Emergent Fidelity was the company which held 56 million shares of Robinhood Markets stock, an asset that quickly became a subject of key interest among several companies for the value it could bring FTX creditors. The shares were also pledged as collateral to bankrupt crypto lender BlockFi, which placed its own claim last year.
Bankman-Fried has argued he should retain control of the shares. Nevertheless, federal officials moved to seize control of the assets in January.Bloomberg reportedBankman-Fried is the owner of 90% of Emergent Fidelity, and with FTX co-founder Wang owning the remaining 10%. Emergent Fidelity's bankruptcy filing could not immediately be obtained. It is unclear what debts Emergent is claiming at this time.
