Attorneys for the U.S. bankruptcy trustee in Delaware and several major media outlets are challenging an effort by cryptocurrency exchange FTX to withhold names of the company’s customers and creditors from the public.

Lawyers for FTX have argued that its customer list is both a valuable asset and confidential commercial information. They contend that secrecy is needed to protect FTX accounts from potential theft and to ensure that potential competitors do not “poach” FTX customers.

“Debtors have been accused of lack of transparency in their business. That mindset appears to have carried over to this bankruptcy,” wrote attorney David Finger, who is representing Bloomberg L.P., Dow Jones & Co., The New York Times and the Financial Times. The media companies argue that FTX is trying to hide information “that historically has been quintessentially public in nature.

“The court should not treat foreign citizens differently than the United States citizens implicated in this case,” Finger wrote in a court filing last week.Sarkessian, meanwhile, noted that FTX has not explained how it would determine which customers are citizens of the EU or the UK, given that the only contact information for some is an email address.

FTX bankruptcy lawyers say they 'do not trust' Bahamas governmentLawyers for the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX on Wednesday opposed a demand for internal records from an insolvent affiliate based in the Bahamas, saying they 'do not trust' the Bahamian government with data that could be used to siphon off assets from the bankrupt company. But they trust their client to pay them ? Well, I'm sure he's very remorseful, probably depressed, and has access to various cords and ropes. Accidents happen, ask Epstein. He's gonna end up hanging in a cell. Then they are gonna say he hung yourself just like Epstein did. The government doesn't want this man to go on trial. Too many dark horses..
