According to @AltcoinDaily, Sam Bankman-Fried previously said he had about $100,000 left and one credit card, adding "I lost 20 billion" after FTX’s collapse (source: Altcoin Daily on X, Oct 21, 2025; Axios interview, Nov 29, 2022). For traders, the material flows sit with the FTX estate: a U.S. bankruptcy court authorized the Debtors to sell crypto holdings, and authorization/news of sales coincided with pressure on SOL and related tokens (source: U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Case No. 22-11068, Sept 13, 2023 order; Reuters, Sept 13, 2023). The Debtors said they expect to repay 100% or more of allowed customer claims in cash, independent of SBF’s personal finances and without any reliance on FTT (source: FTX Debtors press release, May 7, 2024). Traders should monitor estate liquidation updates and distribution timelines for potential volatility around execution windows in SOL, BTC and ETH (source: Reuters, Sept 13, 2023; FTX Debtors court filings, 2023–2024).

According to FTX's court filing, the bankrupt crypto exchange argues that Three Arrows Capital (3AC) is owed nothing for its $1.53 billion recovery claim, stating that 3AC's own high-risk trading strategies caused its collapse during the 2022 crypto market downturn. FTX lawyers noted that 3AC's account value was only $284 million on June 12, 2022, and that FTX's liquidation actions benefited 3AC, with potential implications for FTX creditor distributions and broader market volatility as the hearing approaches on August 12.
