Creditors can file claims in Mt. gox

In the settlement of the bankruptcy of Mt. Gox, creditors have until November 28 to file their claims. The bitcoin exchange ran into problems at the beginning of this year, with hundreds of thousands of bitcoins disappearing.

The bankrupt Japanese company has posted a message on its website in which the American bankruptcy trustees describe the settlement of the bankruptcy. Creditors have until November 28 to file claims for damages with the former bitcoin exchange. In addition, a meeting will be organized in Tokyo in which the financial situation should be explained in more detail. The meeting is theoretically intended for hundreds of thousands of former Mt. Gox users, who mainly traded in bitcoins.

The bitcoin exchange applied for a deferment of payment in February, after the exchange said it had lost hundreds of millions of euros in bitcoins, probably due to theft via a bug in the implementation of the bitcoin protocol. Some of the bitcoins have been recovered and these are distributed among the creditors. However, experts argue that so many bitcoins could never have been stolen through the bug.
