Defunct Crypto Companies Face Financial Challenges in Repaying Creditors
Multiple defunct crypto companies are facing complex financial ties as they try to repay creditors and customers. BlockFi, a crypto lender, has proposed a plan that has been criticized by FTX, Three Arrows Capital, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). FTX, which previously bailed out BlockFi, claims that its claims have been downgraded unfairly in the proposed plan, calling it an abuse of the bankruptcy process. The plan includes repayments and collateral linked to a loan with FTX’s trading arm and collateral pledges made by Emergent Fidelity. The filings are part of the efforts to resolve financial transactions among crypto companies undergoing separate bankruptcy cases.
