This topic^[1] contains lengthy discussions regarding FTX, and it would be better to have them all in one place to make it easy to follow.
Anyone who loses money on any exchange will inevitably try to claim his money, especially if it is in the form of cryptocurrencies that have increased in value over the past 4 years, such as Bitcoin, but due to the slowness of judicial procedures, it is rare for people to obtain compensation within two to five years, so I do not expect anyone to receive money soon.


[1] [Updated] FTX

Thank you, I tried to find it unsuccessfully

Survive, you said? Isn't it obvious that this is a death sentence? This could just be because many countries are against death sentences, so pronouncing and sentencing someone for life won't make any sense in the ears of many, so they gave a 115-year sentence, which he will probably not be alive to finish. Adding to the fact that he should be around 30-35 years old before this, imagine how many years he will be by that time. It's obvious he is going there to spend the remaining time of his life.

FTX came out of nowhere under the guise that their CEO was such a brilliant trader that he made billions trading Bitcoin and started the world’s biggest exchange seemingly overnight. It didn’t pass the sniff test from day 1 and that’s why I never had an account. Pretty much any entity willing to pay you an interest rate on Bitcoin to store your funds is a scam. Nobody can promise interest on Bitcoin because it is a limited resource. As the saying goes, if you don’t know where the yield comes from, you are the yield.

If you wanted to really lie and deceive people in the first place, you'd already got the plan to steal the money of many people and of course it would be a part of your plan to lie to them and make them think that you're a legitimate one and that you're not going to run with their money, that's how many charlatans and thieves of the largest scale would do it though, they make you let your guard down by building trust and then in one fell swoop, your money's gone. People should've made some questions already when the talks of bitcoin giving out interests are being talked about, that would've made them uncomfortable and most likely some of those people would likely pick up on it when it was raised as a question but it seems that nobody did and they end up with their money being stolen, I guess the allure of profits from your bitcoin is just too strong that people didn't question the red flags.

FTX is a terrible case that causes losses of many people money and if victims receive their compensation, they will receive cryptocurrencies with price in November 2022.

It is a bottom of bear market and what you receive with that past rates will like a massive loss compares to current prices in a bull market. It is better if you have compensation but even so, it will still be a loss for you. You will not receive full amount of your capital stored on FTX exchange before the collapse.

Don't store your coins on centralized exchanges to avoid similar collapses like FTX. Many exchanges are dead.
Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts
Exchange graveyard

Yes, and I lost a lot.
I will admit that I lost a lot. That was the first time to lose in a centralized exchange. Before I was using Cryptopia but before they went bankrupt I already moved out my funds, so I am very lucky.
I am still hoping for the refunds on FTX, I hope it will be refunded to all of us who are affected, it's huge.

There is no option for "I neither lost fund on FTX, nor withdrew before the crash" in the poll..
For if there was an option like that in the poll, then that is the category I fall in, I will count myself lucky for I actually have an FTX account, but I've never for once been moved to deposit funds there and buy, I've used several other exchanges, even far lesser ones, but for some reason, never used FTX, maybe if I did, I would have been one of those who would lose money there, the same way I lost on Bkex.

Concerning the final verdict, I would say that let them throw him in jail and let me rot there, the lawyers pleading for a lighter judgment for SBF, did SBF consider the consequences of what he did to investors funds before he did it, people lost their entire live saving on that exchanges, so many people commited suicide because of what SBF did, such a person as SBF deserves to die by hanging, because he is not just a criminal, but a murderer.

By the way, I feel this thread should be in the reputation board.

I've also heard this news, the compensation is really unfair for the victims but think positively, it's better for them to compensate a little than for everyone to lose everything. At least FTX did many times better than Mt.Gox, who only made promises and more than 10 years have passed but their victims are still waiting.

I cannot deny that I am also using centralized exchanges but luckily I have never used FTX. But even if I used it, I wouldn't store too many of my assets on it. Centralized exchanges are not places to store crypto assets, they are just places to trade, and buy & sell when we need them.
