Crypto Courtroom Showdown: FTX Chases Elusive NFT Tokens (You Won’t Believe Who’s Next!)

BBG News

Somewhere, beneath the feeble glow of winter’s fluorescence, the FTX Estate marches to a court it never wished to find. NFT Stars Limited and Kurosemi Inc.—characters worthy of a Dostoevskian subplot—stand accused, their silence echoing pain more profound than an accountant’s sigh. 🕵️‍♂️💰

Bureaucratic Ballet: FTX’s Glorious Invitation to Nowhere

The custodians of what remains of FTX—now little more than a mausoleum for digital dreams—let slip a communiqué on April 28. They would drag NFT Stars and Kurosemi to the altar of justice, demanding tokens “owed by the very law of men (or at the very least, by a terribly written contract).”

In their parchment of proclamation, the FTX Estate mused that civility had been tried, tea had been poured, and olive branches extended—before they discovered that tokens are, regrettably, not returned for the price of a polite email. And yet, with a bureaucrat’s optimism, FTX whispers to the wind: “We’re still open to talk.” Even Kafka would roll his eyes. 😏📑

“We implore you, kind sirs and madams, send back the tokens, lest we are consigned to endless paperwork and billable hours. Our band of weary attorneys toils night and day—not out of love, but contractual obligation—to claw back Satoshi’s legacy from the void. This week: Kurosemi and NFT Stars, who bravely ignore every letter we write,” croaks the FTX Estate, from deep within the underfunded labyrinth.

Elsewhere, the search continues. FTX stalks a menagerie of crypto minstrels still hiding in the digital forest. More lawsuits are promised, as dependable as Moscow snows. The defendants multiply, like tokens on a blockchain during a bull run—each more surprised than the last to find themselves summoned by men with briefcases.

NFT Stars and Kurosemi join the already distinguished gallery of the pursued, their crimes: indifference and inertia. The FTX Estate, unfazed by exhaustion, gallops on, already nipping at the heels of bigger game—former executives, other exchanges, even humble celebrities whose NFT-related regrets now outshine their old sitcom reruns. 🎬🫣

And then, there is Changpeng Zhao, the enigmatic fox accused of setting the stage for FTX’s winter. Sued, naturally, for “events” and “orchestration,” which is just another way of saying, “we are running out of people to blame.” Not even the small investors flee unscathed; those bold souls whose withdrawals outpaced disaster are eyed with the suspicion reserved for those who escape from Siberian railcars under dubious circumstances.
