OK, yes, there are Bahamian entities over which Bahamian authorities likely have jurisdiction. But given what you say with regards to the complexity of FTX's corporate structure, it's likely difficult to determine that the assets that were transferred to Bahamian authorities actually belong to those Bahamian entities.
Maybe it's better that these assets are in the hands of Bahamian authorities, but it is highly questionable that the transfer happened after the Delaware filing, and that it was made in such a sloppy way that destroyed so much value.
My albeit very basic understanding is that once the bankruptcy filing was made in Delaware, the Bahamas had some obligation to defer to the Delaware courts.
It makes one wonder if this was actually an official action to begin with, and was not instead given a post hoc imprimatur only when it became obvious that the transfers could not be hidden.
