FTX Chief Executive and Restructuring Officer John J. Ray, whose team is overseeing a mammoth asset recovery task after the crypto exchange’s collapse, is accelerating efforts to recoup billion of dollars just weeks before FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried heads to trial for what has been called one of the biggest financial frauds in American history.

The week started off in bankruptcy court, where FTX sued Bankman-Fried’s parents on Monday to “recover millions of dollars in fraudulently transferred and misappropriated funds.” The lawsuit claims that Allan Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried exploited their access and influence within FTX to “enrich themselves, directly and indirectly, by millions of dollars,” at the expense of the debtors and creditors.
