- While it is not clear why Bitfinex moved the funds to Alameda, the transactions raised questions about the links between the two companies.
- In the meantime, alameda has been trying to recover funds since her parent ftx went bankrupt in November 2022. Last week, the trading company sued Voyager Digital to recover the $446 million it repaid to the bankrupt crypto lender.
- Despite the attempts to gather funds, a recent report revealed that Alameda’s liquidators incurred losses amounting to $11.5 million in the first two weeks of January.
