IRS tax bill will swipe creditors of any ‘meaningful recovery,’ says FTX
FTX Trading said the firm “never earned anything anywhere near the amount” that would justify a $24 billion tax bill.
A proposed $24 billion tax bill from the United State IRS will likely suck up any “meaningful recovery” that was meant for victims of FTX, according to the bankrupt crypto exchange.
The United States tax authority has been trying to chase tax arrears from the crypto exchange and its sister firm Alameda Research since May this year. The IRS initially claimed $44 billion across 45 separate claims against FTX and its subsidiaries in May. 10, but recently brought that number down to $24 billion.
However, in a Dec. 10 filing to a Delaware-based bankruptcy court, FTX said the claims put forth by the Internal Revenue Service were “meritless” and would also impact the funds meant to reimburse impacted FTX users.
