New York taxi drivers and politicians are raising alarms after a secretive hedge fund this week quietly became the city’s largest owner of taxi-medallion loans.

Marblegate Asset Management — a tight-lipped investment firm that has already scooped up some 300 medallions and 1,000 loans, many of them previously owned by disgraced “Taxi King” Gene Freidman — has taken over loans tied to an additional 3,000 New York medallions, sources told The Post.

The state’s attorney general is seeking $810 million from the city to compensate financially struggling taxi medallion owners. New York State’s attorney general on Thursday accused New York City of committing fraud by artificially inflating the value of yellow taxi medallions, and she demanded $810 million from the city to compensate the thousands of cabdrivers who are now saddled with enormous debt.
