A group of FTX customers from outside the United States have asked a U.S. bankruptcy judge to keep their names secret during the cryptocurrency exchange's bankruptcy case, saying that revealing their identities could expose them to identity theft and other scams.
Bankrupt companies typically reveal the names and amounts of debt held by their creditors, including individual customers.
They also warned that disclosure could undermine FTX's efforts to sell parts of its business, which it wants to do to make more money available for creditors. FTX, once led by Sam Bankman-Fried, is also seeking an exception that would keep its customers' names secret. Two years ago, Dorsey let the customer list of crypto lender Cred remain secret, to preserve Cred's ability to "market and sell that list" as part of a possible sale of the company.
