FTX Creditors Demand SBF’s Forfeited Property, Lawyers File Petition

As a crypto investor who had my fair share of losses due to FTX’s collapse, I wholeheartedly support the efforts of Adam Moskowitz and David Boies in their pursuit of justice for us, the affected creditors. The petition they have filed seeking the forfeiture of property linked to Sam Bankman-Fried is a significant step towards potential restitution.


As a legal analyst, I can share that the class action lawyers representing FTX creditors, Adam Moskowitz and David Boies, have made a significant move in their quest for justice on behalf of those impacted by the downfall of the cryptocurrency exchange, FTX. They have filed a petition with Judge Moore in Florida, requesting the seizure of assets connected to Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder under scrutiny.

As a researcher investigating the aftermath of FTX’s collapse, I would describe the petition as an attempt to recover assets linked to SBF that could potentially offer compensation to the vast number of affected creditors who have been left in financial distress.

Creditors’ Claims and Legal Arguments

Sunil Kavuri, representing FTX creditors, has made it known that their lawyers, Moskowitz and Boies, have submitted a petition in Florida. The objective is to seize property tied to SBF (Sam Bankman-Fried), as the assets are believed to be forfeited and no longer belonging to FTX. Creditors argue that these specific claims fall outside the scope of the multidistrict litigation (MDL) lawsuit, maintaining that the disputed assets rightfully belong to the customers rather than FTX.

Based on Kavuri’s interpretation, the Terms of Service make it evident that those assets belong to the plaintiffs. Notably, FTX insiders have also verified this fact. The creditors are adamant about their cryptocurrencies being a direct result of SBF’s investments, thereby strengthening their claim to retrieve their property.

Opposition to FTX’s Reorganization Plan

As an analyst, I’ve reviewed the latest development in the FTX multi-district litigation (MDL), where the Moskowitz Law Firm and Boies Schiller Flexner LLP represent numerous plaintiffs. These law firms have voiced their objections to the proposed reorganization plan for FTX Trading Ltd. and its associated entities.

Critics point out that the recovery estimates in the proposed plan are questioned due to the increase in cryptocurrency values since the filing of the petition, which is not reflected in the disclosures made under Bankruptcy Code section 1125.

Sunil Kavuri, representing FTX’s creditors, has expressed disagreement with the proposed compensation plan. He proposes an alternative solution where debts should be settled using cryptocurrency instead of their dollar value at bankruptcy filing. This approach ensures that creditors receive a fair compensation amount based on current market values.
