Celsius has been trying to claw back hundreds of millions from FTX, initially claiming $2 billion in damages over alleged “disparaging statements” that FTX officers made against Celsius that accelerated its fall. It later revised the claim to focus on “preferential transfers” that gave special treatment to some creditors and not others, claiming damages of $444 million.

In its heyday, FTX was one of the most prominent cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, bringing in millions of users from dozens of countries. That changed in less than a week in November 2022 after the firm reported liquidity problems and was forced to declare bankruptcy.

Ulbricht was already in prison during Trump’s first term, causing some crypto users to question whether the soon-to-be president will actually commute his sentence. Ulbricht was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole following his 2015 conviction for money laundering, computer hacking and conspiracy to traffic narcotics.

Dorsey disallowed both claims in December, finding that Celsius’ original proofs of claim, which contained only a single sentence about investigating possible preference claims, were insufficient to preserve their preference claims.

Celsius claimed FTX officers made “unsubstantiated and disparaging statements” about the firm’s balance sheet and financial condition in its first claim and then claimed $444 million in transfers to FTX entities should be returned to the bankruptcy estate in its amended claim.
