The Latest


July 23, 2024 - The outstanding issues preventing the Plan effective date are resolved and distributions are imminent.

A brief amendment to the Plan Support Agreement is being circulated to signatories this week to address differences among crypto creditor groups regarding in-kind recovery.

The tentative distribution window is currently estimated to be August 2nd - August 12th. However, we must emphasize that these dates are not confirmed and subject to change.

While we do not directly control these dates, we actively work to influence the process, applying the pressure necessary to expedite the recovery of your funds from Genesis.

Our aim is to ensure your voice is heard throughout this process.

Your recovery value remains unaffected; the 100% recovery is still secure.

We will provide further updates when there is concrete, actionable information to share.

Important: Please be aware that Donut, Genesis, and Kroll *will never text you* regarding the Genesis bankruptcy.
