FTX Update | Latest report reveals: Alameda once transferred $3.2 billion to multiple executives, with SBF pocketing $2.2 billion alone
FTX reorganized its team and released a press release on March 15th, stating that based on the latest balance sheets and financial statements, it has been determined that over $3.2 billion in funds and loans were transferred to founder SBF and key executives:
$2.2 billion: FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried SBF
$587 million: Former FTX engineering director Nishad Singh
$246 million: FTX co-founder and CTO Gary Wang
$87 million: FTX Digital Markets FTX Bahamas entity Co-CEO Ryan Salame
$25 million: Former Alameda CEO Samuel Trabucco
$6 million: Former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison
The reorganization team at FTX pointed out that these funds do not include:
Political and charitable donations
$240 million used to purchase a mansion in the Bahamas
Transfers of funds to non-subsidiaries in jurisdictions such as the Bahamas
The $3.2 billion figure shows a significant discrepancy from previous data, with earlier reports indicating that Alameda had allocated loans of only about $1.6 billion:

FTX Creditor List Inquiry
An unofficial FTX Creditor account had previously forwarded an asset list of creditors on March 16th, covering all users' CID Customer ID and corresponding asset balances in various PDF documents.
CID is not the UID familiar to exchange users. Creditor users must search for their CID in the following PDF files using the asset balance they had with FTX at the end, for example, 0.87 BTC, and use 0.87 BTC as a keyword.
Subsequently, use the CID in the search tool "FTX Customers Search Tool" developed by Taiwanese developers to find all of your asset balances at once and verify if they match.
