Mt Gox Creditors May See Bitcoin Returned Soon<\/h2>\n

On Tuesday, Nobuaki Kobayashi published a notice<\/a> of confirmation that the rehabilitation plan has been finalized. $Over 9 billion worth of bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) may find its way back to the original owners who lost money during the Mt Gox hack and bankruptcy that followed. Since 2014, thousands of former Mt Gox users have tried to get their funds back and have been met with a myriad of obstacles over the years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kobayashi\u2019s filing says that the Tokyo court revealed<\/a> the draft rehabilitation plan in May and on October 20, 2021, it was \u201capproved by a large majority of rehabilitation creditors.\u201d The court filing does not disclose when the funds will be disbursed and if the funds will be paid directly in bitcoin (BTC<\/a>). \u201cAn announcement will be made to rehabilitation creditors on the details of the specific timing, procedures, and amount of such repayments,\u201d Kobayashi said.<\/p>\n

Mt Gox was one of the largest bitcoin exchanges before it went under in 2014, which saw close to 24,000 customers affected. The exchange was operated by Mark Karpel\u00e8s and originally the exchange lost 850,000 BTC<\/a> but Karpel\u00e8s managed to locate some of the bitcoin from cold storage. Reports<\/a> detail that there\u2019s roughly 150,000 BTC<\/a> that Kobayashi reportedly will distribute to Mt Gox creditors.<\/p>\n

Creditors Must Use the Mt Gox Online Filing System \u2014 A Large Number of Inquiries May Delay Reply Times<\/h2>\n

The court filing published on Tuesday further explains that the trustee expects \u201call the rehabilitation creditors\u201d to register information such as bank account info using the online filing system<\/a>. The website details that the period for filing proofs tied to claims ended on October 22, and since then users can no longer file proofs of rehabilitation claims via the online filing system.<\/p>\n

Kobayashi adds that the trustee and court will not respond to direct inquiries or emailed inquiries concerning the claim process. Moreover, those who leverage the online filing system may still have to wait a bit longer as Kobayashi explained that a large number of inquiries may delay reply times.<\/p>\n
