FTX claim sale agreement: transferred rights and duties after payment
Contents
Short answer
Before signing, identify the rights being transferred, treatment of earlier distributions, the amount and timing of payment, who records the transfer and what duties continue afterwards. The sale agreement and the Notice of Transfer (the court filing that records the sale) do different jobs. The documents you sign control the sale.
A claim sale agreement may be called a Sale and Assignment of Claim, or SAC. Its content matters more than its name. General explanations need to become clear contractual duties before signing. This guide focuses on reading documents for the US proceeding; a Bahamas transfer follows its own process.
Key facts
- A sale agreement sets commercial terms; the Notice of Transfer records a procedural event. [2]
- Identify the specific remaining rights rather than treating an old exchange balance as the sale’s subject.
- The Rule 3001(e)(2) objection period is not a universal waiting period before the seller is paid. [2]
- Payment does not necessarily end notice, cooperation or distribution-handling duties. Read the actual agreement.
Agreement, Notice of Transfer and court record
| Document or event | Purpose | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Sale and assignment agreement | Sets the commercial terms and duties. | Subject, payment, representations and continuing duties. |
| Evidence of transfer (Notice of Transfer) | Records the transfer procedurally in the case. | The correct claim and parties, consistent with the agreement. |
| Transfer reflected in the case | Shows the result of the applicable recording process. | The changed record, objections and outstanding requests. |
For a claim transferred after a proof of claim was filed, Rule 3001(e)(2) provides for filing evidence, notice to the alleged transferor and substitution, subject to its exceptions. That is not a court assessment of whether the price is attractive or a guarantee of payment. [2]
“The transferee … must file evidence of the transfer.”
The rule addresses procedural evidence. It does not replace the commercial agreement or establish that its payment conditions have been performed.
Identify exactly which payment rights are sold
Match the platform, identifier and claim description. The wording must explain the scope: which future distributions are included, which payments were received and which exceptions have expressly been agreed.
If there is a remaining-rights calculation, check its connection to the agreement. An old exchange balance does not automatically represent the current scope of rights.
Compare the record with the official status information. Disclose multiple claims, changed amounts or an earlier assignment before the final documents are prepared. Our claim-value guide explains remaining rights. [3]
Amount, currency and payment trigger must be clear
Confirm the final amount to be received, USDT or USDC, the network and wallet address. If an offer uses a percentage, identify the denominator; a percentage alone does not establish the purchase amount.
Our process states that the final price and payment date are fixed in the transfer agreement. Compare this with the proposed wording, including deductions, separately payable costs and conditions for changing the price. This guide does not publish a claimbao sale quotation. [1] [8]
Identify the event that triggers payment. Signing, filing the Notice of Transfer and reflecting the transfer in the case are different events. If the wording is unclear, resolve it before signing and include the agreed meaning in the documents.
Earlier payments and money received while a sale is being completed
Disclose all distributions already received before final terms are fixed. The agreement should make clear which payments have been accounted for and what happens if money arrives between signing and completion.
Check four points: the claim to which the payment belongs, the rights covered, whom to notify and how the amount will be handled. Do not spend money whose ownership is disputed on the assumption that it is obviously yours.
FTX links the official distribution recipient to the applicable record date. So check who actually receives a distribution against what the parties agreed. Separately disclose any distribution that was forfeited and any FTX notice about it; FTX tells claim buyers to confirm with the original holder that no prior distribution was forfeited. [4][5]
Read representations and liability provisions
Find statements about ownership, an earlier sale or pledge, completeness of information, received payments and disputes. Representations should fit facts you can support. An unknown answer should not be replaced by an assumption at signing.
Ask about the consequences of an inaccurate representation, including any compensation, repayment or termination provision. Check limits, periods, exceptions and dispute procedure. These are questions to ask about a particular agreement, not a statement that every mechanism applies to every claimbao sale.
If clawback of past withdrawals is discussed, identify the exact risk and whose duty the clause describes. Do not confuse that issue with forwarding future payments covered by the assignment. You can have your own lawyer review the documents before signing.
Who files the Notice of Transfer?
Our published process says that we file the Notice of Transfer in FTX’s US bankruptcy case; the notice is public. We show what will be filed before signing. Check the details against the agreement and ask which filing confirmation you will receive. [1]
Under Rule 3001(e)(2), the alleged transferor has 21 days after the notice is mailed to object, and the court can extend that period. It is neither a universal payment timetable nor a period counted from the agreement’s signature. [2]
Keep any notice received and compare it with the agreed transfer. Raise an incorrect claim, party or scope promptly with the team and your adviser, taking account of the notice’s stated deadline.
“21 days after the notice is mailed to file an objection.”
The clock concerns objections after mailing of the notice. The agreement separately determines when the seller is paid.
Duties can continue after you receive the purchase payment
| Later event | What to clarify in the agreement |
|---|---|
| FTX, Kroll or a court sends correspondence | Whom to forward it to, by when, and who handles the substance. |
| A distribution arrives on rights already sold | How to notify the buyer and handle money covered by the agreement. |
| A signature or clarification is requested | The agreed cooperation duty and allocation of related costs. |
| The buyer requests repayment or compensation | The clause relied upon, supporting facts and dispute procedure. |
Do not assume that receiving money ends every obligation. Keep the agreement, schedules, proof of payment and correspondence. Discuss cooperation duties before signing if their scope or purpose is unclear.
A transfer does not automatically repair KYC or tax issues
An agreement does not automatically resolve unfinished KYC, a sanctions restriction or a court order excluding a claim. Our checks precede the agreement; negotiations alone do not establish that a sale is eligible. [1]
Use FTX’s official KYC guide for official statuses rather than substituting a buyer’s completed checks. Disclose disputes or expungement before the subject of the sale is agreed. [6]
For a customer claim already sold to a third party, FTX says the buyer submits the applicable tax form through the prescribed process. That does not remove the seller’s personal tax duties arising from the sale, and an unfinished negotiation is not a completed transfer. [7]
Resolve these points before signing
- The identifier, platform and precise rights being transferred.
- Earlier distributions and payments arriving during completion.
- The final amount, currency, network, address and payment-trigger event.
- Seller representations, liability grounds and dispute process.
- The filing party, recording evidence and procedure for correcting errors.
- Continuing duties concerning notices, signatures, distributions and costs.
Do not sign with an unresolved difference between the described process and the proposed agreement. Ask the question first and obtain an agreed version. Our document guide explains how to prepare the underlying information.
Discuss the transfer terms
Provide the claim details and your questions about the agreement. Before signing, clarify the rights, payment and subsequent duties.

Frequently asked questions
Is an SAC the same as an FTX claim assignment agreement?
Sale and Assignment of Claim is a common name for a claim sale and transfer agreement. The name does not replace reading its subject, payment terms, representations and duties.
Does signing mean the court record already reflects the transfer?
No. Signing and procedural recording are separate events. Ask who files the evidence and what confirmation you will receive.

Must the seller wait 21 days before payment?
There is no such general rule. Rule 3001(e)(2) addresses an objection period after mailing a notice. The agreement determines the payment trigger and timing.
Related source [2]
Do all future payments always pass to the buyer?
Read the assigned rights and exceptions. Do not replace the actual contractual scope with a general statement about every amount associated with an account.
Related source [1]
Can I keep a distribution received after selling?
First check it against the rights transferred and the agreed process. Notify the buyer and agree how the amount will be handled. The date the money arrived does not by itself establish who is entitled to it.
Related source [1]
Do all obligations end when I receive the price?
Not necessarily. The agreement may retain duties to forward notices, cooperate with recording and account for distributions on sold rights. Clarify their scope before signing.
