Key Points:
The platform, once the largest Bitcoin exchange globally, is set to distribute 142,000 BTC, 143,000 BCH, and 69 billion yen to creditors by October 31, 2024.
In a move toward the Mt. Gox distribution, the trustee has requested identity confirmation and account details from victims through digital asset exchanges. Mt. Gox’s tumultuous history began with its closure in February 2014 after a crippling hack that led to the loss of 850,000 Bitcoins.
Despite the delay, the Tokyo-based exchange is finally taking steps to initiate refunds, a process long-awaited by creditors. The confirmation of Bitcoin addresses signals progress in the Mt. Gox distribution process under the civil rehabilitation plan approved by the Tokyo District Court in 2018.
However, the journey to recovery has not been without setbacks. Some victims received double payments due to a system issue, prompting the trustee to request refunds of the excess amount.
The Mt. Gox debacle remains one of the cryptocurrency industry’s most notorious events, raising concerns about security and investor confidence. The repayment plan aims to distribute the remaining 150,000 Bitcoins to creditors, offering hope for those affected by the exchange’s collapse.
