4 Former FTX, Alameda Execs and Families Denied Bankruptcy Compensation


According to court filings filed this past weekend and on Monday, FTX Group holds a cash balance of around $1.24 billion, however, the current creditors list shows that FTX owes roughly $3.1 billion in assets. Furthermore, the new CEO of FTX, John Ray, has outlined how the beleaguered firm is exploring selling some of its subsidiaries. Ray noted that some of FTX’s licensed subsidiaries have “solvent balance sheets, responsible management, and valuable franchises.”


In another court document, the bankrupt company has stressed that former FTX and Alameda executives SBF, Caroline Ellison, Gary Wang, and Nishad Singh will not see any payments from the Chapter 11 proceedings. “No amounts will be paid under the authority requested by this motion to any of the following persons or any person known by the debtors to have a familial relationship to any of Samuel Bankman-Fried, Gary Wang, Nishad Singh, or Caroline Ellison,” the filing highlights.
