FTX Held Just $900MM In Liquid Assets Vs $9BN In Liabilities As Video Emerges Confirming Alameda Knew It Was Pilfering Client Funds
https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fmarkets%2Fftx-held-just-900mm-liquid-asset ^ | NOV 12, 2022 | TYLER DURDEN

What about the liquid assets? Well, the FT report goes on to notes that until Friday afternoon, Bankman-Fried was looking to sell the $472MM 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 an FT source. As a reminder, SBF acquired a 7.6% stake in Robinhood in May, a transaction which delayed (but did not halt) the company's collapse into oblivion. As part of the attempted firesale, Bankman-Fried was entertaining offers at a 20% discount to Robinhood’s VWAP price, or about $9 per share, said an FT source, who ultimately declined to buy due to perceived legal risks.

But what is remarkable, is that the proceeds from the HOOD stock offering would not have gone to the now bankrupt FTX estate to satisfy prepetition claims; instead 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.

In other words, SBF - who is most certainly on the run at this moment - was hoping to fill up his personal bank account by dumping his HOOD holdings, while giving FTX creditors the finger.

"If you didn't get a hint from the name Robin Hood you're a moron."

Fried was trying something shady with Robin Hood shares. However, it had the blessing of the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Maybe, but that girl looks so young I wonder if she's had her first period yet.

Only one question needs to be answered.

Did he steal any money from the Clinton’s?

Yes….he’s a dead man walking and the lives of any family members are in jeopardy.

No….he and any members of his family are safe.

I doubt that we will ever know how much questionable money the Democrats have received from shady donors, or who was truly the largest donor.

If he is able to access his funds, then he will be a spectacularly wealthy man in Argentina.

I could have used democrats instead of shysters. A distinction without a difference though.

I thought you were joking, until I saw the flight tracker that you posted on #30. Sheesh, America has liars, thieves, and scoundrels coming out of our ears. So much so that we can even farm some out to South America.
As Psalm 19:17 says, 'The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God'.
