On January 31, an attorney representing FTX said
the plan to restart the exchange fell apart following

According to FTX attorney Andy Dietderich,
none of the potential bidders were willing to
put up enough money to rebuild the exchange.
Dietderich blamed the collapse of negotiations on
FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who he claimed
never built the company to be run as a viable business.
Bankman-Fried faces decades of prison
time after being convicted of fraud
relating to his operation of FTX.
FTX was an irresponsible sham
created by a convicted felon, Andy Dietderich, FTX attorney, via 'The Guardian'.
The costs and risks of creating a viable
exchange from what Mr. Bankman-Fried
left in a dumpster were simply too high, Andy Dietderich, FTX attorney, via 'The Guardian'.
Dietderich added that the company will now focus on
liquidating assets in order to repay customers whose
deposits were locked when FTX filed for bankruptcy in 2022.
The attorney said FTX has already recovered about
$77 billion in assets meant to repay customers.
The company will reportedly pay all customers in full
but at the cryptocurrency prices from November
2022 when the assets were locked down in bankruptcy.
