Later in January, FTX and Alameda moved another $16.3 million to various exchanges.

The fund movements happened amid the fallen exchange’s restructuring efforts and unveiling its plans to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ftx-repay-creditors-not-restart-exchange">fully repay its customers</a>. On Jan. 31, the defunct exchange said in a U.S. court hearing that its restructuring plans would not include a re-launch of the exchange but would be focused on repaying its customers in full. However, FTX attorney Andy Dietderich said that repaying customers was an objective, but not guaranteed. 
Following the hearing, criticism was hurled toward the restructuring plan, pointing out the legal team’s profits over the ordeal. On Feb. 4, former United States Securities and Exchange Commission official John Reed Stark <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ftx-scrapped-relaunch-raises-alarm-on-legal-team-profits">described the plan</a> as a “highway robbery of highway robbers.”
