FTX News: What comes as the latest twist in the FTX story, the bankrupt crypto exchange on Sunday filed a lawsuit against the Bahamian lawyers who are in charge of the liquidation of its affiliate FTX Digital Markets. FTX is reportedly accusing the liquidators of making false claims of ownership over the exchange’s assets.
FTX Sues Bahamian Liquidators

FTX referred to FTX DM as a “fraudulent enterprise.” FTX DM had initially been established just as a local service firm, and it did not possess the FTX.com exchange or any of the seized cryptocurrencies. Since FTX submitted its petition for protection from creditors on November 11, the company has been at conflict with officials in the Bahamas.
The filing stated that,
If the FTX debtors succeed in this adversary proceeding, there will be no property of FTX DM for local proceedings in The Bahamas to resolve.
Bahama’s Ongoing Tussle
The Securities Commission of the Bahamas initiated liquidation proceedings against FTX DM just one day before FTX Trading and more than one hundred affiliates filed for bankruptcy in the United States. Since then, the two parties have engaged in a contentious dispute regarding ownership of FTX assets and access to company information.
Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of FTX, was taken into custody on fraud-related charges, and his trial is scheduled to begin in October. On March 16, FTX revealed that Bankman-Fried received $2.2 billion in customer funds from the company over a time period in which the cryptocurrency exchange lost $8 billion of its customers’ funds.
