Business Insider's Jacob Shamsian reports that the federal government seized the shares after their fraud sentencings and quietly sold them to existing Anthropic investors last year. It remains unclear how much the government made, who bought the shares, and whether the proceeds will go to FTX victims.\n\n[19 upvotes] Imagine being the person who signed off on that sale and then watching Anthropic’s valuation climb.",
