Stanford University intends to return all funds donated by the crypto trading company and related entities like Bankman-Fried’s hedge fund Alameda Research. 
A spokesperson for the prestigious California-based university told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-19/stanford-says-will-return-entirety-of-gifts-received-from-ftx?utm_source=telegram&amp;utm_content=crypto&amp;utm_medium=social#xj4y7vzkg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bloomberg</a> lawyers wanted to return millions received from Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX to the defunct crypto exchange debtors. 
A lawsuit alleged that FTX accounts transferred around $5.5 million to Stanford.&nbsp; 
At least one other entity has pledged to return funds received from FTX. In June 2023, the Metropolitan Museum of Art <a href="https://crypto.news/met-museum-to-refund-550k-in-donations-from-ftx/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">shared</a> plans to surrender $500,000.

FTX administrators sued Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried to recover millions in diverted funds, crypto.news <a href="https://crypto.news/ftx-sues-sbfs-parents-over-misappropriating-millions-of-dollars/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> on Sep. 19. Notably, both parents were Standford law professors for over three decades.&nbsp; 
According to court filings, FTX, under SBF, shelled out millions to finance luxurious personal expenses for Joseph and Barbara, including a $16.4 million Bahamas property. Also, the pair allegedly received at least $10 million in cash gifts.

FTX’s estate argued that Bankman-Fried’s parents knowingly benefitted from their son’s fraud and should be held culpable. 
The November 2022 collapse of SBF’s crypto exchange reverberated throughout the digital asset industry, tumbling market prices and morphing into a lengthy criminal trial.
