A user mistakenly deposited 2,000 SOLs one year after FTX went bankrupt and sought approval from the bankruptcy court to repay

Odaily reported that according to a document filed with the Delaware bankruptcy court on Monday, 31-year-old Lukas Bartusek said he accidentally transferred 2,000 SOL to an old FTX account in October 2023, nearly a year after the exchange's bankruptcy. After realizing his mistake, Bartusek said he was told he needed a court order to withdraw the funds from the account. According to the document, the tokens were worth about $63,700 at the time of deposit, but are now worth over $396,000 based on the current price. The document states that FTX "knowingly and voluntarily accepted" the deposit. Generally, a bankrupt company cannot return funds to individual creditors without a judge's permission. The advisors who took over FTX after its bankruptcy have been authorized by the court to return funds to customers, with the first payments expected to begin later this month. Yesterday's news reported that FTX will begin repaying $16 billion to creditors on February 18, 2025, with the first phase repaying $6.5-7 billion. The payments are based on November 2022 prices.
