координируют кампанию, призванную представить основателя FTX «жертвой» после его недавнего одиночного заключения и появлений в СМИ. Она утверждала, что члены его семьи были причастны к найму фирмы для лоббирования помилования.

Однако федеральные прокуроры утверждают, что преступления Бэнкмана-Фрида нанесли значительный ущерб инвесторам, кредиторам и клиентам. Он был приговорён к 25 годам тюремного заключения, трём годам условно-досрочного освобождения и конфискации активов на сумму 11 миллиардов долларов за мошенничество с миллиардами долларов у пользователей и инвесторов FTX.

Подробности дела о мошенничестве FTX

По данным прокуратуры США по Южному округу Нью-Йорка, в период с 2019 по 2022 год Бэнкман-Фрид использовал средства клиентов FTX для получения политических пожертвований на сумму более 100 миллионов долларов, в основном кандидатам от Демократической партии, а также вносил средства в некоторые кампании республиканцев. Он был признан виновным по семи пунктам обвинения, включая мошенничество с использованием электронных средств связи, мошенничество с ценными бумагами, мошенничество с товарами и отмывание денег.

Прокуроры заявили, что Банкман-Фрид распорядился внести изменения в код FTX, чтобы позволить своей торговой фирме Alameda Research получать доступ к неограниченному количеству средств и выводить их. Он также предоставлял инвесторам и кредиторам фальсифицированную финансовую документацию и использовал депозиты клиентов для покупки элитной недвижимости и финансирования политического влияния.

Генеральный прокурор Меррик Б. Гарланд заявил, что это дело демонстрирует, что «мошенничество с клиентами и инвесторами влечет за собой серьезные последствия». Кроме того, директор ФБР Кристофер Рэй назвал исход дела четким сигналом для всех, кто пытается эксплуатировать финансовые системы в личных целях. Федеральный прокурор Дэмиан Уильямс добавил, что приговор обеспечивает привлечение виновных к ответственности, а взысканные средства будут направлены на компенсацию пострадавшим посредством утвержденного судом возмещения ущерба.

Ethereum's Next Decade in the Eyes of Vitalik

"Lean Ethereum" Long-Term Roadmap Unveiled by Vitalik Buterin On July 5, 2026, Vitalik Buterin published the "Lean Ethereum" roadmap, positioning it as Ethereum's third major evolution following the Merge. This multi-year, multi-phase upgrade aims to fundamentally transform Ethereum's core protocol through staged network upgrades extending to 2029. Key goals include achieving 1 gigagas per second L1 throughput (a massive increase from the current ~32 TPS), near-instant finality, and quantum-resistant cryptography. The plan involves transitioning Ethereum's security model from full transaction re-execution by all nodes to native verification via recursive STARK proofs. A major proposed change is replacing the EVM with a proof-friendly architecture like RISC-V or leanISA, though this remains a point of contention, especially with L2s like Arbitrum favoring alternatives like WASM. Other planned upgrades include a restructured state model with a large, cheap "warehouse" storage layer to drastically reduce fees for migrated applications, multi-dimensional gas pricing, and a new focus on making privacy a first-class, native protocol feature. While the roadmap significantly raises Ethereum's long-term technical ceiling, analysts note it does not directly address ETH's mid-term token economics or value capture. The plan's multi-year timeline means near-term price impact will likely depend on observable progress milestones, such as the successful deployment of the upcoming Glamsterdam gas limit increase, growth in L2 activity and blob usage, and trends in L1 fee revenue and ETH burn.

In Just 11 Days, Claude Rewrote Millions of Lines of Code, an Epic AI Engineering Feat Sparks Fury

In just 11 days, Bun's founder Jarred Sumner used Anthropic's Claude AI models to rewrite its million lines of code from Zig to Rust. This move sparked significant controversy, particularly from Zig's creator, Andrew Kelley, who publicly criticized Sumner's engineering practices and the decision to use AI for such a massive rewrite. Bun, a high-performance JavaScript/TypeScript runtime and rival to Node.js, was originally written in Zig. After Anthropic acquired Bun, the team encountered persistent stability and memory safety bugs in the Zig codebase. These issues, combined with Zig's strict policy against LLM-generated code, led to the decision to rewrite in Rust. The rewrite was executed using Claude AI tools at an estimated API cost of $165,000, dramatically reducing the expected time and financial cost. Andrew Kelley's response was scathing. He blamed the original bugs on poor engineering habits, calling Bun's Zig code a collection of "hacks on top of hacks." He expressed relief that Bun was no longer associated with Zig, fearing it would misrepresent the language and attract low-quality, AI-generated contributions. The tech community is divided; some view Kelley's critique as unprofessional, while others see it as a defense of engineering integrity. A major concern about the AI-driven rewrite is the resulting code quality. The translation from Zig left approximately 27,000 lines of unsafe Rust code, raising fears about long-term maintainability and technical debt. The debate centers on whether this project is a milestone in AI-assisted development or a future maintenance nightmare.

