Claims of Mt.Gox lenders will be redeemed for $ 900 for Bitcoin

Investors of the bankrupt Mt.Gox cryptocurrency exchange will be able to receive $ 900 for each bitcoin left by them on the floor. About readiness to make the appropriate payments stated investment group Fortress. It is reported by CoinDesk , citing a letter from the managing director of the company, Michael Horigan.

“As a general rule, we can offer $ 900 for bitcoin or approximately 200% of its value at the rate at the time of bankruptcy ($ 451). The payment can be made in Bitcoin or any fiat currency of your choice, ”said Horigan.

The cost of $ 900 Horigan called "fair for both Fortress and investors." At the moment, it is about 7% of the current market price of Bitcoin, trading at $ 12,300.

It is noteworthy that the former head of the group of creditors of Mt.Gox, Andy Pag, previously sold his share of an unnamed company for $ 600 per Bitcoin.

We add that currently Mt.Gox lenders are waiting for the completion of the civilian rehabilitation of the exchange to receive payments not in fiat equivalent at the rate at the close of the trading floor, but in bitcoins.

Recall that in June, a billionaire from the Forbes list, Brock Pierce, in an exclusive interview with BlockchainJournal magazine, told about plans to return funds to Mt.Gox customers.
