The Bahamas Security Commission announced on Thursday that it has been holding onto FTX customer assets worth more than $3.5 billion since November 12.

The Bahamas Commission has not given the FTX debtors any additional information to settle the valuation discrepancy, and neither did the press release specify the kind of bitcoin that was seized or the technique used to value it.

The agency is urged by the FTX debtors to clarify any misunderstandings that their recent comments have caused and to give the public, correct information about the cryptocurrency that was seized and how it was valued for the purposes of these remarks.
