Kroll Liquidators Secured Multi-Million Dollar Settlement Between Emergent Fidelity Technologies and FTX Estate Approved by US Bankruptcy Court
 |
NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Kroll, the leading independent provider of global financial and risk advisory solutions, announced today that a multi-million dollar settlement between the liquidators of Emergent Fidelity Technologies, Ltd. and the FTX Estate has been approved by the US Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. This settlement involves the recovery of 56 million shares in Robinhood Markets, Inc., acquired by Emergent in May 2022.
Emergent is an Antiguan entity controlled by former FTX executives Sam Bankman-Fried and Zixiao "Gary" Wang. Kroll’s liquidators of Emergent, Angela Barkhouse and Toni Shukla were originally appointed as Receivers over Emergent on an emergency basis to prevent assets from being sold and made inaccessible to the victims of Bankman-Fried’s scheme. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) took control of the assets. The liquidators from Kroll worked with the DOJ to facilitate the repurchase of shares by Robinhood, securing over $626 million for the victims of the FTX scheme.
This settlement is part of the ongoing efforts to recoup assets back for the victims of Bankman-Fried’s scheme.
Angela Barkhouse, Head of Offshore Restructuring at Kroll commented, "The settlement is a significant step in the liquidation of Emergent Fidelity Technologies, Ltd., providing a fair and efficient resolution for all parties. It underscores our commitment to maximizing value and aims to resolve outstanding claims and facilitate the equitable distribution of assets to creditors."
