Judecătorul de faliment Celsius ordonă restituirea a 50 de milioane de dolari în activele utilizatorilor

Chief bankruptcy judge of the Southern District of New York Martin Glenn has ordered failed crypto lender Celsius Network to return cryptocurrency worth $50 million back to its customers.

Glenn delivered the order during a hearing on Wednesday and applies to an estimated $44 million worth of crypto held in custody accounts that belong to Celsius users, and not the company.

Coins involved in transfers under $7,500 from interest bearing accounts to custody accounts were also ordered to be returned, a little over $11 million worth of crypto fell into that group, acte de judecată spectacol. 

The $50 million is just the tip of the iceberg, as it is estimated that the fallen crypto lender owes over $4.7 billion pentru utilizatorii săi.

“I want this case to move forward,” Glenn said in a hearing raportat pentru prima dată de Bloomberg. “I want creditors to recover as much as they possibly can as soon as they possibly can.”

The majority of the collapsed lenders assets are cryptoassets in interest bearing accounts, and it is possible that Celsius could claim ownership of those assets based on rules around transferuri preferenţiale. The decisions on the future of these assets has yet to be made. 

În conformitate cu previous declaration filings, Celsius had $5.5 billion in liabilities and $4.3 billion in assets — leaving it with at least $1.3 billion in shortfall, though the actual hole may be larger.

Celsius first filed for bankruptcy in July this year after the collapse of Singaporean-based hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which failed to repay loans twice after the collapse of the Terra ecosystem.

Its bankruptcy proceedings are costing the fallen company a small fortune. Financial advisory firm for debtors Alvarez & Marsal North America asked to be paid $2.3 million — 80% of the total compensation sought — for its services between July 14 and Aug. 31.
