John Ray III, the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of FTX, also overseeing the proceedings for the company’s bankruptcy, has demanded that all companies, charities, and politicians who have received any money from FTX refund it.
Creditors and FTX threaten lawsuit
FTX and its creditors have written “private letters” to several public individuals and advocacy organizations in which they have threatened legal action.
According to a press release issued by FTX, any politician or group that does not make a voluntary refund faces the possibility of a lawsuit being filed in bankruptcy court to recover the money, along with the interest that has accrued since the beginning of any action, and the case could go to trial.
In December, the company allegedly made public its intention to pursue the recovery of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of political donations made to celebrities, charitable organizations, and politicians affiliated with the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. These political donations were allegedly made in the name of the company.
