: Was passiert mit dem 7,6 % Anteil von FTX?
"Until Friday afternoon, Bankman-Fried was looking to sell the $472mn of Robinhood shares, the largest liquid asset listed for FTX Trading, in privately negotiated deals he was arranging on the messaging app Signal, according to a person directly involved in the negotiations.
The person noted that the Robinhood shares were held by an Antigua and Barbuda entity called Emergent Fidelity, which is personally controlled by Bankman-Fried, according to US securities filings. Emergent Fidelity is not among the entities listed in Friday’s bankruptcy filing.
Bankman-Fried was entertaining offers at an about 20 per cent discount to Robinhood’s volume-weighted average price, or about $9 per share, said the investor, who ultimately declined to buy due to perceived legal risks.
Bankman-Fried acquired a 7.6 per cent stake in Robinhood in May and had intimated at considering a full acquisition of the popular trading app."
