The draft FTX bankruptcy plan is being lauded for paying out more—in dollar terms—to creditors than expected. But it’s at the cost of customers who hold the most valuable assets on the exchange.

Thomas Braziel, managing partner at 117 Partners, dives into the draft FTX bankruptcy plan, which was praised for paying out at more than 100% in dollar terms, but has several intricacies that are drawing criticisms from creditors—including a group that is urging creditors to vote not.
The episode delves into the nuances of the proposed payout, explaining how the estate was able to pay back more than 100% of the dollar value of the claims, why some creditors are being pitted against each other, and why it might get approved even “over the kicking and screaming” of some creditors.
Braziel gives his insights into the rapid formation of this plan, the controversial role of Sullivan and Cromwell, and the logistical challenges posed by what may end up being paper check payouts.
