Collapsed crypto exchange FTX and its affiliate Alameda Research have been ordered by a U.S. court to pay $12.7 billion to customers and victims of their fraud. The ruling, approved by a federal judge, resolves a lawsuit filed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in December 2022.

The settlement includes $8.7 billion in restitution and $4 billion in disgorgement. The CFTC agreed to prioritize victims' claims over its own and will not seek additional civil penalties. The ruling follows the sentencing of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried to 25 years in prison for his role in the massive fraud.
