The group is appealing to courts and regulators in the United States, claiming that FTX’s decision undermines principles of fairness and breaks promises made during the reorganization process. According to Will, a Chinese creditor who has retained legal representation in the U.S., “many of whom are taking coordinated steps, such as writing letters to the judge and the U.S. trustee, and exploring legal representation for the group.”

So far, 35 members have filed formal letters to the bankruptcy court expressing objections. The central argument is that FTX had assured them that by filing their claims and supporting the restructuring plan, creditors would be entitled to compensation on an equal basis with others.
“We were told clearly: as long as we presented our demands and voted in favor of the plan, we would be entitled to receive our distributions like everyone else,” Will said.
For him, the new attempt to withhold payments based on jurisdiction represents a violation of trust and procedural integrity. “This situation is not only unfair, but also procedurally questionable,” he declared, warning about the risks of creating a discriminatory precedent in the judicial recovery process.
FTX justifies the proposal as a way to avoid legal risks in countries where the use of cryptocurrencies may face restrictions. However, for affected creditors, the measure amounts to a selective exclusion that is at odds with the already approved plan.
Will concluded by stating that the dispute is not just financial, but also a question of fairness and respect for previously agreed rules: “We are not asking for special treatment; we are asking to be treated equally.”
