'The Dumpster Fire Is Out': Attorney Hails FTX's Unbelievable $7.3B Resurgence

FTX FTT/USD, the insolvent cryptocurrency exchange, has regained over $7.3 billion in cash and digital assets, representing an increase of more than $800 million since January, the company's lawyer indicated during a recent U.S. bankruptcy court hearing.

FTX attorney Andy Dietderich mentioned during a Delaware court session that the company is beginning to consider its future following months of efforts to gather assets and determine the root causes of its issues under the direction of its indicted former founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, Reuters reported.

"The situation has stabilized, and the dumpster fire is out," Dietderich stated.
