一 | 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.。
二 | 北京8月20日电（记者朱高祥）记者8月20日从民政部获悉，民政部、财政部近日联合印发《关于积极发展服务类社会救助的指导意见》。这是社会救助法颁布实施后的首个配套政策文件，将推动社会救助由单一物质救助方式向“物质+服务”综合救助模式转变，更好发挥社会救助“保基本、防风险、促发展”作用。 服务类社会救助是通过提供服务实施社会救助的一种方式，主要面向有需求的各类社会救助对象，以满足其依靠自身能力难以获取的基本生活方面的服务需求。意见明确，现阶段各地可根据实际将分散供养特困人员和最低生活保障家庭成员作为重点对象，有针对性地提供服务类社会救助。
三 | 摸清困难群众需求是开展服务类社会救助的前提。意见提出建立服务类社会救助需求评估体系，要科学设置需求评估指标，细化评估标准；要结合社会救助对象认定和动态管理工作，同步开展服务类社会救助需求评估，做到定期梳理、更新需求台账。
四 | 在制定服务类社会救助供给清单方面，意见提出，各地要结合本地经济社会发展水平、政府财政承受能力、社会救助对象服务需求、服务资源供给能力等因素，编制服务类社会救助供给清单，有针对性地为救助对象提供照护服务、生活服务、关爱服务等；要求制定清单量力而行，与各项社会福利制度和社会保险制度做好统筹衔接。 意见还就积极引导社会力量有序参与、合理确定筹资渠道和服务模式作出要求。意见提出建立健全政府主导、多元参与的服务类社会救助工作机制；充分利用一般公共预算资金、彩票公益金、社会捐赠等现有资源合理确定服务类社会救助资金筹措渠道，并根据救助对象类型、困难程度等，按需匹配服务模式。
