When asked about the offer, Morgan Creek Digital declined to answer.

According to Yusko, the FTX credit line proposal had a catch for BlockFi’s existing shareholders: It gave FTX the option to buy BlockFi “at essentially zero price.”
If FTX were to exercise said option, it would effectively wipe out all of BlockFi’s existing equity shareholders, including management and employees with stock options, as well as all equity investors in the company’s previous venture rounds.
The debate went on twitter the day BlockFi CEO Prince tweeted clarifying details regarding the company.
He said that the corporation has already signed a preliminary term sheet with FTX.
Yusko had a talk with investors regarding it, and he said that the FTX and BlockFi’s deal is going to be done within three days.
This was all conversed within a leaked call.
“We are still negotiating the terms of the deal and cannot share more information at this time,” a BlockFi spokesperson said.
Yusko has warned Morgan Creek that while he was doing everything he could to rescue his funding into Blockfi’s assets, the success was not at all near.
“It’s not over, but it is definitely looking dark,” he said.
