FTX Lawyers Dispute 3AC's $1.5B Claim

Source: theblock.co6/22/2025

FTX attorneys contend that the $1.5 billion claim by Three Arrows Capital (3AC) lacks logical foundation and should be rejected. A Delaware judge previously allowed 3AC to elevate its claim from $120 million. However, FTX argues this is based on flawed premises and inaccurate data, asserting 3AC's poor trading choices and contractual breaches led to its downturn. FTX recounts that after 3AC's account fell below required levels, they withdrew funds instead of depositing, leading to FTX's justified liquidation of assets worth $82 million. Legal opinions support FTX, arguing 3AC’s theories lack ground. The ensuing hearing for the case is set for August.
