The feds seized a stake in Anthropic from Sam Bankman-Fried's friends. What happened to the shares?
Sam Bankman-Fried's Anthropic stake was liquidated in bankruptcy court two years ago. His friends' shares went down a different path.
Two associates of Sam Bankman-Fried invested in Anthropic before he faced fraud charges. After their conviction, their shares became part of a legal black hole. The feds seized shares belonging to Caroline Ellison and Nishad Singh, and quietly sold those Anthropic shares last year. The government acquired a stake in Anthropic without paying from Bankman-Fried's associates, but their fate is unclear.
