Alameda Research, the trading subsidiary of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, has filed a lawsuit against Aleksandr Ivanov, the founder of Waves and its affiliated entities, seeking to recover at least $90 million. In a filing on Sunday, Alameda said it seeks to transfer $90 million worth of assets owned by debtors in the Alameda and FTX bankruptcy cases, adding that Alameda had previously deposited those assets on Vires.Finance, a liquidity platform operating on Waves. According to the filing, in March 2022, Alameda deposited about $80 million in USDT and USDC on Vires, which were allegedly converted into about $90 million worth of USDN. Vires users are encouraged to deposit assets into Vires through the Waves blockchain to earn rewards or interest and gain governance rights to the Vires DAO. Alameda stated: "While Ivanov marketed Waves and Vires as opportunities for lenders and other users to make lucrative profits, Ivanov secretly orchestrated a series of transactions that artificially inflated the value of WAVES while siphoning funds from Vires." Alameda noted that the debtor "repeatedly attempted to regain custody of the frozen assets" and that Ivanov "agreed to participate in a call with the debtor in January 2023." However, the document states that Ivanov has since ignored all other efforts of the debtor. In the past few days, the FTX bankruptcy estate administrator has filed more than 20 lawsuits against various entities to recover creditors' funds. (The Block)
