FTX Bankruptcy: The Ultimate Test of Patience and Paperwork 🕰️📄

by

FTX, the crypto exchange that went from “to the moon” to “to the courthouse,” is now in the final stretch of verifying claims before the April 11, 2025 deadline. It’s like the last episode of a reality show where everyone’s waiting to see who gets the prize—except the prize is your own money, and the show is a legal nightmare. 🎭

If your claim is still under review, don’t worry, it’s just labeled as “Disputed Claims” for now. Think of it as being in the friend zone—you’re not out of the game yet, but you’re definitely not getting any action anytime soon. Once it’s reviewed and accepted, you might still get paid. Might. 🤷‍♂️

The FTX Recovery Trust is working overtime to reconcile these claims, but if you’re in Australia or Singapore, you might as well grab a snack. Jurisdictional issues are slowing things down, and partial payments are being reviewed to make sure you get every last penny. Or, you know, crypto equivalent. 🍿

For those lucky enough to be eligible for repayment, the FTX Customer Portal is your new best friend. Step 9 is the golden ticket, but only if you’re in Class 7A or 7B with claims under $50,000. If you’re in the big leagues with larger claims, you’ll have to wait. It’s like being at a concert and realizing your seat is in the nosebleed section. 🎟️

To get in on the first round of repayments in January 2025, you’ll need to jump through some hoops: submit tax forms, complete onboarding with a distribution service provider, and pass sanctions checks. Miss the January 20, 2025 deadline, and you’ll be stuck waiting for the next round. It’s like missing the last train home—except the train is your money, and home is your bank account. 🚂

If creditors don’t meet the standards within six months of the initial payment, they might miss out entirely. Some customers will need to do additional checks, because apparently, bankruptcy isn’t complicated enough already. 🤯

FTX EU customers are in a different boat altogether. After FTX EU was sold to a third-party buyer, their claims are no longer part of the Chapter 11 proceedings. Instead, they have to go through the FTX EU Process, which is as independent as a cat. For crypto claims, they’re still eligible for payments under the U.S. bankruptcy process. It’s like being in a love triangle, but with legal documents. 💔

The next big distribution date is May 30, 2025, with a cutoff date of April 11, 2025. Miss that, and your payment will be held up. So, make sure your claims are substantiated and all steps are completed before the ultimate deadline. It’s like finals week, but instead of a diploma, you get your money back. 🎓
