😂 Sam Bankman-Fried claimed that the crypto exchange FTX was allegedly never insolvent — according to him, client assets totaling $8 billion, which were recorded at the time of the bankruptcy filing, never actually left the platform. All clients will receive compensation ranging from 119% to 143%, with about 98% of creditors already having received 120%. Even after covering all claims and legal expenses, the company still has $8 billion left.

Analyst ZachXBT criticized these statements — he noted that payments to creditors were made based on cryptocurrency prices at the time of FTX's bankruptcy in November 2022, not current prices, which led to significant losses for holders of assets like SOL and BTC. According to him, the increase in the value of illiquid investments today is just a coincidence.

ZachXBT added that Sam seems to have learned nothing during his time in prison and continues to spread the same misinformation.
