2024.10.7 A Delaware bankruptcy judge approved FTX’s reorganization plan almost two years after the crypto exchange spiraled into bankruptcy. The company says it has collected between $14.7 billion and $16.5 billion worth of property that it plans to distribute to creditors. According to the court-approved plan, 98% of FTX’s creditors will get 119% of the amount of their allowed claim.
2024.8.21 FTX Trading Ltd. (d.b.a. FTX.com) and its affiliated debtors (“FTX” or the “Debtors”) today announced that the amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) that was filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District Court of Delaware has received overwhelming preliminary support from all classes of creditors entitled to vote, including the FTX U.S. and FTX Dotcom customer classes. Unofficial voting reports indicate that over 95% of creditors who submitted votes voted in favor of the Plan, which represents 99% of voted claims by value. Over 2/3 of all solicited claims by voting value participated in the Debtors’ solicitation process. With these results, the Plan is expected to exceed the required thresholds for acceptance under the Bankruptcy Code. FTX will file the final voting results with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District Court of Delaware prior to the Confirmation Hearing, which is scheduled to commence on October 7, 2024.
2024.8.8 Crypto exchange FTX to pay $12.7 billion to fraud victims. The agreement was struck between the crypto exchange and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
2024.7.13 According to a July 12 court filing, FTX agreed to a $4 billion settlement with the CFTC. This settlement is a considerable reduction from the CFTC’s initial demand of approximately $52.2 billion in restitution, disgorgement, and civil monetary penalties. This marks another chapter in the firm’s ongoing bankruptcy process and efforts to repay creditors impacted by its sudden 2022 collapse.
2024.6.26 FTX customers will be asked in the coming weeks to vote on the failed crypto exchange’s multi-billion US dollar plan for compensating victims whose assets have been locked on the platform since it collapsed. FTX creditors will have until Aug. 16 to cast their ballots, and FTX intends to seek final approval of its wind-down plan on Oct. 7.
2024.6.15, In the latest chapter of FTX’s bankruptcy process, three separate groups have filed recent claims over the assets seized from Sam Bankman-Fried following his criminal conviction.
2024.3.31，It’s been nearly two years since the dramatic collapse of the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX, which left a $10 billion hole in the wallets of over nine million users. While claimants wait in limbo for reimbursement, a glimmer of hope emerges from the FTX bankruptcy estate as it signals confidence in eventually paying back its customers.

2024.9.28 Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao has been released from prison, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons (BOP). Zhao’s release comes two days ahead of his scheduled release date this Sunday, Sep. 29. The BOP is legally allowed to release prisoners early if their release date falls on a weekend or holiday.
2024.9.16 The founding CEO of Binance is rapidly approaching his prison release date. According to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons website, inmate #88087-510, Changpeng Zhao, is set to be released on Sunday, September 29th.
2024.8.23 Rumors that Binance founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao has been released from prison have taken over across the crypto community. Despite these claims and celebrations, the Binance Founder has not gained his freedom yet. An updated inmate tracker revealed that CZ was only transferred from his prison. He has now reportedly been shifted to RRM Long Beach halfway house in California. A halfway house, or residential reentry management (RRM) field office, is a facility that assists inmates nearing their release date. It is designed to help individuals reintegrate into society by providing a structured, yet less restrictive environment compared to prison.
2024.8.21 In a significant legal development, cryptocurrency exchange Binance and its former CEO Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ, are facing a class action lawsuit over allegations of money laundering related to stolen cryptocurrency. Filed on August 16, 2024, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.
2024.5.31, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao has reported to a low-security federal prison in Lompoc, California, to begin his four-month sentence for money-laundering violations, according to CNBC. Zhao’s defence team at Latham & Watkins law firm confirmed to CNBC that the former Binance CEO is now in custody. The Lompoc low-security prison holds about 1,300 inmates and is made up of four main housing units, two of which are dormitory style. All inmates are required to participate in various work or education assignments. The prison also operates a farm.
2024.5.16, No, Changpeng Zhao isn’t in prison yet — here’s why. Due to some formalities in the criminal justice system, a world-class team of lawyers, and Fifth Amendment protections of due process, former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao isn’t yet in prison despite receiving a four-month sentence.

