The aircraft's original purchase prices were $15.9 million and $12.5 million, respectively, although the exact financial details are still unknown.
Prosecutors are moving to liquidate two opulent airplanes before concluding forfeiture processes in a recent development in the US government's legal struggle with Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX.
The action was described in a March 22 filing with the U.S. The District Court for the Southern District of New York was established as a result of U.S. To lessen the financial losses on two planes connected to FTX and Bankman-Fried, attorney Damian Williams was involved.
A Bombardier Global and an Embraer Legacy, which were earlier marked in October 2023 as potentially subject to seizure because of their association with Bankman-criminal Fried's operations, are the assets in question and the government's plan seeks to handle their depreciation.
The aircraft's original purchase prices were $15.9 million and $12.5 million, respectively, although the exact financial details are still unknown.
However, the prosecution intends to set aside up to $1.8 million for their upkeep and an extra $183,000 for the transfer of the Embraer Legacy, provided that the returns from sales are sufficient.
Following a court order, the USMS had already taken possession of Bombardier Global earlier in February 2023.
These planes are just a small portion of the assets associated with Bankman-Fried that are subject to confiscation as a result of his conviction on several criminal offenses.
In March, a list of assets was made public, which included cryptocurrency holdings, shares in Robinhood, and political contributions made by SBF while he was employed at FTX.
