  1. tldr; An FTX customer, Nikolas Gierczyk, is suing hedge fund Olympus Peak, claiming the firm owes him additional recovery after selling his claims in the collapsed trading platform. Gierczyk sold his $1.59 million claim against FTX at a 42% discount, receiving $930,000. With FTX’s reorganization plan approved, customers are expected to receive 129% to 146% of their claims, potentially allowing Olympus Peak to profit over $1 million. Gierczyk alleges the hedge fund failed to honor an agreement for further recovery rights.

    So you lost about 80% in the bankrupcty itself and then proceed to sell your claim for another 42% forfeiture just to avoid 30mins – 1hr of filing in a claim. And now also have to engage in a legal battle costing more money, just wow. At that point don’t even bother.
