As set forth more fully below, Mr. Bankman-Fried contends in his sentencing submission that, based on a mischaracterization of statements made in the Chapter 11 proceedings by representatives of the FTX debtors, the “harm to customers, lenders, and investors is zero,” because “[t]he money was there—not lost,” and that FTX was solvent at the time that the Chapter 11 petition was filed. As the lead professional of a very large team who has spent over a year stewarding the estate from a metaphorical dumpster fire to a debtor-in- possession approaching a confirmed plan of reorganization that will return substantial value to creditors, I can assure the Court that each of these statements is categorically, callously, and demonstrably false.

That 5th bullet point on page 5 is also remarkable

Amazing. Thank you for guiding me there.

The statements about payments of claims of customers and creditors in full is always caveated by the word “allowed” (see id. at 24). The expectation is that allowed claims will be paid in full if all of the hard work described above pays off (Id. at 24). The question remains, though, how one takes a filed claim and turns it into an allowed claim. One must first start at the total dollar amount of claims filed. That number is $23.6 quintillion dollars. (Id.). One quintillion is one billion billions. It is the number 1 followed by 18 zeros. The task of addressing filed claims and reducing them to their proper and “allowed” amount is monumental. Mr. Bankman-Fried assumes this is a breeze. He is wrong—very wrong.
