According to documents submitted to the Delaware bankruptcy court, the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX’s Bahama branch spent almost $40 million in hotels, food, and flights in the span of nine months.
$15.4 million was spent on luxury hotels and accommodations from January to September 2022, while almost $5.8 million went towards Sam Bankman-Fried’s stay at the Albany Hotel, where per night costs can go as high as $60,000. Moreover, $6.9 million was entitled to “meals and entertainment” as per filings reviewed by Insider.
