FTX has requested the dismissal of investor claims on certain cryptocurrencies related to its former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried. The legal team for FTX argued during a hearing to reduce customer claims for the tokens of Maps.me, Oxygen, Serum, and Boba. They claim that these tokens, known as “Sam Coins,” do not have any real market value.

FTX’s attorney, Brian Glueckstein, presented an analysis indicating the tokens have no market and proposed their value be set to zero. The firm's valuation expert explained that liquidating these tokens would take decades, emphasizing their reduced value.

The argument made by FTX suggests that MAPS and OXY tokens, mainly owned by the firm and its affiliates, are essentially worthless despite being valued at over $600 million. SERUM tokens should reportedly be reduced by around 58% from their $509 million valuation.

Customer Opposition to FTX’s Stance

Investors holding these tokens oppose FTX’s proposal to devalue them. They claim the combined assets continue to be worth over $1.1 billion and ask the court to dismiss FTX’s valuations.

Alameda Research and FTX supported the tokens when they saw significant drops in value ranging from 98% to 99.5%. Sam Bankman-Fried is facing legal consequences, potentially including extensive prison sentences for numerous fraud charges following FTX’s collapse.
