This is a very interesting hearing, and is available on the bankruptcy court's docket. I am streaming it to make the audio more accessible to the hearing impaired and people domestically and internationally who cannot readily access this publicly available information.

Sorry for the volume issues. The volume is low on the court audio. (It's ok on desktop with headphones.)

The hearing opens with the defense counsel (the Binance side) trying to get the bankruptcy "clawback" claims decided via Hong Kong (China) arbitration panel as opposed to by the US bankruptcy court. In the US, if the arbitration clause isn't enforced then the litigation against the defense/Binance side would typically be decided without a jury, by a US bankruptcy judge, even though the challenged transfers were allegedly foreign company to foreign company transfers.

As such the hearing is a reminder of the many good years FTX had in Hong Kong during its successful period, and the Chinese investment money in and out of FTX, a group of companies that include Alameda entities and many offshore registered companies that are typically depicted as a single American FTX company by association with the Americans among the former FTX executives.
