FTX Opposes BlockFi’s Bankruptcy Plan

Submitted by jhartgen@abi.org on

FTX objected to BlockFi’s bankruptcy plan Wednesday, claiming it “still suffers from certain fundamental shortcomings,” BlockWorks reported. FTX’s attorneys believe that “the Plan unfairly discriminates against the FTX Claims in certain respects” and have asked the court to deny the plan. The opposition comes after BlockFi claimed it fell victim to FTX’s former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried actions. FTX is accused of misappropriating and commingling customer funds with Alameda Trading, its sister firm, in a scheme to defraud investors. FTX is attempting to recover both loan repayments and collateral from the bankrupt crypto lender. “The FTX Debtors do not seek to impede the BlockFi Debtors’ efforts to return value to their creditors, but, in the absence of a consensual resolution, must ensure any plan is fair to the FTX Debtors’ creditors, who are the beneficiaries of the FTX Claims,” the Wednesday filing said.
