In a late Monday announcement, the collapsed crypto exchange FTX announced it had a “severe liquidity crisis” as it filed for bankruptcy in a U.S. bankruptcy court.

The company announced that it had appointed five new independent directors at each of its main companies, including its sibling trading firm Alameda Research, as Sam Bankman-Fried and others stepped down.

The collapsed-crypto exchange also notes that its new leadership was in contact with financial regulators. Veteran insolvency overseer John J. Ray III, the new CEO, will work with legal, cybersecurity and forensic advisers on FTX’s bankruptcy.

The bankruptcy filing also reveals that FTX had filed over 100 dockets (a brief written summary of a document), including Alameda Research, West Realm Shires, and Clifton Bay Investments.

In all, the beleaguered exchange is said to have over one million individual creditors. The filing requests that the 100 dockets be treated under the same case, rather than treat each as its own individual case.
