二 |     FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried believed in utilitarianism and thought rules against lying or stealing inhibited his ability to maximize the greatest benefit for the most people, his former girlfriend and co-worker testified Wednesday at his federal fraud trial."He didn't think rules like 'don't lie' or 'don't steal' fit into that framework," Caroline Ellison, Bankman-Fried's on-again, off-again girlfriend, said.She said Bankman-Fried's belief caused her to accept behavior she recognized as wrong."I think it made me more willing to do things like lie or steal over time. When I started working at Alameda, I don't think I would have believed if you told me I would be sending false balance sheets or taking customer money," Ellison, who served as CEO of Alameda Research, said. "Over time it became something I was more comfortable with."Bankman-Fried faces seven counts of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering centered on his alleged use of customer deposits on the crypto trading platform FTX to cover losses at his hedge fund, Alameda Research, and to buy lavish real estate, among other personal expenses.On the witness stand for a second day Wednesday, Ellison walked the jury through Alameda balance sheets which, by October 2022, showed Bankman-Fried's private hedge fund owed FTX customers nearly $14 billion."We had a lot of risk on and we owed a lot of money to FTX customers," Ellison said. "We had no way to repay it."She said Bankman-Fried thought about trying to raise money from Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince, or by selling shares in FTX, which would collapse in bankruptcy the following month, in November 2022."I was in a state of dread. I was thinking, worrying, imagining every day what would happen if people tried to withdraw too much money at one time," she said. "I was imagining all the FTX customers who we worked with who would get hurt by this."To shore up Alameda's precarious financial position Bankman-Fried told Ellison to repay Alameda's loans with money it borrowed surreptitiously from FTX customers, she testified Wednesday."He directed me to continue repaying Alameda's loans," Ellison said."How?" prosecutor Danielle Sassoon asked."By taking money from FTX customer funds," she replied.When Sassoon asked her if she knew it was wrong, Ellison replied, "Yeah I thought it was wrong," but continued to do it because "Sam told me to."By that point, Alameda had taken about $10 billion from FTX and Ellison said she worried its lender, Genesis, would find out."We had been borrowing increasing amounts of money from FTX customers and I didn't want Genesis to know that," Ellison said. "I didn't want Genesis or others to know that Alameda was borrowing a lot of money from FTX."Ellison said Bankman-Fried cautioned her against putting anything in writing, once telling her, "Anything we put on Slack should be something we're comfortable seeing in The New York Times."Ellison also described a "large bribe to Chinese government officials to get some of our trading accounts unlocked." Alameda had two trading accounts worth about a billion dollars on exchanges based in China, which were both frozen in 2021 as part of a Chinese government investigation into money laundering.It was a substantial amount of Alameda's trading capital at the time and Ellison accused Bankman-Fried of saying "that we should send the cryptocurrency transfers" equaling about $100 million.。

三 | 国际足联此前宣布，将在本场比赛中场休息设置一场表演。此举或将大幅延长中场休息时间，打破《足球竞赛规则》中的相关规定。

五 | 考虑到演出可能需要搭建和拆除舞台，英国广播公司（BBC）等多家媒体预测本场决赛中场休息的实际时长将达到20-30分钟。而现行《足球竞赛规则》第7.2条规定，球员有权在半场时休息，但不得超过15分钟。事实上，20-30分钟的预测并非凭空而来。同样在新泽西体育场举行的2025年世俱杯决赛也设置了中场表演，导致中场休息实际时长达到了约25分钟。2024年美洲杯决赛中场休息同样因为表演而延长到了25分钟左右。2025年7月13日，在美国新泽西州进行的2025年国际足联俱乐部世界杯（世俱杯）决赛中，英格兰切尔西队3比0战胜法国巴黎圣日耳曼队，夺得冠军。新华社记者 黄宗治 摄值得一提的是，国际足球协会理事会曾在2021年11月否决了将中场休息从15分钟延长至25分钟的提案，理由是“多位成员表达了担忧，尤其考虑到长时间不活跃可能对球员福利和安全产生负面影响”。而如今，国际足联却屡次在国际赛事中主动引入“中场秀”。

六 | 本届世界杯开赛以来，从规则到仪式，处处可见美式体育的影子。最直观的改变是强制补水暂停。不少球迷调侃说，补水暂停将90分钟的足球比赛切割成类似篮球比赛的四节制。

九 | 国际足联在官方公告中明确表示，这是“将美国标志性的体育传统带给全球足球界”。这一系列操作，让人愈发感受到美式职业体育的商业逻辑对世界杯的渗透。前国际足联主席布拉特在社交媒体上发文称“世界杯正在变成‘超级碗’的翻版”，并质问国际足联“将走向何方”。针对各界的质疑，本次表演策划方负责人迈克尔·吉岑回应称，国际足联延长中场休息时间是“正确的”，批评者们“没有抓住重点”。

十 | “足球有自己的节奏和规则，这当然很重要，但世界杯并不是‘大多数时候’。”吉岑说，“面对单项体育赛事能吸引的最庞大的观众数，把它当做一场普通的周末比赛才有问题。”7月14日，国际足联主席因凡蒂诺（后排中）在看台上。新华社记者 黄宗治 摄不过，这一安排已经造成了现实上的困难。英国《卫报》报道称部分转播商正为可能延长的中场休息而发愁，他们向国际足联询问中场休息的实际时长，但没有得到回应。他们因此无法安排广告时间，无法出售广告位，这对于商业广播公司来说是巨大的问题。

十一 | 另据多家英国媒体报道，BBC已经决定不转播中场表演，而是将和以往一样，在中场时间由嘉宾对上半场比赛进行分析。目前，国际足联仍未公布决赛中场休息的具体方案和时长。参赛双方也未对此发表意见。
