3AC Seeks Subpoenas for SBF, Ellison and Salame, Sets Oct. 14 Deposition for Bankman-Fried

The filings pursue sworn testimony to bolster 3AC’s claim that FTX unlawfully liquidated roughly $1.5 billion during the 2022 crash.

Overview

  • Three Arrows Capital filed notices to subpoena Sam Bankman-Fried, Caroline Ellison, and Ryan Salame, with Bankman-Fried’s deposition scheduled for October 14, 2025.
  • Bankman-Fried is incarcerated in California and would need transport to testify if the subpoena is approved, according to the filing.
  • FTX’s bankruptcy estate disputes 3AC’s valuation, saying the account netted about $284 million after margin debt and that only $82 million was liquidated under contract terms.
  • 3AC co-founder Zhu Su alleges improper liquidation and claims Salame used insider information to trade against clients and pocket roughly $1 billion, allegations that remain contested.
  • Creditor repayments by the FTX estate continue, with another distribution planned on or around September 30, 2025, and about $6.2 billion returned so far.
