Three accounts held at Silvergate Bank, under the name FTX Digital Markets, hold more than $6 million. Those assets, held in the name of a Bahamian subsidiary, were seized by the government “around” January 11.

Nearly $50 million is held at Moonstone Bank, a US financial institution with ties to FTX management.
