FTX Customers' Identities Protected in Bankruptcy Proceedings

FTX has been granted permission to permanently remove individual customer names from all court filings, with the names of companies and institutional investors sealed on a “temporary basis.” The judge ruled that FTX is permitted to “permanently redact” the names of individual customers from all filings for their safety. While companies and institutional investors do not face the same risks as individuals, their names could still hold significant value if FTX were to sell the exchange or customer list separately. Several mainstream media outlets have pushed for access to the list of FTX customers, arguing that the press and public have a “presumptive right of access to bankruptcy filings.”

FTX Customers' Identities Protected in Bankruptcy Proceedings

A bankruptcy judge in Delaware ruled that the names of customers who used the collapsed cryptocurrency FTX Exchange can remain secret permanently, as they are considered a "trade secret" and revealing them could lead to personal information theft by scammers. The judge also ruled that the names of creditors or equity holders from the U.K. and European Union can be released. FTX filed for bankruptcy in November, and its founder Sam Bankman-Fried has been accused of misleading investors and stealing billions of dollars in customer funds.

The judge rejected arguments from lawyers for several media outlets and for the US bankruptcy trustee, which serves as a government watchdog in Chapter 11 reorganization cases, challenging FTX's request to keep the names of customers and creditors secret.
