The IRS has filed claims worth almost $44 billion against bankrupt crypto exchange FTX and its affiliated entities. The claims include 45 against FTX companies, with the largest being a $20.4 billion claim against Alameda Research LLC. The IRS is claiming about $20 billion in partnership taxes and millions in withheld income and payroll taxes. The claims are filed under the classification "Admin Priority," which could allow the IRS' claims to take precedence over other creditors in a bankruptcy case. FTX's bankruptcy attorneys have located more than $5 billion in various assets, and the company estimates it has between $1 billion and $10 billion in assets overall.
