Bahamas Government Orders FTX Hack Sam Bankman-Fried was previously the main figurehead of the FTX collapse and was ordered by authorities to transfer hundreds of million dollars of crypto from FTX into a wallet owned by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas. In a Thursday press release, the Commission confirmed that it had ordered the transfer. The Commission stated that it ordered the transfer on Thursday in a press release. After a ban on customer withdrawals, it was discovered that the exchange had a $9.4 million hole in its balance sheet. This was after the exchange had loaned customer funds to Alameda Research (a trading firm founded by Bankman-Fried). FTX filed a November 12 statement claiming that the Bahamian government had “unauthorized access” and directed Bankman-Fried, the transfer of the funds. FTX was the victim of a “hack” that occurred on November 12. More than $600 million in digital assets were transferred to external wallets FTX. Ryne Miller, the US General Counsel, confirmed that some assets had been placed in cold storage to “minimize damage” after the incident. After the assets had been transferred, they were exchanged for ETH. Blockchain security firm Beosin estimates the Bahamian authority has more than $330 million. This makes it the 35th largest Ethereum whale. The majority of the funds are currently stored in this Ethereum wallet. The court will decide whether the Commission responded appropriately, but the announcement has caused controversy within the crypto community. FTX filed that “the automatic stop has been flaunted” with the addition that “a government actor no lesser” was the filing. According to U.S. bankruptcy law the automatic stop provided by Chapter 11 is “a period in which all judgments and collection activities are suspended and repossessions of property are not allowed.” It seems that the Commission and FTX did not understand this rule.
