Odaily Planet Daily News A ruling made by the Victorian Supreme Court in January increased the possibility that FTX's Australian creditors would recover all their funds. Judge Patricia Matthews made it clear in her ruling that only those who initiated Australian dollar withdrawal requests (about 747 investors) were eligible for a full refund. According to the Australian Financial Review, the 40 million Australian dollars (about 26 million US dollars) recovered by consulting and investment company Korda Mentha from FTX Australia and FTX Express was enough to repay all 747 investors. It has been reported that FTX prioritized repaying creditors rather than reviving the platform. At the same time, the Supreme Court judge ruled that Australian investors who filed crypto-to-crypto withdrawal requests must wait for the completion of bankruptcy proceedings in the United States. FTX's lawyer Andrew Dietderich said he was optimistic that all creditors would recover all their funds.
