Bill ‘On Digital Currency’ Caps Crypto Investments for Russians, Opens Door for Payments

On Tuesday, the attorneys representing FTX told the court that a “substantial amount of assets have either been stolen or are missing” and further stressed to the bankruptcy court that FTX executives left the lawyers James Bromley and Sullivan Cromwell with limited information. Bromley further likened the former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF) crypto empire to his “personal fiefdom” and in the end, the attorney said, “the emperor had no clothes.”
The Delaware bankruptcy court heard from FTX lawyers James Bromley and Sullivan Cromwell on Tuesday, and it seems FTX’s financial records do not look good. According to court documents, FTX has a cash balance of around $1.2 billion and this weekend a list of FTX’s 50 top creditors show the entities are owed roughly $3.1 billion.
However, the list of the creditors, at least for right now, remains confidential and names are redacted. According to a report from the New York Times (NYT), roughly 500 individuals logged into the court’s Zoom broadcast on Tuesday. At the hearing, Bromley told the court that a “substantial amount of assets have either been stolen or are missing” from the FTX platform.
The attorney remarked that lawyers understand “many people that are looking to get their money back immediately,” and Bromley insists the team is “working towards being able to do that.” The attorneys had a lot of descriptions for FTX and Alameda Research executives, and Bromley called SBF’s empire his “personal fiefdom” that ended by showing the “emperor had no clothes.”
Restructuring executives and lawyers are looking to “bring order to disorder,” Bromley noted. FTX executives were also called “inexperienced” and “unsophisticated individuals.” Bromley’s statements echoed the commentary written by FTX’s new CEO, John Ray, who said the FTX bankruptcy was worse than Enron’s.
Bromley also told the court that FTX suffered from “cyberattacks” referring to when FTX’s wallets were hacked the day the company filed for bankruptcy protection. Bromley further mentioned that FTX’s headquarters moved around a lot in regions like Berkeley, California, Hong Kong, the Bahamas, and Miami.
However, despite the constant moving, FTX was “effectively under the control of Mr. Bankman,” Bromley detailed. FTX lawyers also detailed that the Bahamas-based joint provisional liquidators have agreed to transfer the case to the district of Delaware. Overall, Bromley said the FTX bankruptcy case represented “one of the most abrupt and difficult collapses in the history of corporate America.”

PRESS RELEASE. Those who own social media accounts and pages with a large following can now cash in by selling their assets to businesses and individuals, making considerable money in the process. The question remains, how do you sell a social asset? How about a Google ad? What about eBay? Apparently, there is an easier way if people know where to look. To bridge this gap and provide a convenient platform for people to buy, sell and trade, a web-based service named SWAPD has launched at the right time.
SWAPD is a business-to-business marketplace where individuals can sell social assets and find potential buyers. Public relations campaigns, influencer deals, and social properties are examples of these assets and they can be used to increase brand awareness and sales. Thus, SWAPD is a community-based platform that facilitates the exchange of social assets between buyers and sellers.
Let’s take a look at some of SWAPD’s main accomplishments. Currently, the platform has over 40K registered members and generates millions in monthly sales. As part of their weekly reports, the team even provides users with information regarding their earnings. This website allows members to earn a substantial income and make money in a safe trading environment. However, why should someone choose SWAPD?
SWAPD is responsible for ensuring your safety on the platform. Buyers and sellers must register and follow a strict policy that prevents scammers and pranksters from operating. No unverified accounts are allowed on the platform, and everyone must have a verified account to trade on the platform. Anonymous users cannot access the SWAPD community. The platform is a dedicated marketplace that offers the finest virtual assets, unique services, and high levels of quality control. The company employs a team of staff to audit each social asset before listing it for sale on its website. Platform members can access only authentic and genuine properties from verified sellers to promote their businesses and assist them in their development. The website does not list any fake, bot-filled, or artificially created social assets.
SWAPD places a high priority on the interests of its members. Members will have control over their assets, including setting their prices. Additionally, they will have a professional customer support team to assist with inquiries. Lastly, SWAPD is a registered business within the European Union and a fully licensed escrow company.
Like every other online marketplace, the SWAPD marketplace has had its share of challenges. Despite its success and rapid growth, the platform has encountered several scammers and fraudsters. Even though there is still a problem, ID verification and other policies have significantly reduced it. Moreover, since many scammers wish to refrain from verifying their accounts as required by the newly implemented policy, the sign-up process prevents them from registering on the site.
SWAPD also has to deal with stringent tax laws and regulations. Hackers are also a concern. Even the most trusted platform members can become disloyal, posing a constant threat to the platform’s operations. It is significant to note, however, that SWAPD has maintained its position as a trusted middleman for its customers. Consequently, SWAPD has become a platform where social assets can be sold and bought, and money earned, making membership in SWAPD and trading on the platform worthwhile.
