文章摘要

Bankman-Fried’s one-time friends and co-defendants Caroline Ellison, Gary Wang, and Nishad Singh have already settled with the investors.

Sam Bankman-Fried has inked a settlement agreement with a group of FTX customers who have agreed to drop their class action lawsuit against him in exchange for his help going after celebrity promoters of the collapsed exchange.

The agreement, filed in a Miami court on Friday, has not yet been approved by a judge. If approved, the settlement would release Bankman-Fried from both current and future civil liability tied to the collapse of FTX.

Bankman-Fried's end of the bargain will see him providing the plaintiffs’ attorneys with information – including both testimony and documents in his possession – to “aid in victim recovery” and assist their litigation efforts against a host of celebrity promoters and venture capital firms who endorsed FTX. He has also agreed to provide the attorneys with financial information and documents, including a total of his remaining personal assets and his firm’s 2021 investment in AI startup Anthropic.

The pending settlement agreement comes shortly after Bankman-Fried was convicted of fraud and sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in FTX’s implosion. Bankman-Fried has appealed his sentence and conviction.

Bankman-Fried’s one-time friends, colleagues and co-defendants Caroline Ellison, Nishad Singh and Gary Wang, as well as FTX lawyer Dan Friedberg, have made similar settlement agreements with the plaintiffs’ attorneys.

Several of the smaller celebrity promoters – including finance Youtubers Andrei Jikh, Graham Stephan, Jaspreet Singh, Tom Nash, Brian Jung and Jeremy Lefebvre – have also settled, contributing to a common fund of $1.4 million to fund the lawsuit, according to court documents.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who was paid $500,000 in 2022 to endorse FTX subsidiary Blockfolio, also settled with the plaintiffs last year.

But most of the big name promoters of FTX – like athletes Tom Brady, Steph Curry, Shaquille O’Neill, Naomi Osaka and Shohei Otani and supermodel Gisele Bundchen – are fighting the lawsuit, as are over a dozen domestic and international venture capital firms.

以太坊下一站 Glamsterdam:你必须知道的核心升级点

以太坊计划于2026年下半年进行的Glamsterdam升级,并非一次简单的吞吐量提升,而是对出块、验证和资源定价机制的重构,为未来更高Gas上限、更大数据容量及并行执行奠定基础。 此次升级的核心内容包括:**协议内提议者-构建者分离(ePBS,EIP-7732)**,将区块提议与交易构建的职责在协议层面分离,延长执行负载的传播验证窗口,提升网络处理更大负载的安全性,并减少对外部中继的依赖。**区块级访问列表(BAL,EIP-7928)**,为每个区块记录其执行过程中访问的账户和存储位置,为客户端实现并行处理、验证和状态计算创造条件。**状态创建成本重定价(EIP-8037)**,提高创建新状态(如账户、合约)的Gas成本,以抑制以太坊状态数据库的过快膨胀,在扩容执行能力的同时控制节点的长期存储负担。 此外,升级清单还包括调整各类资源Gas定价、增强EVM功能等多方面改进。一批EIP仍在考虑纳入,其中涉及改善质押者退出流动性的提案(如EIP-8061、EIP-8080)值得关注。 与此同时,以太坊基金会协议团队发生人事变动,官方表示正转向一个由多个组织共同协作的联盟模式来推进以太坊发展。Glamsterdam标志着以太坊在追求更高性能的道路上,对底层协议工程与生态系统治理结构的一次重要调整。
