Since the collapse of the crypto exchange, FTX’s creditors claim to have recovered over $1.4 billion in cryptocurrencies and identified an additional $1.7 billion in recoverable assets. In the course of their investigation, they have also unearthed multiple backstage details regarding how SBF ran the crypto empire behemoth. In addition, they claim that they are continuously obtaining “new information daily” which they intend to present in due time.
Bankman-Fried is currently facing thirteen federal criminal indictments, all of which he has vehemently refuted and pleaded not guilty to. However, on the other hand, CEO Caroline Ellison and co-founder Gary Wang have pleaded guilty to the charges related to Alameda and FTX back in December of 2022.
