Oh yup they do. The IRS also claims FTX.us must pay them $44 billions and because it's the IRS they get preferential treatment and are to be paid those $44 billions before customers get to get their money.
So it's all "fake monopoly money" and whatnots, but the US government is certainly enjoying very real money from all this, not to mention the tax on realized gains they're making too.
