The FBI has been looking into its data since FTX collapsed. This is because of a Jonathan Randles story in Bloomberg that indicated the exchange's advisors, Alvarez & Marsal, had given the agency access to trading data and client information. The need for access to this data by US law enforcement could stem from a number of factors. If FTX files for bankruptcy, the FBI may look into the company's management procedures as well as any possible transgressions of financial laws or other wrongdoing that may have contributed to the company's financial collapse. It's possible that the FBI is investigating whether any particular clients were given special treatment during the company's demise. Advisors got "subpoenas from at least five FBI field offices," ranging from Portland to Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and Oakland, according to Randles' statement. This revelation stems from Alvarez & Marsal billing records, which also reveal that the FBI was given access to trading information and that FTX's "cloud-computing data" underwent a comprehensive examination.
