Odaily Planet Daily News A court document submitted to the bankruptcy court by FTX’s current management disclosed a detailed list of celebrities, companies and sports teams it has promoted over the years.
Among them, FTX paid nearly $750,000 to former NBA star O'Neal, approximately $308,000 to tennis star Naomi Osaka, nearly $206,000 to Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and nearly $206,000 to former Boston Red Sox. Team player David Ortiz was paid approximately $271,000.
The company acknowledged that the list itself "may not reflect an exhaustive list of all deposits and repayments" but was working to identify all outstanding payments from previous years to determine how much of them could be recovered to repay the debt. (Decrypt)
