Furthermore, the investigation established that other defendant FTX managers unlawfully moved assets, not rightfully theirs, to other exchanges after FTX announced bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities who researched the complaints they received realized this situation and sued the <strong>Salameda<\/strong> managers who committed such irregularities.
