自FTX崩溃以来,Sam Bankman Fried已成为许多诉讼和调查的对象,接下来可能还会面临更多的诉讼。

自FTX前首席执行官Sam Bankman Fried(SBF)的加密帝国崩溃以来,针对他的诉讼数量一直在增加,这位前加密“白骑士”在FTX破产后提起的七起集体诉讼中成为被告。

这些诉讼与审查FTX和SBF的众多调查是分开的,比如美国联邦检察官对市场操纵的调查,以及联邦选举委员会可能对SBF向共和党提供的黑钱捐款进行的调查。

下文总结了自11月11日以来针对SBF提起的集体诉讼。

12月7日:Podalsky等人诉SBF等人

在Gregg Podalsky和其他四名个人提起的这起集体诉讼中,前FTX客户指控金州勇士队、SBF以及其他众多名人和FTX高管欺诈地诱导“经验不足的投资者”以收益账户的形式购买未注册证券,导致客户损失数十亿美元。

诉讼中提到的其他公众人物还有汤姆·布拉迪、Kevin O‘Leary、斯蒂芬·库里、特雷弗·劳伦斯和 沙奎尔·奥尼尔,Podalsky要求此案由陪审团审判。

12月5日:Jessup诉SBF等人

FTX客户Michael Elliott Jessup对SBF、Alameda前首席执行官Caroline Ellison和其他FTX高管提起集体诉讼,指控他们有欺诈、不当得利和转换的行为。

法律案件中的不当得利是指在法律认为不公正的情况下,一个人以牺牲另一个人的利益为代价而致富的情况,而转换是指一个人将另一个人的财产 "转换"为自己的情况。

Jessup还要求此案有陪审团,他声称,在FTX上持有资金的客户拥有其加密资产的合法所有权,而被告在没有授权的情况下将这些资产转移给Alameda Research,-在Jessup的律师看来,这构成了转换。

12月2日:Hawkins诉Bankman Fried等人

这起诉讼在加利福尼亚州提起,是由一位在FTX交易所持有资金的客户Russell Hawkins代表所有处境相似的人提起的集体诉讼,并指控SBF等人让客户受到了不公平和欺诈行为的误导。

这起诉讼的被告包括SBF和其他FTX高管,以及会计师事务所Armanino和Prager Metis——其出具的认证报告将FTX的财务状况视为良好。诉讼文件中指出:

如文件所述,个别被告就YBA(收益账户)和FTX实体发表了不真实或误导性的言论。他们公开表示,FTX实体和YBA是投资加密货币的一种可行且安全的方式,这种言论旨在欺骗消费者向FTX实体投资。

11月23日:Pierce诉SBF等人

与Hawkins案的被告相同,FTX客户Stephen Pierce在加利福尼亚州提起了集体诉讼,指控SBF是“历史上最大的诈骗者之一”,他“和他的核心集团将这些资产视为一个行贿基金,用于资助他们自己的专有投资和各种个人活动。”

Pierce再次要求成立陪审团,指控SBF违反了《受敲诈者影响和腐败组织法》(RICO)。

敲诈勒索是一种有组织犯罪,其中建立了非法的协调计划或行动,使犯罪者能够持续地获取利润。

11月21日:Kavuri诉SBF等人

FTX客户Sunil Kavuri在佛罗里达州提起了一项类似于Podalsky诉SBF的集体诉讼,其中列出的被告包括为FTX代言或以其他方式宣传FTX的名人或公众人物,据称他们没有披露他们在该公司获得的报酬或股份。

这也是美国证券交易委员会可能密切关注的一个案件,Kavuri指控FTX正在推广未注册证券,这欺诈性地将其呈现为证券,以吸引客户并让他们对此产生兴趣。

11月20日:Lam诉SBF等人

香港居民兼FTX客户Elliot Lam是在加利福尼亚州提起的另一项集体诉讼的原告,他指控SBF、Ellison和金州勇士队违反了加利福尼亚州的虚假广告和不公平竞争法,还犯有欺诈性隐瞒和民事共谋罪。

Lam声称,被告向不知道 "FTX和YBA的真实性质"的公众销售和推销,如果公众掌握与被告相同的信息,他们就不会选择使用FTX的产品——因此构成欺诈性隐瞒。

11月15日:Garrison诉SBF等人

这起诉讼再次包括了一连串名人演员和公众人物,据了解,他们曾为FTX代言或参与营销活动,Edwin Garrison在佛罗里达州提起的集体诉讼指控FTX的YBA是非法提供的证券。

