FTX News: A bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, which applied for US court protection, might be subject to a twist in the proceedings. The U.S. Department of Justice’s bankruptcy authority is now considering whether the investigation should be extended further.
According to reports, John Dorsey (a U.S Bankruptcy judge who oversees the FTX’s Chapter 11 proceeding) has been asked to appoint an outside examiner for the probe. The Department of Justice’s bankruptcy watchdog stated that this is necessary to verify the allegations of fraud and misconduct.

This request will be decided by the judge on Monday. FTX, however, has resisted this suggestion and called it redundant and wasteful. The crypto exchange stated that the appointed examiner would do the same work as FTX and its creditors.
