FTX User Accidentally Deposited 2,000 Tokens Year After Collapse

FTX customers who deposited digital assets before the cryptocurrency exchange imploded in 2022 have waited years to get their money back. That includes one user in Prague who made a costly blunder: he accidentally deposited tens of thousands of dollars worth of Solana tokens on FTX a year after it went bankrupt.

Lukas Bartusek, 31, said he inadvertently transferred 2,000 tokens to an old FTX account in October 2023, nearly a year after Sam Bankman-Fried’s exchange went bankrupt, according to a Monday filing in Delaware bankruptcy court. After realizing his mistake, Bartusek said he was informed he’d need a court order to allow a withdrawal from the account.
