BlockFi Denied Return of Robinhood Sales by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge, Insiders Did Not Remove Crypto from Platform
Notably, BlokFi filed for bankruptcy in November, shortly after crypto exchange FTX collapsed. BlockFi’s lawyers told the court yesterday that the company’s executives have not removed any of their locked crypto from the platform since October 2022.
Attorney Sussberg said:
The important thing to take here is that there are no examples of insiders withdrawing money from the platform at or close to this financial filing. Additionally, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Michael Kaplan denied BlockFi’s claim for the return of Robinhood’s sales that FTX promised to BlockFi as collateral for the loan.
Kaplan said:
At this time, it is clear that this court cannot grant any kind of transfer order. The judge explained that the government is holding the shares because of a warrant of arrest and is not part of the ongoing opposition process.
