<a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/was-ftx-repayment-plan-announcement-a-contribution-to-the-bull-run/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FTX</a>, led by CEO John J. Ray III, has worked hard to recover billions of dollars for customers and creditors. Ray highlighted the achievement: “The Plan becoming effective in January 2025 and the start of distributions reflect the outstanding success of the recovery efforts.” 
He urged customers to complete the necessary KYC verification, tax forms, and onboarding with distribution partners to ensure timely payouts. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ftx-partnerships-with-bitgo-and-kraken">FTX Partnerships with BitGo and Kraken</h3> 
FTX has onboarded BitGo and Kraken as service providers. 
BitGo, a regulated crypto custodian since 2013, specializes in secure trading and settlement solutions for retail and institutional clients. Kraken, one of the oldest U.S.-based crypto exchanges, offers spot trading and derivatives to users in over 190 countries.

Eligible customers and creditors must be onboarded with one of these platforms via FTX’s official Customer Portal (<a href="https://claims.ftx.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://claims.ftx.com</a>) to ensure compliance with distribution requirements. 
<a href="https://x.com/FTX_Official/status/1868713389570285769" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">FTX Debtors </a>have warned customers to remain vigilant against phishing attempts and fraudulent websites pretending to be the official FTX claims portal. The FTX team emphasized that the company will never request users to connect their wallets. 
The bankruptcy proceedings for FTX began after the company’s highly publicized collapse, revealing an $8 billion shortfall. Founder Sam Bankman-Fried is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence. 
Additionally, key executives including Caroline Ellison, Nishad Singh, and Gary Wang faced various penalties due to their involvement. In a significant development, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John Dorsey approved the reorganization plan in October 2024. 
This plan promises substantial recovery for claimants, with 98% of creditors expected to receive 119% of their allowed claims. This initial distribution marks a pivotal turning point for the victims of one of history’s largest financial frauds. As John Ray III stated, “We are well positioned to execute the distribution of recoveries back to all customers and creditors.”
