Representatives for Voyager's Unsecured Creditors have requested that former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) and a number of top-level executives from FTX and Alameda Research, provide documents and appear in court remotely next week for a deposition.

A court filing on Feb. 18 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, stated that Bankman-Fried has been served a “Subpoena to Testify at a Deposition in a Bankruptcy Case.”

This was handled by Voyager Digital Holdings' Official Committee for Unsecured Creditors, a crypto loan swap in bankruptcy, who claimed he was scheduled to appear for the "remote statement" on 23 February.

She also said Bankman-Fried produces all the requested "documents and communications" by 20 February at the latest.

This comes after it was revealed in a Feb. 6 court filing that Voyager’s lawyers had served a subpoena to Bankman-Fried as well as Alameda CEO, Caroline Ellison, FTX co-founder, Gary Wang and FTX’s head of product, Ramnic Arora.

All individuals were required to provide the requested information by Feb. 17.

Judge John Dorsey had previously authorised FTX debtors under bankruptcy court rules to issue subpoenas for information and documents from former FTX colleagues and family members of Bankman-Fried.

It was revealed on Feb.16 that Bankman-Fried could potentially have his bail revoked after Judge Lewis Kaplan stated that there was “probable cause” to believe that he engaged in attempted witness tampering.

Earlier court filings filed on February. 3 also revealed that Bankman-Fried’s holding company, Emergent Fidelity Technologies, filed for bankruptcy protection.
