The bearish rhythm initiated by the collapse of the former multi-billion dollar crypto exchange, FTX, currently resonates throughout the world, despite the crypto market’s recent recovery from its adverse effects in the recent period. Interestingly, the holding company of the exchange’s founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as Emergent Fidelity Technologies, has filed for bankruptcy.
Laut einem Bericht von Bloomberg, the Antigua and Barbuda-based company filed for bankruptcy on Friday, joining the 130+ companies associated with FTX that have issued similar filings. Moreover, it is also crucial to note that it is Emergent Fidelity Technologies that owns over 55 million Robinhood shares, which are worth more than $550 million and are a crucial part of the exchange’s bankruptcy process.
Darüber hinaus reichte Emergent Fidelity Technologies einen freiwilligen Insolvenzantrag im Rahmen eines Insolvenzantrags nach Kapitel 11 beim United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware ein und ist bereits Ziel der im November eingereichten Klage des Krypto-Kreditgebers BlockFi bezüglich des Eigentums an den Robinhood-Aktien .
Interessanterweise hat das Justizministerium (DoJ) derzeit die Kontrolle über die Robinhood-Aktien, die zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung derzeit $590 Millionen wert sind und noch viel mehr wert sein könnten, wenn sich die globale makroökonomische Situation in den kommenden Tagen verbessert. Diese Aktien waren ein Streitpunkt zwischen BlockFi, dem FTX-Gläubiger Yonathan Ben Shimon und Bankman-Fried selbst.
The DoJ seized around 55,273,469 shares of Robinhood (HOOD) along with $20 million in cash from Emergent Fidelity Technologies, which were cited as the “only known assets” belonging to the holding company. Prior to the seizure by the DoJ, these shares were held by brokerage firm ED&F Man Capital Markets.
A court filing on January 6 said that the “indictment includes forfeiture allegations, seeking to forfeit property that constitutes or was derived from proceeds traceable to the conspiracy to commit wire fraud and property involved in the conspiracy to commit money laundering.”
As reported by Bitnation in an earlier report, Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyers have submitted a plea to seine 56 Millionen Aktien der Robinhood Trading App behalten reversing the DoJ’s decision to seize the same. The lawyers claim that SBF has “not been found criminally or civilly liable for fraud, and it is improper for FTX debtors to ask the Court to simply assume that everything Mr. Bankman-Fried ever touched is presumptively fraudulent.”
It was also revealed by Angela Barkhouse, one of the Joint Provisional Liquidators in the case, that the holding company filed for bankruptcy in the same court as FTX to pursue a “form of joint administration” between the two bankruptcies.
“The [Joint Provisional Liquidators’] duties are to the Debtor’s creditors, whoever those creditors may be,” said Barkhouse. “Given the many parties claiming to be creditors or outright owners of the [Robinhood shares] in proceedings in the U.S., the JPLs believe that chapter 11 protection is the only practical way to empower the Debtor to defend itself, the Assets, and its creditors’ interests in the U.S.”
Barkhouse fügte hinzu, dass SBF fast 90% der Holdinggesellschaft besitzt, während Mitbegründer Gary Wang die restlichen 10% besitzt.
