I still don't think people are going to see that money anytime soon. I imagine that if they pay, it will be something for a few years to come, like MT GOX. Don't get your hopes up about receiving money from FTX, they will always find a way not to pay, going to court or making excuses.
I think you are right, but it is possible that they are delaying like they have the funds but they use them to make a profit when they get it they give it away.
or they may not pay at all.
I think people in crypto already understand this risk.
