FTX did not explicitly state that the funds were stolen. Instead, they indicated that the funds were transferred without authorization from FTX Global.
Neither the wallet addresses nor the exchanges to which the funds were being transferred were specified by the company.
“Exchanges should take all measures to secure these funds to be returned to the bankruptcy estate,”added the firm.
As soon as FTX filed for bankruptcy in Delaware, it was given the funds to use for ill-gotten gains.
