Mt. Gox Announcement and Repayments

by Giorgi Kostiuk

Mt. Gox, once the leading global Bitcoin exchange, is set to provide a significant return on investment to over 20,000 creditors who lost their assets in a 2011 cyber hack. At its peak, Mt. Gox managed 80% of all dollar Bitcoin trades before a critical bug led to the loss of 950,000 BTC and subsequent bankruptcy in February 2014. Only a fraction of the losses have been recovered, leading to legal actions against the exchange. The court-appointed trustee recently announced extensive safety measures and preparations for repayments, causing a bearish sentiment in the BTC market. While creditors anticipate a remarkable 9900% ROI, concerns about a potential market crash from mass repayments have led to a 20% market decline since the announcement.
