Summary
FTX estimates it owes creditors $11.2 billion but has between $14.5 billion and $16.3 billion to distribute, allowing almost all customers to get their money back and more. The reorganization plan, still pending court approval, aims to provide relief to customers whose funds have been locked up since FTX filed for bankruptcy. Former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted of criminal charges, but the company managed to raise funds through asset sales. Bitcoin's price appreciation since the bankruptcy filing has also helped in the recovery process.
