Re: Protect FTX Creditors
Dear: Ms. Olsen-Clancy:
As one of the 1.4 million FTX Creditors, I am very concerned about the ongoing bankruptcy proceedings and feel like I have been left in the dark throughout this process. Like many of my fellow creditors, it is important to me that this process is resolved fairly and promptly.
I am highly dissatisfied with how this bankruptcy case has unfolded, especially around the lack of transparency and dearth of communications between the Unsecured Creditors Committee and the FTX creditors at large. Alarmingly, recent disclosures highlight excessive spending, such as lawyer fees exceeding $1 million/day, billing for 16-hour days, and $500,000 for a communications specialist without any apparent outreach to creditors. When taken as a whole, it suggests that retail investors are being treated as an afterthought in this process.
I respectfully ask that you continue to push for the appointment of an independent examiner to oversee the process and ensure a fair outcome is achieved.
In particular, we are asking that the independent examiner look into potential conflicts of interest and secure greater transparency from the members of the Unsecured Creditors Committee, shining a spotlight on excessive fees, promoting communication between all parties, and examining several avenues that would allow creditors to recover all funds owed to them, including, but not limited to, clawbacks and the resumption of operations at FTX with creditors receiving equity in the estate.
Thank you for your kind attention to my views on this issue and your ongoing commitment to protecting consumers – we understand that you are an ally in this fight.
