Les clients de Mt Gox enfin remboursés après une décennie d’attente

After nearly a decade of waiting, clients of the infamous Mt Gox platform are finally set to receive their long-awaited compensation in the form of Bitcoins. Following the platform’s bankruptcy in February 2014 due to a massive hack that saw 850,000 bitcoins stolen, former clients have been eagerly anticipating their refunds.

The trustee in charge of the crypto exchange’s liquidation has announced that the first payments of both BTC and BCH (Bitcoin Cash) will be made in less than two weeks. This marks a significant milestone in the ongoing saga that has kept users in limbo for years.

Since the announcement of settlements in fiat currency (Japanese yen) at the end of 2023, clients have been eagerly awaiting the redistribution of their digital assets. The administrator responsible for the rehabilitation, Nobuaki Kobayashi, made the announcement on the Mt Gox website on June 24, 2024, informing users that the refunds will begin in early July 2024.

In a meticulous process, the liquidators have been coordinating with crypto exchanges to confirm the final details needed to release the funds. The refunds will be processed in the order of confirmation from these exchanges, ensuring a safe and reliable repayment process for the creditors.

A total of 142,000 BTC and 143,000 BCH, valued at billions of dollars, will be distributed over the coming months. The liquidators have set a deadline of October 31, 2024, to complete all repayments to the affected clients of Mt Gox.

This news brings a sense of closure to a chapter that has dragged on for years, offering hope and relief to the users who have patiently awaited the return of their lost assets.
