### FTX records
The [[FTX]] creditor matrix filed January 25, 2023 (In re FTX Trading Ltd., No. 22-11068, Bankr. D. Del., Doc 574, page 102 of 116) carries creditor "THE SALT FUND" with contact lines "AJ SCARAMUCCI," "ALEX KLOKUS" and a third individual, and a second row "THE SALT FUND / AJ SCARAMUCCI," without address, amount or claim type; the matrix also has a separate row "SKYBRIDGE CAPITAL." The debtors' Updated Interested Parties List (Doc 14607-1, May 10, 2024, page 7 of 13) lists "SALT Fund Management, LLC" under "Interested Parties." The notice-parties service list attached to the Kroll affidavit (Doc 18381, Exhibit B), served June 13, 2024 with the order approving the sale of FTX's Anthropic shares, lists "The Salt Fund" with email addresses at the thesaltfund.com domain for Scaramucci and Klokus; other rows on that list carry the annotation "(Shareholder of Anthropic)" and this row does not. The claims register could not be retrieved, so no claim amount is known.[^9]

At the criminal trial of [[Sam Bankman-Fried]] (United States v. Bankman-Fried, No. 22-cr-673, S.D.N.Y.), the government described Exhibit 285 on October 17, 2023 as an updated invitation from a thesaltfund.com address to an ftx.com address "among others," subject "Updated invitation: SALT fund," at Bluestone Lane, 55 Hudson Yards, on September 17, 2021, during testimony on cell-site records; the testimony names no SALT principal.[^10]
### SALT brand and the SkyBridge adversary proceeding
The conference organization's site states: "SALT was founded in 2009 by SkyBridge Capital, a leading fund of funds, but now operates as a standalone entity"; its operating company is SALT Venture Group, LLC, 527 Madison Avenue, New York. Correspondence of July 29, 2024 from SkyBridge Opportunity Fund to the Securities and Exchange Commission states that "SALT Venture Group, LLC ('SALT'), a company affiliated with SkyBridge, hosts large investment conferences."[^11] Alex Klokus's speaker biography on the same site calls him "Founder and Managing Partner at the SALT Fund" and carries the footer of SALT Venture Group, LLC. The Form ADV of SALT Fund Management LLC lists neither SALT Venture Group nor SkyBridge as a related person, and no document opened states that SALT Fund Management LLC is owned by, licensed by or affiliated with either.[^1][^11]

The defendants moved on January 29, 2025 to compel arbitration and dismiss, and the trust opposed on April 8, 2025; neither was opened.[^12]
