The Aftermath of the Sam Bankman-Fried Incident: Silvergate Bank Lawsuit Reaches a Critical Stage
The ripple effects of the series of incidents caused by FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried are also reaching related institutions. Recently, a class-action lawsuit against Silvergate Bank, a cryptocurrency-friendly bank in California, has reached a critical turning point. This lawsuit requires users who held accounts linked to FTX and Alameda Research to make a significant decision by the end of this month.
Urgent Deadline of January 30 and User Decisions
Participants in the class-action lawsuit against Silvergate Bank are currently facing a very tight deadline. According to legal documents filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, users who deposited fiat currency into accounts linked to FTX or Alameda at Silvergate Bank between 2019 and 2022 are being forced to choose one of the following options by January 30: withdraw from the lawsuit or provide their opinion on the proposed $10 million settlement.
The compensation offered by this settlement is based on claims that Silvergate Bank, Silvergate Capital Corporation, and Alan J. Lane facilitated rights infringements by Sam Bankman-Fried and related companies. Plaintiffs argue that Silvergate Bank failed to adequately monitor speculative companies like FTX, resulting in many users suffering damages.
Over 46,000 Potential Claimants and Pro Rata Compensation
The scale of this lawsuit is enormous. According to investigations by the bankruptcy trustee, over 46,000 potential claimants have received email notifications regarding FTX’s bankruptcy proceedings, and they may participate in the lawsuit. The proposed $10 million settlement will be distributed proportionally among these claimants, with individual compensation amounts determined based on the claims filed.
Court documents filed in December state that this settlement is “fair and reasonable,” and it aims to provide additional compensation beyond what has already been received due to FTX’s collapse.
Movements Toward the Final Ruling on February 9
The outcome of this lawsuit will be decided in the final hearing scheduled for February 9 by Judge Ruth Bermudez Montenegro. Considering the significant social impact of the Sam Bankman-Fried incident, this ruling could set an important precedent regarding institutional responsibility within the cryptocurrency industry. Whether Silvergate Bank and its related companies fulfilled their responsibilities to protect customer funds will also influence future industry regulations.
