the Bahamas
FTX maintained its corporate headquarters and offices in the Bahamas, where employees lived in company housing, including a luxury apartment shared by Bankman-Fried and others. The prosecution alleged that customer money funded Bahamas real estate, while the defense characterized the properties as legitimate corporate housing used to recruit employees. Testimony also addressed meetings with the Securities Commission of the Bahamas, the surrender and return of passports, brief withdrawals for Bahamian customers, and later communications with local regulators and liquidators.

The Bahamas had a substantive role in the case record as the location of FTX's headquarters, employee housing and work activity, and as the setting for disputed real-estate expenditures and interactions with local authorities during the collapse.
