The payments were reportedly allocated as follows: $2.2 billion to Sam Bankman-Fried, $587 million to former FTX director of engineering Nishad Singh, $246 million to FTX co-founder Zixiao “Gary” Wang, $87 million to former co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets Ryan Salame, $25 million to former co-CEO of Alameda John Samuel Trabucco, and $6 million to former CEO of Alameda Caroline Ellison.

The statement also indicated that over $240 million was used for various purposes, such as luxury properties in the Bahamas, donations to political and charitable causes, and “substantial transfers” to non-FTX subsidiaries. FTX is currently investigating its rights to pursue potential legal action against the recipients and their transferees, and ongoing efforts are expected to result in the identification of additional assets, liabilities, and transfers.

FTX management is exploring ways to recover the funds from the former executives but warns that the “amount and timing of eventual monetary recoveries cannot be predicted at this time.” The revelation of the substantial payments and loans to former executives has raised further questions about FTX’s collapse and has heightened the scrutiny on the cryptocurrency exchange.
