$5 billion found in bankrupt crypto firm FTX

At the bankrupt cryptocurrency platform FTX, lawyers have discovered residual assets of a total of five billion dollars.

This amount was found in the form of “cash, liquid cryptocurrency and liquid securities”. That is what the lawyer handling the bankruptcy, Andrew Dietderich, said on Wednesday before a court in the US state of Delaware. The company is also “on track” to sell other assets with a book value of $4.6 billion.

However, according to Dietderich, it is still too early to say how much FTX will have to raise to compensate its former customers, who lost their balance practically overnight due to the bankruptcy.

Crypto world devastated by bankruptcy

FTX filed for bankruptcy in November, rocking the crypto world. The company’s business construction collapsed when it was revealed that FTX held its clients’ funds primarily in a specially issued cryptocurrency with no equivalent.

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has been charged in the US with fraud and money laundering, among other things. The 30-year-old was arrested in December in the Bahamas and extradited to the United States. (sda/afp)
