Robinhood strikes deal with U.S. Marshal Service to buy back shares seized from Sam Bankman-Fried

Robinhood‘s proposed deal to repurchase shares seized from Sam Bankman-Fried by the U.S. Marshal Service (USMS) has been approved by a federal court in the Southern District of New York.

As a result, Robinhood will be allowed to buy back shares seized from Bankman-Fried’s Emergent Fidelity Technologies for $605.7 million, according to a statement released by the company.

He had voiced enthusiasm about Robinhood’s business prospects, hinting at potential partnerships with the platform.

The FTX founder sought to retain ownership of Robinhood shares worth $450 million. He vehemently disputed the bankrupt exchange’s “legal claims” over the assets, insisting that he and Gary Wang were the primary holders of the shares, not Alameda Research or any other entities implicated in the FTX bankruptcy.

Robinhood has demonstrated robust strength within the crypto market, underlined by its substantial holdings in Bitcoin (
