Lawyers for the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX have opposed a demand for internal records, saying they “do not trust” the Bahamian government.
Liquidators of FTX’s Bahamian business, FTX Digital Markets, had asked for access to the U.S. unit’s private messaging data.
Lawyers for FTX asked the judge to deny the request.
They argued that regulators had worked with Sam Bankman-Fried to undermine the U.S. bankruptcy case and withdraw assets to the detriment of creditors.
Bankman-Fried was this week in the Bahamas and is being detained while awaiting extradition to the United States.