From Auto Finance to Bitcoin to AI Engines: An Analysis of Cango's 'What Not to Do' Strategy

From Auto Finance to Bitcoin and Now AI: Cango's "What Not to Do" Strategy Cango, a Chinese auto finance platform that went public on the NYSE in 2018, is undergoing its third major transformation. After selling its entire auto business in 2024, it pivoted to become a large-scale Bitcoin miner, acquiring 50 exahash of mining rigs from Bitmain. However, its true goal was never Bitcoin, but owning and controlling energy infrastructure. Now, Cango is pivoting again. While most listed Bitcoin miners are leasing power to giant hyperscalers for AI training clusters, Cango is taking the opposite path. It has launched an AI inference subsidiary called EcoHash, focusing not on training but on distributed inference. The company's strategy hinges on the insight that over 70% of mining industry power is controlled by small, independent sites (10-50 MW), which are too small for hyperscalers but ideal for low-latency AI inference. Cango aims to partner with these small operators, providing the AI technology, customers, and financing through its EcoLink software layer, which can distribute workloads across sites for reliability. Cango maintains a hybrid model, running roughly 31.7 EH/s of Bitcoin mining for cash flow while aggressively cleaning its balance sheet—slashing long-term debt by 94.5% to $30.6 million and raising $75 million for its AI venture. Its first AI deployment will be at a 50 MW site in Georgia. The strategy faces skepticism, given the high costs of converting mining sites and the potential for an AI bubble. However, Cango's leadership believes discipline around "what not to do"—avoiding direct competition with hyperscalers in training—positions it to capture the long-tail demand for distributed AI inference power.

Strategy's Bitcoin Sales Cap Far Exceeds $1.25 Billion: A Detail the Market Overlooked

The article discusses how MicroStrategy's potential Bitcoin sales go far beyond the announced $1.25 billion "reserve-building capacity." It clarifies a key distinction in the company's "BTC Monetization Program": selling Bitcoin to *build* a new dollar reserve (the $1.25B cap) versus selling to *replenish* the existing USD Reserve after it's used for expenses like preferred share dividends. The recent $216M BTC sale for dividend payments was a "replenishment," leaving the headline $1.25B building quota untouched. The plan actually outlines three potential funding pools from BTC sales: 1) Building the reserve ($1.25B cap), 2) Covering preferred share/ debt costs (no specified cap), and 3) Funding buyback programs (up to $20B). This means the structured sales potential exceeds $30 billion, not including uncapped replenishment sales. The piece argues this marks MicroStrategy's shift from a passive "buy-and-hold" Bitcoin proxy to an actively managed entity using BTC as a balance-sheet tool to manage its complex capital structure (common stock, preferred shares, debt, reserve). This creates new dynamics and potential conflicts, as actions benefiting one part (e.g., selling BTC to pay dividends) may pressure another (e.g., undermining the "never sell" narrative). Investors must now parse the company's specific terminology ("build" vs. "replenish") to understand the true scope of future BTC sales, which is significantly larger than the market initially perceived.

Goldman Sachs Report Deconstructs the Competitive Landscape of China's AI Large Models: Who Will Be the Long-Term Winner?

Goldman Sachs analyzes China's AI large language model (LLM) landscape, identifying key players and a strategic shift towards efficiency and global expansion. The report highlights that Chinese open-source/open-weight models are closing the performance gap with top global proprietary models at significantly lower cost, driven by architectural innovations like MoE. This enables a "two-tier" market: a high-end segment (e.g., GLM5.2, Qwen3.7 Max) with pricing at ~$1 per million tokens, and a low-end, price-sensitive global segment. Open-source strategies aid adoption but limit monetization, as deployments via third-party platforms (e.g., AWS Bedrock, Alibaba Cloud) may not generate direct revenue for model creators. The industry is thus moving towards "open-weight + community license" models with revenue-sharing to improve unit economics. Internationally, the focus is shifting from "token maximization" to ROI-driven enterprise adoption, particularly in non-U.S. markets. Major cloud platforms are integrating Chinese models (e.g., DeepSeek, MiniMax). Using a competitive framework based on pricing power, cost advantage, and financial strength, Goldman Sachs identifies **Zhipu AI** and **DeepSeek** as leaders in foundational text models, and **ByteDance** (with Seedance) leading in multimodal/video generation. **MiniMax** and **Kuaishou** are also rated favorably. The firm forecasts China's AI model API/subscription revenue growing from ~RMB 35bn (2026E) to RMB 879bn by 2030.
