"We do have significant exposure to FTX and associated corporate entities that encompasses obligations owed to us by Alameda"
I feel like the term "exposure" was intended as a euphemism, but it is now so thoroughly overused that I am developing a more negative reaction to the term than the words it was intended to hide from. "We had exposure to X" is starting to sound worse to me than "We invested in X and X lost a lot of our money"! The latter sounds like a reasonable thing that happens even to reasonable people but I'm starting to associate the former with more insane things happening to careless people.
But maybe that's just because of the sort of things I tend to read.
