FTX’s bankruptcy managers have taken legal action against Bybit crypto exchange, along with two other entities, in an effort to recover $953 million in assets that were withdrawn before the collapse of FTX. The lawsuit specifically targets Bybit and its investment arm, Mirana Corp, accusing them of pressuring FTX employees to process the withdrawals. It is alleged that Mirana Corp had special privileges that allowed the withdrawal of assets from FTX, and the timing of these withdrawals coincided with a surge leading up to FTX’s collapse. The objective of the lawsuit is to recover the approximately $953 million in assets, including over $327 million that was allegedly withdrawn between November 7 and 8 last year.
This legal action is part of FTX’s broader efforts to recover funds that were withdrawn prior to its collapse. The company has already recovered $7 billion worth of assets, including cryptocurrency, through various recovery initiatives. In addition to the lawsuit against Bybit and Mirana Corp, FTX has filed lawsuits against its former executives and other firms that received funds from them. By pursuing these legal avenues, FTX aims to ensure an equitable distribution of assets among all the victims of its failure. Meanwhile, the FTX estate is also maximizing its crypto holdings by transferring over $300 million worth of assets to exchanges, including Solana and Ethereum. Overall, FTX’s bankruptcy managers are actively working to recover as many assets as possible to address the consequences of the collapse and support the recovery process.
