Crypto platform Mt. Gox filed for bankruptcy in 2014. At least 650,000 bitcoins were lost. At the time they had a value of approximately 1000 euros each. The curator managed to recover approximately 200,000 coins. Since the bankruptcy, creditors have been given the option to opt for a recovery plan that would allow them to regain part of the value of their bitcoins on the platform. It was also possible to choose to wait for the lawsuits, after which the payout could be slightly higher. Curator Nobuaki Kobayashi arrived in November this year according to Reddit users stating that creditors who have enrolled in the rehabilitation process can expect repayments.
