Media alliances such as Bloomberg have once again requested the U.S. bankruptcy court to disclose the list of 9 million FTX creditors

ChainCatcher news, The New York Times, Financial Times, and Bloomberg have once again requested that the U.S. bankruptcy court disclose the names of 9 million FTX customers and creditors. So far, the bankruptcy court has kept the complete list of creditors confidential to prevent them from being exposed to hackers, phishing scams, and other fraudsters.

The media coalition claims that it is normal to publicly submit a list of creditors when a company goes bankrupt, and there is no legal basis for cryptocurrency users to participate anonymously in bankruptcy proceedings.

FTX's security experts warn that this could expose FTX customers to scammers. Once their names are known, bad actors could use them to discover other personal information about their targets.

In response, the media coalition argues that FTX and Celsius customers are actually less susceptible to scammers because they are familiar with most of the scams in cryptocurrency. Despite these scam attempts, there is no evidence in the records that the individuals mentioned in the Celsius lawsuit have become victims of fraud. (The Block)
