FTX Customers Demand Retroactive Crypto Valuation to the Moon!

FTX’s Revised Plan for Reorganization Addresses Crypto Claims Valuation.

Let’s dive into the latest shenanigans happening in the world of cryptocurrencies. The debtors of the defunct FTX exchange have come up with an out-of-this-world idea to value customer asset claims retroactively. It’s like taking a trip in a time machine, but instead of going back to see dinosaurs, we’re going back to the date of FTX’s collapse in November last year.

In a recent court filing at the United States Bankruptcy Court, the debtors proposed that any customer claim seeking compensation should be based on the asset’s value as of November 11, 2022. Talk about a blast from the past! But here’s the kicker – they want to convert those crypto assets into cash using conversion rates specified in a conversion table. It’s like trying to decipher an alien language!

Now, we all know that prices in the crypto world can skyrocket faster than a SpaceX rocket. Since the bankruptcy filing, Bitcoin has gone on a rollercoaster ride. Can you believe it was valued at $17,036 during the filing and has now skyrocketed to $42,272? It’s like watching a rocket take off, only to see it land on the moon!

But that’s not all, folks! FTX recently received approval to sell around $873 million worth of trust assets. They’re planning to use the proceeds to repay the creditors. It’s like selling moon rocks to pay off your debts! And to make things even more interesting, the FTX 2.0 Customer Ad Hoc Committee proposed revising the reorganization plan to ensure a fair balance among the stakeholders’ interests. It’s like trying to find common ground on a distant planet!

But the fun doesn’t stop there, in a galaxy far, far away. There has been growing scrutiny regarding the activities of crypto assets associated with both FTX and Alameda Research. Reports emerged that wallets linked to these defunct entities had transferred digital assets worth $23.59 million to multiple cryptocurrency exchanges. It’s like a secret mission to spread crypto across the galaxy!

In the midst of all this chaos, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is facing potential prison time. He was found guilty of defrauding customers and lenders. While his theoretical maximum sentence could be a whopping 115 years, legal experts suggest he might only serve 15-20 years. That’s like going from riding a spaceship to being stuck in a space pod for a while. But here’s the twist – some of Bankman-Fried’s accomplices, like Caroline Ellison, Gary Wang, and Nishad Singh, might receive little to no prison time for their cooperation. It’s like a cosmic chess game where some players are spared while others face their intergalactic fate.

Now, the government might demand the return of ill-gotten gains and order restitution payments to victims. Given the billions of dollars in losses suffered by FTX customers, the financial burden on these three witnesses could be astronomical! It’s like having to pay back the Intergalactic Treasury one star at a time.

But wait, there’s more drama! The debtors of FTX are now dealing with the pesky IRS claiming $24 billion in taxes. They argue that their earnings were nowhere near that amount and instead, they incurred substantial losses. It’s like the IRS is trying to extract crypto from a black hole! Lawyers representing the bankrupt exchange stated, “The only source of recovery for the IRS is by taking recoveries away from victims.” It’s like a cosmic battle for justice, where innocent victims are caught in the middle.

As I wrap up this tale of interstellar financial madness, one thing is for sure: the world of cryptocurrencies is a wild ride. So, strap on your spacesuit and hold on tight because who knows what other cosmic adventures await us. See you on the moon, fellow investors!
