Shapiro told the bankruptcy court hearing in Delaware that the DOJ does not believe the shares were the property of a bankruptcy estate, and its ownership could be determined in a forfeiture proceeding.
Bankman-Fried, who is currently awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to fraud charges, and FTX cofounder Gary wang formed a holding company in May 2022 called Emergent Fidelity Technologies Ltd. to purchase 56 million Robinhood shares with US$546 million in loans from Alameda Research, the brokerage arm of FTX.

On Dec. 13, new FTX CEO John J. Ray III told congress that the exchange lost US$8 billion of customer deposits and that Bankman-Fried and select executives at the exchange had access to customer funds.
Bankman-Fried is facing charges of bank and wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy, and could possibly spend the rest of his life in prison.
Wang and Caroline Ellison, the former chief of Alameda Research, have both accepted plea bargains for reduced sentences.
