Bankruptcy lawyers representing victims of the dramatic cryptocurrency exchange implosion at FTX just 17 months ago have now announced that the vast majority of victims will indeed receive their money back β Π°nd then some! π
The saga began when FTX co-founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) was found guilty on seven counts related to fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering. A staggering $8 billion of customer funds had gone missing, leaving investors in despair. SBF was slapped with a 25-year prison sentence and ordered to pay a jaw-dropping $11 billion in forfeiture. His appeal, filed last month, could drag on for years.
But fear not, fellow cryptΠΎ enthusiasts! The FTX estate, under the new leadership of U.S. attorney John J. Ray III, has been hard Π°t work. Ray, who once declared he didnβt βtrust a single piece of paper in this organization,β had embarked on a mission to track down the missing billions.
And guess what? A whopping 98% of FTX investors will receive 118% of the value of their FTX-stored assets in cold, hard cash! The other creditors wonβt be left empty-handed either; theyβll get a solid 100% return, plus βbillions in compensation for the time value of their investments.β π°

Whatβs more! The FTX estate plans to distribute between $14.5 billion and $16.3 billion in cash, including assets from various entities. Itβs like a crypto treasure hunt: real estate, political donations, and even a $500 million investment in an AI company before the generative AI boom. Talk about a moonshot! π
While the bankruptcy court still needs to approve the reorganization plan, the intention is clear: resolve disputes without costly litigation. Unfortunately, the creditors wonβt ride the Bitcoin bull; FTXβs shortfall in Bitcoin and Ethereum wonβt translate into crypto riches. But hey, at least they wonβt need to decipher any more blockchain whitepapers!Β
