Mt. Gox creditors accept a rebate of $ 1.3 billion in BCH, BTC, No Altcoin, by summer 2019

The civil rehabilitation plan, a legal maneuver short of formal bankruptcy within the Japanese system, it was updated in August, relating to the Mt. Gox and making the victims whole. In a recently published announcement, lenders reviewed the policy to better reflect feedback from the previous iteration.

Revision includes as reimbursement Formal to the victims will be in bitcoin cash (BCH) and bitcoin core (BTC) through existing accounts on various newly opened pre-approved stock exchanges or accounts. "We think it is desirable that BTC and BCH be sent to exchanges where many creditors have accounts or can easily open accounts," the creditors clarified.

Another sticky problem apparently solved, at least for now, is the legal paper, in cash. Gox still holds residual liquidity from previous sales and creditors want it to be repaid first to those calling "money lenders".

168,000 in BCH and 160,000 in BTC

Alternative currencies to BCH or BTC are no longer considered in the creditors' repayment scheme. Several selections of alts, their infamous volatility, have conspired against their use in this matter. Creditors describe the notion as "unrealistic". Even the real would be such a landfill on larger, higher-end markets. "There is a possibility that the sale of altcoin by the trustee causes a sudden drop in the price of altcoins and security problems may arise if the trustee transfers the altcoins, so the trustee should proceed with the sale of altcoins with a & # 39; careful consideration of these issues ", Gox creditors insisted.

details on how to 168,000 cash bitcoins and 160,000 in bitcoins co combined with the "derivatives" of Gox will be paid by the trustee, summer of next year, assuming that the rehabilitation is formally approved (which seems probable). The general resolution plan appears to be delayed, and is therefore suspected of being submitted by mid-February next year. Depending on the price, of course, payments could be worth well over $ 1 billion, similar to $ 1.3 billion at the time of writing.

Mt. Gox was at one point the most popular bitcoin exchange in the world, accounting for a large majority of BTC's volume just four years ago. In the end it failed after 744,000 bitcoin cores disappeared. Creditors have spent years trying to recover losses. Last year, they asked Japanese bankruptcy officials to allow the case to be resolved in civil rehabilitation. The court eventually granted the request for the summer of this year. The trustee, Nobuaki Kobayashi, held over 200,000 bitcoins, liquidating about 30,000 by the spring. The rehabilitation plan under Mr. Kobayashi will not have to liquidate assets like BCH and BTC in the future. Creditors will be formally informed of the complaint procedures most likely this month.
