According to a court filing FTX Trading LTD owes its top 50 creditors over $3 billion USD. The document, which was submitted through the United States bankruptcy court for the district of Delaware, was filed as part of the company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
The filing indicated that FTX owes the top individual alone in excess of $226 million USD, with all others owed sums approximately ranging between $21 million and $203 million. The creditors’ identities are unknown, and their locations undisclosed.
Following its rapid collapse, FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Nov. 11. The company announced at that time that it had hired a new CEO, John J. Ray III, to oversee the proceedings, and that the company’s former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried had resigned from his position.
Ray stated at the time, “The immediate relief of Chapter 11 is appropriate to provide the FTX Group the opportunity to assess its situation and develop a process to maximize recoveries for stakeholders. The FTX Group has valuable assets that can only be effectively administered in an organized, joint process.”
The filings following that initial announcement have since speculated that FTX may have over 1 million creditors total.
