[Spoken audio]: FTX is still cutting checks. The estate just announced its fifth wave of payouts, roughly $900 million heading to creditors, which pushes total repayments to nearly $10 billion since the process kicked off in 2025. Think about that number for a second. This was supposed to be the crater of the crypto era. The exchange collapsed, Sam Bankman Freed went to prison, and the assumption was that everyday customers would be lucky to see pennies. Instead, the bankruptcy estate has been methodically working through wave after wave, and $10 billion has actually gone back out the door. That almost never happens in a blow-up this size. Now, the grumbling hasn't gone away, and it's fair. A lot of creditors are being paid based on what their crypto was worth when FTX imploded, not what it's worth now. So getting your dollars back while the market moved on without you stings. You got made whole on paper and left behind in reality. Still, compare it to every other exchange collapse in history where customers got a shrug and a lawsuit that outlived them. The question I care about is momentum. Five waves in, the estate clearly has assets and a rhythm. Does the machine keep running? So here's the market. FTX announces a sixth distribution wave to creditors within the next six months, hit or miss. This is Sarah White reporting for hit.com." ### Post #12 by @77bncvbsdcg > **Author:** Faustino ([@77bncvbsdcg](https://x.com/77bncvbsdcg)) > **Metrics:** 14 likes · 2 retweets · 12 comments · 204 views > **Posted:** 2026-07-17T05:28:02+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/77bncvbsdcg/status/2077988679000502566](https://x.com/77bncvbsdcg/status/2077988679000502566) > **Visual Note:** A meme image showing a crying person behind prison bars being confronted by a man in a suit, with Vietnamese text reading 'THƯỢNG VIỆN MỸ ĐỒNG LOẠT PHẢN ĐỐI VIỆC ÂN XÁ CHO SAM BANKMAN-FRIED'. > > "The U.S. Senate has just unanimously passed a resolution affirming that FTX mogul Sam Bankman-Fried is not to receive any clemency, sentence reduction, pardon, and has no intention of easing this 25-year prison sentence.
