Google, Apple, Microsoft and Meta borrowed FTX money
The interim FTX executives submitted a 115-page document to the Delaware County Bankruptcy Court. In it, the management of the American cryptocurrency exchange named a list of all creditors from whom the platform borrowed money.
The document does not report on the amounts that were provided to the American cryptocurrency exchange. It indicates only the names of organizations that have decided to provide financial assistance to the bankrupt exchange. It is also noteworthy that if an organization is included in the list, this does not mean that the representatives of the company had their own account on the FTX platform.
The list of lenders that provided financial assistance included various organizations, including air carriers, technology companies and some charities, which were somewhat unexpected to find on this list.
From the same document, it became clear that after FTX experienced financial liquidity issues, the company blocked the money of individual clients, the total number of which was 9,693,985 people.
There are new names of companies that have invested in FTX. It turns out that not only many individual clients lost their funds, but also such large organizations as Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Meta, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, LinkedIn, Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and others.
Speaking specifically about the world of cryptography, many large companies invested their finances in the American cryptocurrency exchange, among which were the well-known Coinbase, CoinDesk, Circle, Chainanalysis, Galaxy Digital, Massari, Bittrex, various divisions of Binance and even Yuga Labs. The latter are known for creating and owning the most hype collections of non-fungible tokens, which include Bored Ape Yacht Club, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Crypto Punks, Bored Ape Kennel Club and others.
The list of interesting FTX lenders does not end there. The document mentions various US state tax departments and the US Internal Revenue Service. In addition, government departments of Japan, Australia, Hong Kong and other countries were mentioned in the list of creditors.
