The FTX Recovery Trust has announced its third distribution of $1.6 billion to former clients of the bankrupt crypto exchange, marking another critical step in repaying creditors following one of the largest financial frauds in American history. This payment, processed through major platforms including Bitgo, Kraken, and Payoneer, will see creditors receive between 78% and 120% of their claim values from November 2022, when FTX collapsed amid criminal mismanagement by founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

Fenwick & West is battling allegations that it played a central role in enabling FTX’s fraud through structuring deals and legal frameworks. In a Monday filing, the firm argued it provided standard legal services and had no knowledge of any wrongdoing, citing testimony from FTX’s former engineering head about routine founder loan structures. The plaintiffs seek to expand their class action using evidence from bankruptcy proceedings and Sam Bankman-Fried’s criminal trial, while Fenwick points to a similar case against Sullivan & Cromwell that was dismissed for lack of evidence. The court must now decide whether to allow the expanded claims against the law firm.
