Under the terms of their agreement, Rossi was entitled to a portion of their joint savings in SOL tokens. Due to the &#8220;acrimonious and protracted&#8221; nature of the process, she agreed to 25% instead of the standard 50%.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, Akridge provided access to three accounts where the assets were held.
