Report by MtGOX's bankruptcy trustee, 2015-09-09[ scroll to the end of the document for the English translation ]The status of the bankruptcy claims filed as of the end of August 2015 is as follows: Number of bankruptcy creditors: 24,704 Total amount of the bankruptcy claims filed: JPY 2,663,398,225,570 (of which the amount of the claims filed by the three largest creditors amounted to JPY 2,533,517,211,285)
That is 2.6 trillion yen. Dividing by 120 to get USD, we get about 21 billion USD, of which 20 billion USD are the top 3 claims.
It would be REALLY interesting to know who are those top 3 claimants who believe that they are entitled to receive twice the entire bitcoin market cap -- each. If those three claims stand, they will take 95% of the spoils, and the other 24,701 claimants will divide the other 5%.
It would be fun to watch.
Unfortunately that is not decided yet:
September 9, 2015 was the date set for the investigation of claims. However, as stated in 3. below, as I am still investigating whether or not the BTC and currencies disappeared and if they have, the background behind such disappearance, as well as the accurate balance of the account held by each user of the MtGox exchange, I have neither approved nor disapproved any of the bankruptcy claims yet. Therefore, I decided to extend the date for the investigation of the claims filed by the exchange-user creditors to the date of the next creditors’ meeting.
But at least
Robert Marie Mark Karpeles was arrested on August 1, 2015 on suspicion of unauthorized creation and use of private electromagnetic records and on August 21, 2015 on suspicion of corporate embezzlement, respectively, and is currently under detention.
