Legal Team Denied on FTX Relaunch

Regarding the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, the legal team of the firm clarified in their statement given in the Delaware District Court that the firm is currently not working on any plan related to the relaunch of FTX. In their statement during the FTX Lawsuit hearing, the legal team stated that during the tenure of former CEO and founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the firm encountered several financial irregularities, which is a major cause for concern. The current situation is such that due to SBF's failures, any investor is not showing interest in associating with the cryptocurrency exchange FTX and investing their capital. Consequently, the launching of FTX 2.0 is currently not feasible.
