A former
#FTX user, Lukas Bartusek from Prague, is fighting to reclaim nearly $400,000 after mistakenly transferring 2,000 Solana (SOL) tokens into his defunct FTX accountāmore than a year after the exchange collapsed. According to a recent filing in Delawareās bankruptcy court, Bartusek now requires a judgeās order to access his funds, as FTX refuses to process the withdrawal without legal authorization.
At the time of the accidental deposit, SOL was trading at around $31, making his transfer worth approximately $63,700. However, due to Solanaās meteoric rise to $198, the locked funds have surged in value to $396,000. The court documents reveal that FTX knowingly accepted the deposit despite being deep in bankruptcy proceedings. When Bartusek attempted to withdraw the funds on October 22, 2023, he discovered that they were inaccessible. FTXās legal team informed him that bankruptcy laws prohibit the release of assets outside of an approved court process, even in cases of accidental deposits.
Bartusekās situation is not unique. His attorney, Jack Shrum, highlighted that crypto traders often manage multiple wallets, making such mistakes more common than one might expect. Since FTXās collapse in November 2022, thousands of users have been unable to access their funds, waiting for potential reimbursements. Fortunately, there is some progressāFTXās bankruptcy team began processing repayments on February 8 under the Chapter 11 Reorganization Plan. Eligible creditors in approved Convenience Classes can expect initial distributions starting February 18, facilitated through BitGo and Kraken. While this offers hope to some, users like Bartusek remain entangled in legal complexities as they attempt to recover their lost assets.
