SBF: We never filed for FTX bankruptcy. The real culprits behind FTX's collapse were lawyers who wanted to steal company assets through a bankruptcy filing.

Crypto KOL and Rollbit partner Alex Wice posted on the X platform, stating that Ryan Salame's imprisonment for refusing to testify against SBF reflects flaws in the US justice system. Alex Wice argues that SBF was deprived of his right to present evidence during the trial, with Judge Kaplan rejecting his use of "reliance on legal advice" as a defense and excluding evidence related to solvency and terms of service. Alex Wice points out that the trial narrative was a fabrication devised by prosecutors and Sullivan & Cromwell to place all blame on SBF. In reality, FTX had only a very small funding shortfall at the time of bankruptcy, and while SBF had management negligence, he had no fraudulent intent and consistently tried to keep FTX running to repay customers. He believes that if SBF hadn't signed the bankruptcy agreement, FTX customers might have received repayment much faster. Alex Wice calls for the release of Ryan Salame and SBF. In response to this matter, the SBF X platform account posted: "I basically agree with all the points above. But FTX has never gone bankrupt. I have never filed for bankruptcy. The lawyers took over the company, and four hours later, they filed a false bankruptcy application in order to steal the company's assets."
