During FTX\u2019s continuing bankruptcy procedures, this deal came to light.<\/p>\n<p>The intention to pay $200 million in priority claims to the IRS was disclosed by FTX in a recent file with the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. This sum is owed 60 days after a creditor <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/ftx-introduces-consensus-led-reorganization-plan\/\">reorganization plan<\/a> that has been approved by the court. The possibility for significant tax obligations was acknowledged by FTX\u2019s lawyers, but they refuted the IRS\u2019s $24 billion assertion. They contended that the repayment of individual creditors may be significantly impacted by such a large tax payment.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the $200 million priority payment, the IRS is also owed $685 million, categorized as \u201clower priority.\u201d This amount will be paid when the estate has sufficient funds available after satisfying customer payments.<\/p>\n<h2>Steps Toward Creditor Payments<\/h2>\n<p>This IRS settlement is a critical milestone in FTX\u2019s journey toward full creditor payments. The firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2022 after collapsing under the leadership of its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried. Nearly two years later, FTX has managed to accumulate almost $16 billion for distribution to its debtors. This has been achieved through various measures, including liquidating Anthropic shares, holding discounted Solana (SOL) auctions, and executing multiple crypto recovery missions.<\/p>\n<p>FTX is on track to return most clients up to 118% of their holdings, which is an extraordinary result for a bankruptcy case, despite owing creditors almost $12 billion. This possible complete payback represents the significant efforts made by the current management of the company and is an uncommon event.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
