FTX founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried could face up to 50 years in prison for committing wire fraud, securities and commodities fraud, and money laundering. Bankman-Fried's former colleagues, including his ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison, testified against him in a five-week trial. Ellison revealed that Bankman-Fried ordered her to create false balance sheets and confirmed that he repeatedly took customer funds to invest in Alameda Research. Co-founders Gary Wang and Nishad Singh also testified about their involvement in the scheme. Bankman-Fried's sentencing hearing begins today, with prosecutors recommending a 40-50 year prison sentence.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the US's 125% tariff increase on China: China does not want to fight a tariff war, but is not afraid of it
regarding the US announcement of imposing a 125% tariff on China, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said that the US, out of selfish interests, is using tariffs as a weapon to exert extreme pressure and seek private gains, severely infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of all countries, seriously violating the rules of the World Trade Organization, seriously undermining the rules-based multilateral trading system, and seriously disrupting the stability of the global economic order. This is openly defying the will of the world and going against the entire world. I want to emphasize once again that there are no winners in a tariff war or trade war. China does not want to fight, but is not afraid to fight. We will never allow the legitimate rights of the Chinese people to be deprived, and we will never allow the international economic and trade rules and multilateral trading system to be destroyed. If the US insists on waging a tariff war or trade war, China will definitely fight to the end. The US is prioritizing its own interests over the common interests of the international community, sacrificing the legitimate interests of all countries in the world to serve its hegemonic interests, which will inevitably face even stronger opposition from the international community. -
