Decade-old claims are being paid off in an unexpected turn of events for the creditors of the long-dead cryptocurrency exchange platform, Mt. Gox. The exchange, infamous for its downfall due to insolvency, had left its creditors waiting for their due payments. This wait has seemingly finished for those who had elected PayPal as their preferred payment method, with various Reddit threads indicating they have begun receiving their claims, in terms of Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH), converted into Japanese Yen (JPY).
Among those vocal about their received payments is Mat Phillips, a user in the Mt. Gox insolvency subreddit, who revealed that he has received 30,283 JPY (approximately $212) out of his total claim of 106,502 JPY (about $747) into his PayPal account. The Reddit community has assured Phillips and others like him that the rest of the payments would follow suit in due time. A curious incident of double payments has also been reported, leading to queries about how the trustee would resolve this issue. The payments have greatly surprised and reassured the creditors, who had begun to lose hope of ever recovering their claims, particularly considering how the final deadline for repayment had been postponed again and again, with the current deadline set for October 2024.