Garrison还指责FTX从事欺骗性和不公平的商业行为,并参与了一个“欺诈计划”,故意利用“经验不足的投资者”。

一旦这些投诉和必要的文件被提交,就会有案件编号,并立即被指派给一名法官。然后,每个被告都会收到传票和起诉书,法官会列出一份时间表,概述接下来的步骤。

Podcast Notes: Hyperliquid Has Become the Top Interest Point for Traditional Hedge Funds

Empire Podcast hosts Jason Yanowitz and Santiago Santos discuss the surging institutional interest in Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual exchange, marking the highest level of engagement from traditional hedge fund managers since Paul Tudor Jones endorsed Bitcoin in 2020. The primary driver is the demand for weekend trading of commodities like oil, especially during geopolitical tensions such as the Iran conflict, as Hyperliquid provides the only active price discovery venue when traditional markets are closed. Trade XYZ, a front-end on Hyperliquid, has seen significant growth, with weekend oil price predictions having a median error of only 50 basis points. Santos predicts commodity trading volume on Hyperliquid will surpass Bitcoin within the year and that its market cap could rise from $25 billion to $100 billion. Other key points include Kraken raising $200 million at a reduced valuation of $13.3 billion, and the SEC clarifying that self-custodied DeFi frontends like MetaMask are not subject to broker-dealer rules, resolving a major regulatory uncertainty. The hosts also note the strong correlation between crypto and macro markets, with the S&P 500 posting one of its best 10-day rallies since 1950. They highlight MicroStrategy's continued Bitcoin acquisitions and the potential of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization as a key trend. The discussion concludes with skepticism towards many L2 projects, predicting a wave of protocols truly going to zero as capital concentrates in proven assets like Bitcoin and Hyperliquid.

a16z: The Next Frontier of AI, The Triple Flywheel of Robotics, Autonomous Science, and Brain-Computer Interfaces

a16z presents a comprehensive investment thesis for the next frontier of AI: Physical AI, centered on a synergistic flywheel of robotics, autonomous science, and novel human-computer interfaces (HCIs) like brain-computers. While the current AI paradigm scales on language and code, the most disruptive future capabilities will emerge from three adjacent fields leveraging five core technical primitives: 1) learned representations of physical dynamics (via models like VLA, WAM, and native embodied models), 2) embodied action architectures (e.g., dual-system designs, diffusion-based motion generation, and RL fine-tuning like RECAP), 3) simulation and synthetic data as scaling infrastructure, 4) expanded sensory channels (touch, neural signals, silent speech, olfaction), and 5) closed-loop agent systems for long-horizon tasks. These primitives converge to power three key domains: * **Robotics:** The literal embodiment of AI, requiring all primitives for real-world physical interaction and manipulation. * **Autonomous Science:** Self-driving labs that conduct hypothesis-experiment-analysis loops, generating structured, causally-grounded data to improve physical AI models. * **Novel HCIs:** Devices (AR glasses, EMG wearables, BCIs) that expand human-AI bandwidth and act as massive data-collection networks for real-world human experience. These domains form a mutually reinforcing flywheel: Robotics enable autonomous labs, which in turn generate valuable data for robotics and materials science. New interfaces provide rich human-physical interaction data to train better robots and scientists. Together, they represent a new scaling axis for AI, moving beyond the digital realm to interact with and learn from physical reality, promising significant emergent capabilities and value.

Conversation with Bitwise Advisor: From K-Shaped Economy to AI Taking Jobs, How Can Bitcoin Save the Younger Generation?

Jeff Park, a macro strategist and advisor at Bitwise, argues that the traditional financial system is broken, particularly for young generations. He describes a "K-shaped economy" where asset inflation enriches the wealthy while leaving others behind, with unaffordable housing as a key symptom. Park explains that real estate is often a depreciating asset due to maintenance costs and taxes, yet it remains unattainable for many young people due to distorted demand from global capital flows. He proposes Bitcoin as a superior store of value—scarce, portable, and free from maintenance costs or excessive taxation. By diverting capital away from real estate, Bitcoin could help lower housing prices and increase accessibility. Park also discusses the decline of traditional "smart investing" (e.g., value stocks) and the rise of "ideological investing" in non-correlated assets like crypto, luxury goods, and collectibles. On AI, Park warns it could trigger extreme social inequality by eliminating jobs while boosting corporate profits. He believes this will push younger generations toward Bitcoin, not only as a hedge but also as a symbol of decentralization and data sovereignty—offering an alternative to centralized AI systems that use personal data without fair compensation. He advises a diversified portfolio with Bitcoin as a core holding to hedge against currency devaluation and systemic risk.
