FTX Creditors Express Discontent with Proposed Payout Deal
Creditors of the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX are unsatisfied with a plan that offers to recover 118% of their losses. The leaders of a 1600-member voting block urge members to reject the proposal due to valuation discrepancies and unfavorable stipulations. The plan, aiming for a full recovery plus interest, draws criticism for assigning a dollar value to crypto assets claims instead of their present value.
Challenges and Concerns Surrounding FTX Bankruptcy Plan
The FTX bankruptcy plan, focused on repaying creditors in full, faces objections over stipulations regarding preference actions and potential post-approval changes. Creditors express concerns about the ability of the plan administrator to alter terms after its approval and limitations on pursuing other avenues for recovery. Additionally, a clause shielding FTX's attorneys from liability raises questions about creditor protection moving forward.
FTX has a plan to repay its former crypto customers more than the billions of dollars they lost in the latest bankruptcy proposal. But some will reject it anyway.
