The ongoing FTX bankruptcy case in the United States has reportedly incurred fees nearing $1 billion. The lawsuit runs parallel to the customer reimbursement process and aims to monitor the digital assets and cash flows involved.
FTX Legal Expenses
According to Bloomberg, attorneys have billed approximately $948 million as of January 2. Court records indicate that fees exceeding $952 million have been approved. Leading law firm Sullivan & Cromwell LLP has reportedly received around $248.6 million, while financial advisor Alvarez and Marsal’s fees have approached $306 million.
FTX Litigation Process
Consultants representing customers have claimed fees of about $110.3 million. John Ray’s consulting firm, overseeing the proceedings after FTX’s collapse, has been compensated more than $8 million. Legal experts continue to track various accounts and assets belonging to FTX as part of the case.
The bankruptcy case continues while also addressing other related lawsuits, with a reimbursement process initiated on February 18 aimed at more effectively monitoring the assets in the estate.
Despite the enormous fees, experts emphasize that these expenditures are crucial for tracking the billions of dollars in cryptocurrency and cash involved in the case. Compared to other lawsuits observed in court, the FTX bankruptcy is being managed at a lower cost than the Lehman Brothers case, which was historically significant and much larger than FTX.
FTX reimbursements are scheduled to occur in the upcoming April and May months through Kraken and BitGo. This process is considered one of the critical elements in resolving the bankruptcy proceedings.
The developments provide essential insights regarding the tracking of assets in the bankruptcy process and the implementation of reimbursement plans. Further efforts are anticipated as the process progresses, focusing on additional assets and accounts.
