A Preliminary Summary of What Contributed to FTX’s $8.9 Billion Shortfall

FTX debtors and CEO John J. Ray III have released a comprehensive presentation documenting FTX’s shortfalls. The preliminary report mentions the cyber attack that occurred the day after FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on November 11, 2022. In a now-deleted Telegram chat channel, FTX US general counsel Ryne Miller described the exchange being hacked and that the platform was unsafe. The preliminary shortfall analysis refers to this specific cyber attack throughout.

The report also mentions that both FTX and FTX US typically held digital assets in sweep wallets that were not segregated for individual customers. The debtors noted that due to the cyber attack, the company’s computing environment was secured and “remains subject to certain restrictions,” limiting access to crucial data. The report categorizes FTX’s holdings into two groups: “Category A Assets,” which have larger market caps and trading volumes, and “Category B Assets,” which do not meet the liquidity requirements of Category A Assets.

The public presentation reveals an alarming $8.9 billion shortfall in customer funds, much of which can be traced back to Alameda Research, which had leveraged $9.3 billion in total from customers. FTX has only been able to identify an estimated $2.7 billion of such funds, and some funds are illiquid or considered “Category B Assets.”

Imidlertid, despite identifying all the assets, an $8.9 billion shortfall remains. “There is a substantial shortfall at the FTX.com exchange at the time of the petition, defined as the difference between digital asset claims on the FTX.com ledger and digital assets available to satisfy those claims,” the report states. “The shortfall is particularly significant for Category A Assets. Only a small amount of cash, stablecoin, [bitcoin], [ethereum], and other Category A Assets remain in wallets preliminarily associated with the FTX.com exchange.”

The report also notes that while the shortfall at FTX US was substantial, it was smaller than that of the international exchange. I en pressemeddelelse, CEO Ray shared his thoughts on the presentation and mentioned that funds were commingled and record-keeping was inadequate.

“This is the second in what the FTX Debtors anticipate will be a series of presentations as we continue to uncover the facts of this situation,” Ray said in a statement. “It has taken a huge effort to get this far. The exchanges’ assets were highly commingled, and their books and records are incomplete and, in many cases, totally absent.” He stressed that the information provided by the debtors was preliminary and subject to change.

One interesting aspect of the latest debtors’ presentation is that ftx token (FTT), the company’s exchange coin, is classified as a Category B Asset. While BTC og ETH are Category A Assets, SOL, MATIC, UNI, SHIB, PAXG, WBTC, and WETH are also considered A-class assets. The report also highlights the daily deposits and withdrawals made 90 days prior to the bankruptcy petition date.
