Investors Push for Higher Valuation
FTX customers holding “Sam Coins” (Serum, MAPS, and OXY) are demanding millions from the bankrupt crypto firm. They argue that the tokens are worth far more than the “nearly worthless” valuation proposed by FTX’s experts.
FTX’s Arguments
FTX claims that the tokens have little value due to:
- Sam Bankman-Fried’s involvement in their creation and deals
- FTX holding a significant majority of the tokens
- Fraudulent activities that led to the company’s collapse
Token Holders’ Counterarguments
The token holders argue that FTX’s valuation is flawed and have presented their own method, valuing the tokens at hundreds of millions of dollars. They have filed claims demanding payment based on their calculations.
Legal Showdown
The case between the customers and FTX will reach its final arguments on Tuesday. Bankruptcy officials allege that the “Sam Coins” played a role in FTX’s fraudulent scheme.
