A United State district judge has referred a motion requesting the appointment of an independent examiner for bankrupt crypto exchange FTX to appellate court.

In documents filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware on May 30, Judge Colm Connolly said the U.S. trustee in FTX’s case, Andrew Vara, requested an appeal following the bankruptcy court rejecting a motion in February to appoint an examiner overseeing the failed crypto exchange. According to court filings, bankruptcy laws allow the appointment of an independent examiner when certain conditions are met — as in the case of FTX — but do not require it.
