He stated that one of the motions "relates to Robinhood shares, which the federal government has also seized, and we don't think those assets are in the estate or exempt, meaning they don't have to be frozen pending liquidation like most FTX assets," he said, At the same time, the assets of several banks have been seized, including Silvergate, which is closely related to FTX.