2024.9.19 The Manhattan penthouse tied to convicted Chinese fraudster Guo Wengui is back on the market for $24 million, a staggering downfall from its initial $86 million asking price. He lived in this unit, with its breathtaking views of Central Park, which he purchased for $67.5 million in 2015, while he waited for political asylum that never came. Instead, by March of 2023, the FBI showed up at dawn to arrest him for orchestrating a billion-dollar fraud scheme. But while FBI agents where still at the penthouse, a mysterious blaze erupted.
2024.7.16 Guo Wengui, the exiled Chinese billionaire, was convicted in a US federal court on Tuesday for defrauding thousands of his followers of more than $1 billion. Guilty of nine out of 12 counts involving racketeering conspiracy and securities fraud, wire fraud and money laundering, Guo, who is also known as Miles Guo, “faces decades in prison” when the judge hands down a sentence on November 19, according to the prosecutor. After the verdict, Guo smiled at his lawyers and dozens of staunch supporters, who stuffed the courtroom throughout the seven-week trial in New York.
2024.7.10 ‘The real Miles Guo’: Prosecutors lead with expletive-laden tape in close of $1 billion fraud case. “Fuck off, fuck off,” Guo yelled at a subordinate on a 2021 phone call, played to the court on Wednesday during the prosecution’s summation. The trial, now in its seventh week, culminated with roughly six hours of summations Wednesday.
2024.7.9 Guo Wengui rests $1 billion fraud case with testimony from ex-DOJ employee. The case could be in the jury’s hands by the end of the week.
2024.7.3 A defense witness testified Wednesday at the trial of Guo Wengui.

2024.6.13 The list of Guo Wengui’s purported fraud victims continues to grow as the trial of the exiled Chinese businessman extends into its third week of testimony. Minran Ru said Guo’s schemes cost her $15,000. “He’s just a liar,”“He’s very good at acting and cheating.”
2024.6.6, Ya Li(李娅) was once a part of the “Iron Blood Group,”Li said she passionately helped Guo raise millions of dollars for his projects. “The whole movement is a scam,” Li said Thursday. “He cheated us.”
2024.6.4, Jenny Li said she first heard about Guo Wengui on a radio station in 2017.“I believed whatever he said,” Li told a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday. Li, a middle-aged woman who testified in Mandarin through a translator, told the court she invested more than $100,000 total in Guo’s businesses thinking she was getting stocks in return. In reality, Li said she got “nothing.”“Miles Guo stole my money,” she testified.
2024.5.28, A former supporter of Guo Wengui said Tuesday he spent over $100,000 investing in the exiled Chinese billionaire’s ventures, but was blacklisted after asking for a refund.
2024.5.25, A self-exiled wealthy Chinese businessman became an internet sensation and conned thousands of people worldwide into sending him $1 billion, enabling him to spend lavishly on a mansion, two yachts and even a $35,000 mattress, a prosecutor told a New York jury Friday at the start of his fraud trial. Guo Wengui, 57, promised his online followers that they’d get rich before he blew their investments on a lavish lifestyle and risky investments, Assistant U.S. Attorney Micah Fergenson said. He said Guo “ran a simple con on a grand scale.” “He lived a billionaire’s lifestyle from money he stole from people he tricked and cheated,” Fergenson said.
2024.5.24, Trial of Steve Bannon-Linked Chinese Mogul Set to Begin With Anonymous Jury. When Torres ruled last month that the jury would be partially anonymous, she noted that she had already concluded that Guo had demonstrated a willingness to tamper with judicial proceedings by posting videos and releasing social media encouraging followers to “persevere” with protests at homes and offices of a bankruptcy trustee and his lawyer. On Wednesday and Thursday, about 20 Guo supporters assembled in an overflow room to watch the proceedings.
