Crisis and Transformation

Anticipating disruption and staying ahead of change

Driving Maximum Creditor Recovery in the FTX Bankruptcy

In 2022, FTX, once the third-largest crypto exchange, and Alameda, a related crypto trading firm, suffered a spike in customer withdrawals amidst allegations of fraud, leaving many customers unable to access their assets.Soon after, when FTX and Alameda filed for bankruptcy, its customers became creditors, while billions of dollars in cryptocurrency assets remained with the exchange and were subject to market risks. FTI Consulting’s experts advised the Unsecured Creditor Committee (“UCC”) on the optimal strategy to monetize the vast cryptocurrency holdings to ensure maximum recovery. Drawing on the full strength of FTI Consulting, we helped enhance asset values, including designing a digital asset monetization strategy; optimized creditor recoveries, including developing a detailed claims recovery model; and communicated with creditor and customer stakeholders.In 2025 the American Bankruptcy Institute recognized the work with FTX – including FTI Consulting’s contribution as Financial Advisor to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors – as “International Matter of the Year.”

Record-Breaking CAD3.56B Award Caps Decades of Litigation for Dow Chemical

In 1997, Union Carbide and NOVA Chemicals entered a joint venture to build a facility in Joffre, Alberta, Canada, with an 80-year contract to produce ethylene, a key ingredient for producing plastics. Dow Chemical, a competitor of NOVA, acquired Union Carbide’s ownership of the joint venture in 2001, expecting NOVA to honor the existing contract. However, in 2006, Dow sued, alleging that NOVA was diverting some of Dow’s ethylene for itself and was not running the plant at full capacity as they were required to do.FTI Consulting was engaged by Dow in 2011, and the case went to trial in 2015. In June 2018, the Court awarded CAD1.43 billion in damages covering the period from 2001 through 2012 and ordered an additional calculation for damages through June 2018. NOVA paid Dow in 2019.In September 2020, however, the Alberta Court of Appeal directed that Dow’s damages be recalculated, resulting in several years of court proceedings to determine the full amount of the damages award to Dow.
