FTX attorney says $7.3B in assets recovered: 'Dumpster fire is out', 12 Apr IPR rehab
As it looks to the future, FTX is negotiating with stakeholders about options for restarting its crypto exchange, and it may make a decision on that in the current quarter, [FTX attorney Andy] Dietderich said. He offered few details on what a reboot might mean for FTX customers whose crypto deposits have been locked up during the bankruptcy case.

So far, FTX customers in Japan have been the only ones able to withdraw any funds so far, because of that country's relatively strong crypto regulations, Dietderich said. FTX would need significant capital to restart its crypto exchange, because the existing customer interface had little connection to the movement of money behind the scenes, the lawyer said.

"The app worked beautifully, but in truth it was a facade," Dietderich said.
