A new legal filing threatens to reawaken legal and diplomatic tensions between FTX_Official and its Bahamas arm. jackschickler reports.
The filing accuses Bahamas authorities of aiding Bankman-Fried’s attempts to escape justice, in a move likely to reawaken legal and diplomatic tensions.
The crypto exchange’s Bahamas arm FTX Digital Markets was placed into liquidation by the Bahamas courts on Nov. 10, and the wider corporate group filed for bankruptcy in Delaware on Nov. 11 – a confusing situation that already led to disputes over who can access centrally held corporate data. A filing made March 19 by FTX, now under the leadership of restructuring expert John J. Ray III, seeks to have Delaware courts entirely strip Bahamas liquidators of their role, by ruling FTX DM was an economic and legal “nullity” that doesn’t legitimately have any fiat, crypto or intellectual property to resolve.
FTX DM was “formed and functioned as an offshore haven for a continuous fraudulent scheme,” the filing reads, citing transfers of $143 million made to FTX DM bank accounts. Rather than being central to corporate operations, FTX DM was a short-lived match-making service that only started in May 2022, the filing added.
“Mr. Bankman-Fried, and others at his direction, maintained a close, accommodating relationship with Bahamian law enforcement agencies” including the Prime Minister, Attorney General and Securities Commission, the filing reads, adding that the FTX founder “aimed to leverage that relationship to minimize his criminal and civil exposure should the massive fraud be discovered.”
