The Supreme Court of Bahamas ordered FTX to pay reimbursement fees to the Securities Commission of the Bahamas for holding the firm’s digital assets since November 11. It emphasized that all payments will be made only after the Supreme Court grants its approval.
The announcement has increased FTX’s woes as the exchange already owes over $3B in liabilities to its top 50 creditors.
