According to the Court order, “The Commission is entitled to be indemnified under the law and FDM (FTX Digital Markets) shall ultimately bear the costs the Commission incurs in safeguarding those assets for the benefit of FDM’s customers and creditors.”

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.
