Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried's (SBF) attorneys have opposed the subpoena sent by bankrupt crypto lender Voyager Digital's creditors, claiming that the order was not properly served.
The popular crypto figure's legal defenders requested a federal judge in California to quash the order.
Attorneys also cited the Fifth Amendment, also known as the right to remain silent, to block the summons.
- The subpoena requires SBF to appear in court remotely on Feb. 23 and to provide 49 separate requested documents by Feb. 20.
- The order also summons other top FTX executives, including FTX co-founder Gary Wang, FTX's head of product Ramnic Arora, and Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison, with a deadline of Feb. 17 for delivering requested information.
The subpoena served to SBF is mainly related to FTX's attempt to acquire Voyager Digital after the crypto lender declared bankruptcy in July 2022.
- FTX US announced it would buy Voyager Digital for $1.5B in September last year before filing for bankruptcy itself in November.
