Randal A. Nardone, co-founder and COO of Fortress Investment Group, and his wife, Melani, sold their apartment at the Heritage at Trump Place at 240 Riverside Boulevard for $9 million to Sylvain Mirochnikoff and his wife, Xena Warrior Princess actress Rebekah Mercer. The “sprawling” open-floor-plan, river-view four-bedroom was listed by Corcoran’s David Chang.

Fortress Investment Group, which became the first Wall Street company to declare an investment in Bitcoin, is rolling its holdings into a $150m hedge fund that is targeting investments from digital currency enthusiasts.
Fortress is swapping its $13m stash of Bitcoins as part of a deal that will hand it an equity stake in Pantera Capital Management, the manager of the three-month old Pantera Bitcoin Partners fund.
Benchmark, the California-based venture capital firm whose investments include Twitter and Snapchat, and Ribbit Capital are also taking equity stakes, Pantera announced on Tuesday.
