FTX 歐盟破產傳奇仍在繼續，遺產委員會對 Backpack 的出售提出爭議

FTX 破產財產對最近宣布將 FTX EU 出售給 Backpack 提出異議，Backpack 是前 FTX 創立的加密貨幣交易和錢包公司

The FTX bankruptcy estate has disputed the recently announced sale of FTX EU to Backpack, a cryptocurrency exchange and wallet firm founded by former FTX and Alameda employees. The FTX estate said Backpack “has no involvement whatsoever in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court-approved process for returning funds to any FTX customers and other creditors,” and that a press release about the sale from Backpack on Monday was issued without the knowledge or involvement of FTX. Backpack had announced plans to pay back FTX EU creditors, as well as setting out how it plans to operate a regulated crypto derivatives service using the licenses acquired in the sale. “Backpack has not been authorized by FTX to make any distributions to any FTX customers or other creditors, including any former FTX EU customers,” the FTX bankruptcy estate said in its statement. Backpack said it bought FTX EU from Gruhn and Matzkeon, a transaction that has also been completed and reflected on official public records since June 2024, and which has been approved by CySec, the Cyprus financial regulator. “As a licensed entity, the transfer of the FTX EU entity was subject to regulatory approval by CySec. In December 2024, CySec approved Backpack’s purchase following a lengthy diligence process. Following such approval, the FTX estate is obligated to transfer the shares as set out in the court-approved sales and purchase agreement. We look forward to the completion of the transfer so that, like the FTX bankruptcy estate, we can begin to return customer funds to former FTX EU customers,” Backpack said in a statement on Thursday. FTX EU will be renamed to Backpack EU and Backpack EU will be solely responsible for redistributing former FTX EU customer funds, Backpack said. Former FTX EU boss Patrick Gruhn said that in May of last year he initiated a change of control proceeding for the FTX EU Ltd. subsidiary with CySEC, which is required to transfer the shares of the regulated Investment Firm. “In this very complex Bankruptcy proceeding I assume FTX wanted to make clear that FTX has no direct relationship with Backpack and will not distribute funds from the U.S. bankruptcy estate. However, FTX EU will be renamed to Backpack EU and will of course distribute the former FTX EU funds to the clients,” Gruhn said via email.

FTX 破產財產對最近宣布將 FTX EU 出售給 Backpack 提出異議，Backpack 是一家由前 FTX 和 Alameda 員工創立的加密貨幣交易和錢包公司。 FTX 遺產管理機構表示，Backpack“沒有參與美國破產法院批准的向任何FTX 客戶和其他債權人返還資金的程序”，並且週一發布的有關Backpack 出售的新聞稿是在FTX 不知情或不參與的情況下發布的。 Backpack 宣布了償還 FTX EU 債權人的計劃，並闡述了計劃如何使用在出售中獲得的許可證來運營受監管的加密貨​​幣衍生品服務。 FTX 破產財產在聲明中表示：“FTX 尚未授權 Backpack 向任何 FTX 客戶或其他債權人（包括任何前 FTX EU 客戶）進行任何分配。” Backpack 表示，它從 Gruhn 和 Matzkeon 手中收購了 FTX EU，該交易自 2024 年 6 月起也已完成並反映在官方公共記錄中，並已獲得塞浦路斯金融監管機構 CySec 的批准。 「作為持牌實體，FTX EU 實體的轉讓須獲得 CySec 的監管批准。 2024 年 12 月，CySec 在經過漫長的調查過程後批准了 Backpack 的收購。獲得批准後，FTX 財產有義務依照法院批准的買賣協議中的規定轉讓股份。我們期待完成轉移，以便像 FTX 破產財產一樣，我們可以開始將客戶資金退還給前 FTX EU 客戶。 Backpack 表示，FTX EU 將更名為 Backpack EU，Backpack EU 將全權負責重新分配前 FTX EU 客戶資金。 FTX EU 前老闆 Patrick Gruhn 表示，去年 5 月，他向 CySEC 啟動了 FTX EU Ltd. 子公司的控制權變更程序，要求轉讓受監管投資公司的股份。 「在這個非常複雜的破產程序中，我認為 FTX 想要明確表示 FTX 與 Backpack 沒有直接關係，並且不會分配來自美國破產財產的資金。然而，FTX EU 將更名為 Backpack EU，當然也會將先前的 FTX EU 資金分配給客戶。
