FTX depositors are getting paid back in US Dollars not the crypto that dollar amount is based on the price of their
00:00:05
tokens at the bankruptcy date the bankruptcy date was November 11th in 2022 super important because the report
00:00:12
that started the run on FTX was published in November 2nd was a couple of days in between those two dates and a
00:00:17
bunch of crypto plummeted salana drop 50% between November 5th and November 11th that's just one example but since
00:00:24
then salana has been up 11x bitcoin's up 4X ethereum doubled so if you one of these depositors you missed that runup
00:00:30
the trustee has been selling the tokens post runup the point is that he's selling tokens at current prices call it
00:00:39
188 and then using that to pay off depositors at $16 so the only reason the depositors have been quote unquote made
00:00:47
whole is because they're getting the benefit of this runup but they're not paying them back at the price of their
00:00:51
Salon today they're paying them at this price that got fixed at the time of the bankruptcy
