sam bankman fried Sept. 30 filing: FTX trial impact

2025/10/31 19:01

Sam Bankman-Fried argued FTX and Alameda were solvent, citing roughly $25 billion in assets and $16 billion in equity before the Nov 2022 crisis, according to The Block.

Does the Sept. 30 filing affect the Sam Bankman Fried trial?

The document claims the November run was a liquidity shock — an $8 billion withdrawal demand — and argues assets could have covered outflows. It accuses external counsel and the new CEO, John J. Ray III, of steering FTX into bankruptcy and undervaluing holdings.

The filing also alleges consultants and advisers led to asset sales, including about $7 billion of FTT sold, and that settlements and write‑downs reduced recoveries for creditors.

How do FTX bankruptcy fees and asset sales shape recoveries?

Bankruptcy papers in the public debate cite nearly $1 billion in fees paid to professionals, a point the filing criticises as reducing assets available for customers. The document claims that estate actions produced much lower returns than the parties believed possible.

Note: the filing goes further, asserting a hypothetical combined value of about $136 billion if certain assets and equity had been preserved — a contention disputed by trustees and other stakeholders.

Could a Sam Bankman-Fried pardon change restitution or proceedings?

The Block notes the filing comes amid persistent legal and political manoeuvres: the piece references a Nov 2023 conviction and a reported 25‑year sentence, and states that Bankman‑Fried’s team has pursued clemency, reportedly seeking clemency to Trump.

Even if political relief were pursued, criminal clemency would not directly unwind civil bankruptcy actions, asset sales, or creditor distributions now under litigation.

What now for FTX stakeholders?

In brief, trustees and creditors must reconcile disputed valuations from the Sept. 30 document with realised recoveries and legal costs while litigation proceeds. The contested narrative — from the Nov 2022 crisis to alleged fee and sale decisions — will shape any remaining distributions and oversight of the estate.

USD/CHF rises on US dollar rebound, weak Swiss economic data

The post USD/CHF rises on US dollar rebound, weak Swiss economic data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CHF trades slightly higher on Friday, around 0.8060, up 0.15% at the time of writing. The pair remains on track for a weekly gain, supported by the persistent weakness of the US Dollar (USD) amid growing expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The US Dollar Index (DXY) is heading toward its worst weekly performance since July, despite a modest rebound on Friday driven by firmer US Treasury yields. Investors continue to price in substantial monetary easing over the next 12 months. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the chance of a 25-basis-point cut at the December meeting now stands at 85%, compared with less than 40% one month ago. This dynamic is reinforced by dovish comments from several Fed officials and this week’s soft US Retail Sales data. Speculation within the National Economic Council (NEC), suggesting that Kevin Hassett may emerge as the leading candidate to replace Jerome Powell in May, also fuels expectations of a prolonged easing cycle through 2026. In this context, US Dollar rallies are likely to remain contained unless the macroeconomic backdrop shifts meaningfully. In Switzerland, the Swiss Franc (CHF) lacks momentum following economic indicators that came in well below expectations. Swiss Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted 0.5% (QoQ) in Q3, below the 0.4% contraction consensus and after a revision of the previous quarter to 0.2%. Growth YoY slowed to 0.5%, far below the previously reported 1.3%. The only positive signal came from the KOF Leading Indicator, which improved to 101.7 from 101.03, slightly above consensus. Still, the data confirms a slowdown in the Swiss economy, reinforcing expectations that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) may keep its policy rate at 0.00% potentially through 2027, according to several analysts. Overall, the environment continues to favour USD/CHF upside, although the pair remains sensitive to…
