Alameda Research now, the bankrupt subsidiary of FTX, has a case against Aleksandr Ivanov to recover $90M as a part of an ongoing legal hustle.&nbsp;
Aleksandr is the founder of Waves, the same company that has significant direct and indirect exposure to the crypt exchange founded by Sam Bankman Fried.

The court filings read that the founder of Waves has manipulated the prices of Waves tokens;&nbsp; further quoted that ” Ivanov secretly orchestrated a series of transactions that inflated artificially the value of WAVES, while at the same time siphoning funds from Vires. As the fraudulent scheme began to be uncovered, WAVES lost substantial market capitalization—losing over 95% of its value—and Vires users were saddled with $530 million in losses.”
As of writing, Waves token was trading at $1.15 with a surge of 60 percent in trading volume, which reached $34.77 million, and its market capitalization was $134.24 million. Its registered all-time high is $62.36, acquired in March 2022, the same month it received a million-dollar deposit by FTX.&nbsp;

One of the main causes of FTX’s demise was the abrupt drop in FTT trading prices and spikes in withdrawals. Sam, who was also listed by Fores as one of the youngest billionaires, became the youngest billionaire in the cryptocurrency market during the height of business expansion.
