Gox was one of the largest exchanges in the world during the early days of crypto. However, a 2011 hack and the exchange\u2019s subsequent collapse in early 2014 affected nearly 24,000 creditors \u2014 mainly those holding cryptocurrency. These events resulted in the loss of 850,000 Bitcoin (BTC), roughly $460 million at the time and $45.8 billion at the time of publication.<\/p>\n<p>Japanese courts originally approved a petition for the exchange to begin civil rehabilitation for Mt. Gox creditors in June 2018. This deadline was repeatedly extended, citing reasons including \u201cmatters that require closer examination with regard to the rehabilitation plan.\u201d The Tokyo District Court accepted the current draft of the rehabilitation plan in December 2020 and issued an order\u00a0in February allowing creditors\u00a0to vote on it.<\/p>\n<p>Following this week\u2019s voting deadline, creditors are expected to attend a meeting on the resolution of the compensation plan on Oct. 20. They will reportedly have the option to proceed by voting online, by written statement, or in person on the day of the meeting. <\/p>\n<p>Under the proposed draft, former Mt. Gox users who held crypto or fiat on the platform will have their claims honored should the rehabilitation plan become effective. Funds will be allocated toward the rehabilitation proceedings first, with creditors receiving funds thereafter. <\/p>\n<p>If successful, aggrieved Bitcoiners will receive compensation more than ten years following the initial hack on Mt. Gox. Nobuaki Kobayashi, the lawyer appointed to oversee the civil reimbursement process, reportedly has 150,000 BTC to repay users.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want my coins back,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/th3wise0ld0wl\/status\/1443869139727118336\">said<\/a> Twitter user th3wise0ld0wl, who claimed to be one of the Mt.
