• BlockFi executives lost about $800 million in equity holdings as a result of a loan from FTX.
• It was revealed that the executives granted themselves a $500,000 salary increment.
• The filing also revealed other notable withdrawals by senior members of the crypto lender.

According to a filing today, a loan from the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX initiated the loss of about $800 million in equity holdings belonging to BlockFi executives. The loss resulted from FTX’s offer of a $400 million loan to BlockFi last June.

The filing included transactions that emanated before the collapse of the crypto lender. Before BlockFi’s collapse in November, the crypto lender recorded a $4 million gross revenue. Further, the filing disclosed how the June transaction affected top executives of the crypto lender.

The massive salary increase took place at the last minute towards the collapse of BlockFi in November. Furthermore, Zac Prince made a transaction worth $9 million from the organization. However, the filing stated that the founder withdrew the funds to pay U.S. federal and state taxes. However, the founder withdrew another $870,000 in August.

FTX, BlockFi, and Sam Bankman-Fried are pursuing to claim of 56 million shares of Robinhood, which is worth about $465 million. To claim the shares, BlockFi filed a lawsuit against Sam Bankman-Fried.
