FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried said he and former executive Gary Wang borrowed more than $546 million from Alameda Research to buy a nearly 8% stake in Robinhood Markets Inc, according to court papers.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The pair borrowed the funds earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The transactions were documented in a series of promissory notes, detailed in an affidavit that surfaced in a dispute in US bankruptcy court in New Jersey on Tuesday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Robinhood stake \u2014 about 56 million shares in total \u2014 is at the center of a multi-jurisdictional ownership fight playing out in Antigua, New Jersey and Delaware.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

FTX, bankrupt crypto lender BlockFi Inc. and an individual FTX creditor are all trying to establish claims to the shares in separate legal proceedings.<\/p>\n

BlockFi is suing Emergent Fidelity Technologies, the corporate entity that owns the Robinhood shares, for control of those shares, claiming they back a loan made to Alameda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

FTX lawyers have said former Alameda chief executive Caroline Ellison pledged the shares to BlockFi just before FTX\u2019s collapse.<\/p>\n

Alameda\u2019s borrowing from FTX is at the core of the fraud case against Bankman-Fried unfolding in Manhattan federal court.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It\u2019s unclear if the funds at issue in the bankruptcy dispute originated with FTX.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Bankman-Fried attested to the loans in an affidavit submitted to a judge in Antigua earlier this month, where Emergent Fidelity has been placed in insolvency proceedings.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for the company submitted the affidavit to BlockFi\u2019s bankruptcy judge on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal reported on the news earlier.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

In his affidavit, Bankman-Fried said the $546 million in loans from Alameda were \u201ccapitalized into\u201d Emergent Fidelity.<\/p>\n

Bankman-Fried owns 90% of Emergent and Wang owns the rest.<\/p>\n

The company then purchased 56 million shares in Robinhood, according to the affidavit. Bankman-Fried originally filed the affidavit in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court in Antigua on Dec. 12, the day of his arrest.<\/p>\n

He was seeking to wrest control of Emergent Fidelity from court-appointed liquidators on the island.<\/p>\n

It is one of several battles Bankman-Fried is facing following the collapse of FTX last month.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old is\u00a0currently on bail<\/a>\u00a0and living in California<\/a> after Manhattan prosecutors charged him with orchestrating a yearslong fraud involving billions of dollars of customer funds.<\/p>\n

Ellison, who pleaded guilty to fraud offenses in a deal with federal prosecutors, signed off on the loan to Bankman-Fried and Wang, the court papers show.<\/p>\n

Wang has also flipped on Bankman-Fried and cut a deal with prosecutors.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
The case is BlockFi Inc v. Emergent Fidelity Technologies Ltd, 22-19361, US Bankruptcy Court, District of New Jersey.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
