FTX bankruptcy hearing 5/14/2026 - court ruling granting objection to claim + motion hearing

For the agenda for the hearing, see the amended agenda filed the day of the hearing, docket number 35618 here:

The court's ruling granting the objection to the claim gets into the FTX fraud, how people lost savings, some their families' life savings due to the FTX fraud for which Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted following trial by jury, and sentenced to a 25 year sentence. SBF has appealed his criminal conviction via counsel, seeking a new trial before a new judge.

I believe Melamed is typically pronounced Me-LAH-med, not as it is pronounced by the court. The New York City based federal courts tend to do a better job with Jewish surnames than the Delaware federal courts. FTX's bankruptcy proceedings are ongoing in Delaware. SBF is imprisoned in California.

MATTERS GOING FORWARD at this May 14, per the amended court agenda:

FTX Recovery Trust’s Objection to Proofs of Claim Filed by ELD Capital LLC [D.I. 34251, filed on January 2, 2026] Status: The Court will issue a bench ruling on the objection at the hearing.

FTX Recovery Trust’s Motion to Enforce Prior Orders that Preclude Seth Melamed from Asserting New Claims in Arbitration [D.I. 35243, filed on April 2, 2026] Objection Deadline: April 9, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. (ET); extended to April 20, 2026 for Seth Melamed.
