FTX's Legal Battles

FTX has initiated a series of lawsuits against multiple prominent entities, including Binance and its former CEO, in an attempt to recover nearly $1.8 billion. The legal action stems from allegations that Sam Bankman-Fried fraudulently transferred funds during a 2021 stock repurchase deal. FTX accuses Binance executives of benefitting from a transaction made while the company was insolvent, claiming Zhao's public statements about selling FTX's token contributed to its downfall. Additionally, FTX is pursuing claims against other high-profile figures and entities in an effort to recoup losses from Bankman-Fried's investments that they assert lacked tangible benefits.
