Former CIO of Arcane Assets, Eric Wall, commented on rumors about Nobuaki Kobayashi, Mt. Gox rehabilitation trustee, all set to distribute 137,000 $BTC on August 28. The rumor certainly didn’t help the crypto market going through bearish trends or the prices of Bitcoin.
Around ten years ago, Mt. Gox imploded with hundreds of thousands of bitcoins. Nobuaki Kobayashi announced on July 6 that he is making arrangements to do repayments to creditors following a long legal procedure dealing with funds recovered from the exchange.
The report also mentions that Kobayashi gave ‘the end of August in the documentation at that time as the reference period around when initial payments could start.
The Rehabilitation Trustee intends to set the Assignment after conducting discussions with the Court and in compliance with the Rehabilitation Plan. Restriction Reference Period from August end this year till part of the repayments or all are transacted as initial repayments are done for safe and secure Repayments.
Miles Deutscher, a crypto investor, and analyst, also said that 137,000 Mt. Gox 1,37,000 bitcoins are being released on August 28. Eric Wall, one of the Mt. Gox creditors, a few hours later explained why Bitcoin traders should not pay heed to the rumor and advised them to block everyone on Twitter who is spreading them.
Wall further said that you can’t even register on which exchange you want your BTC & BCH sent yet. Payouts will happen in tranches. Still, some people are choosing their claim to Fortress. There is also no official timeline. He also said he is not selling since prices do not seem to be attractive to sell currently, adding that he would be buying instead of selling.
Even if Deutscher is right, Mt.GOX Creditors will receive 137K BTC on August 28. However, it doesn’t mean that due to this the $BTC price will immediately crash, explains Josh Rager today.
