The General Counsel of the FTXUS exchange confirmed that the exchange transferred funds to a safe place following a hack attack on the platform.
FTX, FTXus & Alameda Research are currently under a liquidity crisis, where they are not able to provide their corresponding services. The whole situation arose because of the controversy between Binance & FTX exchange over the FTX token sale decision.
On 12 November, Ryne Miller, General Counsel at the FTXus exchange, informed the crypto community that the exchange transferred the funds from the exchange to the cold storage wallet, as a part of bankruptcy proceedings & remained away from any kind of further loss of unauthorised transactions which happened on the previous day.
Following the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings – FTX US and FTX [dot] com initiated precautionary steps to move all digital assets to cold storage. Process was expedited this evening – to mitigate damage upon observing unauthorized transactions.

Hack attack on FTX exchange
On 11 November, a few experts noted that unauthorised crypto transactions were going on from the FTX exchange to an unknown wallet. The FTX team confirmed that the exchange was compromised.
Few experts claim that hack attack news on the exchange was only a theory and nothing happened.
On 11 November, Zane Tackett, the head of institutional sales at embattled crypto exchange FTX, said that he stepped down from his role and he also said that his team was under full dark over the potential insolvency of the exchange.
Zane confirmed that he left his role at the company on 8 November and now he is fully blocked from the end of the crypto exchange.
