Odaily News According to a court document filed late Thursday, FTX has sued former employees of Salameda, seeking to recover approximately $157.3 million. Salameda is a Hong Kong-registered entity affiliated with FTX and allegedly controlled by SBF. The documents allege that Michael Burgess, Matthew Burgess, their mother Lesley Burgess, Kevin Nguyen, Darren Wong and two companies owned or controlled several companies with accounts registered at FTX.com and FTX US, and that in the days leading up to FTXs bankruptcy fraudulently withdrawn assets. It is said that within the 90 days before FTX filed for bankruptcy on November 11, 2022, the so-called priority period, the defendants obtained withdrawal benefits that constituted a priority transfer, which was avoidable under the bankruptcy law. The defendants scrambled to withdraw assets and used their relationships with FTX personnel to ensure their withdrawal requests were prioritized over other customers. (CoinDesk)
