- Bahamas regulators appeal to bankruptcy judge to try to claim ownership over FTX-owned properties in New Providence, Bahamas.Now, Bahamas regulators are trying to claw back the property from FTX's U.S. bankruptcy protection proceedings, telling a Delaware federal bankruptcy judge that allowing the properties to be administered in U.S. courts would be both administratively ineffective and illegal under Bahamas law.Tens of millions were spent just at the small island development that Bankman-Fried called home, with FTX's holding company buying at least 15 properties and one vacant lot for a combined total of over $143 million.FTX broke ground on a new headquarters in April 2022, but it's been on hold since the exchange filed for bankruptcy in November.The move is likely to spark pushback from FTX US attorneys and CEO John Ray, who has committed to maximizing recovery for FTX clients both in the U.S. and abroad through restructuring and asset sales."
