The crypto behemoth, now mired in a significant financial controversy, started liquidating assets after declaring bankruptcy in November of the previous year. The filing indicates that close to $2.6 billion in cash has already been secured.

FTX, previously headquartered in The Bahamas, came under the spotlight when its chief, Bankman-Fried, was arrested in December 2022. He was later charged in relation to his handling of the FTX exchange, which faced a liquidity crunch, culminating in its bankruptcy.

Prosecutors claim that Bankman-Fried misused customer funds and provided misleading information to investors about FTX’s risk management strategies. This alleged deception led to substantial monetary losses for both investors and regular customers.
