is requiring all customers to KYC. This means that your Customer Claim may be DENIED unless the Debtors reach an agreement with the

or the Court rules otherwise.
Debtors claim that the KYC process is required to ensure a legitimate claims trading market.…

Why would a customer claim be denied?
KYC process seems like a fair ask. I don't see why customers wouldn't be ok with providing all that you said because customers have already done KYC at FTX.

It's not that they are requiring KYC for customers, it's that they are requiring it from Original Customers who have already sold their claims to innocent parties.
If Original Customers refuse to KYC, it could cause problems for bona fide buyers who didn't conduct such a KYC…

Why are they requiring it now if it was KYC only in the past? Wouldn't they already have it on file? Things that make you go hmm. 🤔

I thought you were joking about some of these! They're actually on the court docket! WTF. I think they're just trying to get rid of claims now. Desperation.

Isn't this normal for banking and exchanges? I'd hope all crypto exchanges and pseudobanks (ie stablecoins) would abide by KYC. And if they don't already, I hope they are forced to by regulators.

I’m not entirely sure what planet people live on, not exactly like they did great kyc before, being one of the largest frauds ever perpetrated and all. Seems logical they need this to prevent more. What’s the steel man against this?
