The situation surrounding the FTX bankruptcy is evolving, with the Chief Restructuring Officer and CEO debunking claims made by Sam Bankman-Fried about the firm's solvency. Allegations have surfaced regarding FTX's financial maneuvers, including selling and buying Bitcoin and Ethereum to manipulate its reserves during market fluctuations. This strategy allegedly prevented the last crypto cycle's blow-off top, involving the fraudulent use of customer funds. Meanwhile, FTX is exploring the sale of its valuable shares, potentially allowing customers to receive higher payouts due to a recent surge in crypto prices. Claims against FTX have surged in value, with bids approaching 93 cents on the dollar. There's optimism that FTX could repay customers 120-140% of their assets' worth at the time of the bankruptcy filing, thanks to the spike in crypto prices and the company's stake in Anthropic.
