    <p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">Crypto</a> trading firm Robinhood has been able to repurchase <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Sam Bankman-Fried" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/sam-bankman-fried.html">Sam Bankman-Fried</a> and Gary Wang’s stakes from the United States Marshal Service.&nbsp;</p> 
    <p>FTX founders Bankman-Fried and Wang owned 55 million shares in Robinhood through Emergent Fidelity Technologies; these shares were seized as part of the criminal case against Bankman-Fried. A warrant for seizure of these shares was issued on December 30, 2022. On January 4, they were transferred to the US which filed to sell these on August 13.</p> 
    <p>Robinhood paid $605 million to repurchase these shares in an agreement with the US Marshal Service.&nbsp;</p> 
    <p>Bankman-Fried and his lawyers have previously opposed the FTX bankruptcy estate’s claim on these shares and specifically argued that clients of FTX only risked “economic loss,” whereas Bankman-Fried faced the “irreparable” harm of potentially not being able to use these funds to support his criminal defense.&nbsp;</p>

    <p>Wang has already pleaded guilty to wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, and conspiracy to commit securities fraud.&nbsp;</p> 
    <p>Bankman-Fried faces many similar charges and more, but has continued to plead not guilty so far.&nbsp;</p>
