The fallout from the event is seemingly continuing, as new court filings show that FTX holds $7 billion in assets, including 38 real estate properties in the Bahamas.

Additionally, the document notes $2.2 billion in cash, crypto, and real estate that was given to former CEO Bankman-Fried and other top executives. These assets were given just months prior to the company’s bankruptcy filing. A detail that could be important with certain laws making those funds potentially accessible.

The company controls 38 condos, penthouses, and other properties in the Bahamas. Indeed, the location was where the company was based. Subsequently, they are currently estimated at a value near $200 million. Conversely, the company is still seeking to reclaim a lot of these funds as it works through bankruptcy proceedings. This filing shows that hope for that reclamation still remains.
