FTX Team Targets SBF for Funding Injection from Skybridge Capital
According to documents, the FTX bankruptcy team alleges that SBF invested a significant amount of funds in Skybridge Capital before the collapse of FTX. These funds can be traced back to as early as January 2022 when SBF sponsored the SALT conference with a $12 million investment. Subsequently, in March 2022, SBF had Alameda Research invest $10 million in Skybridge Capital's Coin Fund. These collaborations quietly set the stage for FTX's financial crisis.
FTX Legal Battles Escalate as Teams Continue to Pursue Funds
Legal proceedings by FTX's bankruptcy restructuring team have been intensifying recently. On October 28th of this year, FTX filed a lawsuit against the exchange KuCoin, alleging violations of bankruptcy laws and demanding the release of $28 million in frozen cryptocurrency assets since FTX's closure in 2022. Due to market fluctuations, these assets have now appreciated to $50 million.
Additionally, FTX's affiliate Alameda Research filed a lawsuit against the exchange Crypto.com on November 7th, seeking to reclaim over $11 million in cryptocurrency assets held by Crypto.com since 2022.
