As the bankrupt FTX exchange prepares to settle obligations to creditors affected by its 2022 collapse, it has cautioned the public about its sole authorized investment manager.
In an X post on March 1, FTX&nbsp;said&nbsp;the sale of digital assets by FTX Debtors mandated by the bankruptcy court is solely managed by Galaxy Asset Management, the authorized investment manager. “Several non-authorized third parties are attempting to solicit bids from buyers on behalf of the FTX Debtors,” the former exchange stated.

In addition, FTX explained that if the FTX Debtors sell locked digital assets, the terms and conditions governing the schedule for unlocking the holdings would still stand.&nbsp;The bankrupt exchange has actively worked on restructuring and repaying its creditors in recent months. The platform has recovered assets totaling $7 billion, which it is using to repay former customers.
FTX obtained approval from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in a Feb. 22 hearing <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ftx-court-approval-sell-billion-dollar-anthropic-ai-stake">to sell its stake of over $1 billion</a> in the artificial intelligence (AI) firm Anthropic.

This came after a<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ftx-moves-offload-8-stake-anthropic">motion filed by FTX</a> to sell its 7.84% Anthropic stake. FTX first invested about $530 million into the AI startup in April 2022, months before it collapsed and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November of that year.
In December 2023, FTX debtors <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ftx-debtors-bitcoin-claims-bankruptcy">proposed claimants receive reimbursement</a> based on the prices of crypto assets at the time of bankruptcy.
FTX creditors, in turn, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ftx-creditors-in-kind-crypto-repayments-low-prices">proposed “in kind” repayments</a> for crypto holdings. However, Judge John Dorsey sided with the debtors, saying in a Jan. 31 ruling that the law was “very clear” on the matter.
A jury found former FTX CEO Sam&nbsp;Bankman-Fried <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ftx-founder-sam-bankman-fried-found-guilty-on-all-charges">guilty of seven charges in his criminal trial</a> on Nov. 3, 2023, including wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, securities fraud, commodities fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. His sentencing is expected on March 28, where he will face a maximum sentence of 110 years in prison.
