#FTX赔付

FTX filed for bankruptcy at the end of 2022 due to fund misappropriation and high-risk investments, affecting over a million users and resulting in losses exceeding $10 billion. After a two-year legal process, in August 2024, a U.S. court ordered FTX to pay $12.7 billion in compensation to customers, marking the largest such recovery amount in the history of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). FTX is expected to complete compensation to all creditors between the first and second quarters of 2025. Users are required to complete identity verification (KYC), submit tax forms (such as W-8 BEN), and choose a distribution vendor (such as BitGo or Kraken) to ensure the compensation process proceeds smoothly. Additionally, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison for fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, and was ordered to forfeit $11 billion in assets. This incident underscores the need for a stricter regulatory framework in the cryptocurrency market to prevent similar fraudulent activities from occurring again.
