sam bankman fried Sept. 30 filing: FTX trial impact

2025/10/31 19:01

Sam Bankman-Fried argued FTX and Alameda were solvent, citing roughly $25 billion in assets and $16 billion in equity before the Nov 2022 crisis, according to The Block.

Does the Sept. 30 filing affect the Sam Bankman Fried trial?

The document claims the November run was a liquidity shock — an $8 billion withdrawal demand — and argues assets could have covered outflows. It accuses external counsel and the new CEO, John J. Ray III, of steering FTX into bankruptcy and undervaluing holdings.

The filing also alleges consultants and advisers led to asset sales, including about $7 billion of FTT sold, and that settlements and write‑downs reduced recoveries for creditors.

How do FTX bankruptcy fees and asset sales shape recoveries?

Bankruptcy papers in the public debate cite nearly $1 billion in fees paid to professionals, a point the filing criticises as reducing assets available for customers. The document claims that estate actions produced much lower returns than the parties believed possible.

Note: the filing goes further, asserting a hypothetical combined value of about $136 billion if certain assets and equity had been preserved — a contention disputed by trustees and other stakeholders.

Could a Sam Bankman-Fried pardon change restitution or proceedings?

The Block notes the filing comes amid persistent legal and political manoeuvres: the piece references a Nov 2023 conviction and a reported 25‑year sentence, and states that Bankman‑Fried’s team has pursued clemency, reportedly seeking clemency to Trump.

Even if political relief were pursued, criminal clemency would not directly unwind civil bankruptcy actions, asset sales, or creditor distributions now under litigation.

What now for FTX stakeholders?

In brief, trustees and creditors must reconcile disputed valuations from the Sept. 30 document with realised recoveries and legal costs while litigation proceeds. The contested narrative — from the Nov 2022 crisis to alleged fee and sale decisions — will shape any remaining distributions and oversight of the estate.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
