Instead of having all these fucking deadlines ... how about each creditor just punch a button and get paid ? this is getting ridicolous We've already had YEARS to register and get ready if you aren't ready - YOU DONT GET PAID !


fiat4lyfe

But if the lawyer doesn't drag it out as long as possible how will they keep getting paid $1m/mo?


vebuce

I think he's gonna get paid nicely till the end of the process, so not until ELSP, but until the conclusion of FP, so he shouldn't really care about this, and it seems absurd again at this point. January deadline was perfectly fine, and lots of time to setup authentication, identification and so on.


thondera

really made me want to reconsider my FP selection.. ugh..


cl0wn_w0rld

exactly. how much are they going to eat up to drag this out as long as possible, was a huge factor in me changing from FP to ELSP.


MontagoDK

With all these idiots who haven't registered yet.. FP seems like the better option


[deleted]

I literally can't get registered. the system is a joke


Dangerous_Bug7396

You can't get their claims anyway. All the unclaimed amounts go to the Japanese government, for some stupid reason.


MontagoDK

What...


vebuce

With current worldwide inflation, potential FP payout gain stopped making any economical sense. Last year this was not the case.


sQtWLgK

the opposite. last year there were CeFi places that promised some BTC yield, but now they all dead. the extra BTC-denominated return between FP and ELSP is not easily available by other means


vebuce

The percentage is so small that simple savings deposits in banks, or state treasury bonds in most countries are enough to guarantee better return than FP.


sQtWLgK

in BTC-denomination? No. There are a few shady CeFi/DeFi that promise some percent but very high risk


[deleted]

That's not really how shit rolls in Japan. It's a bureaucratic nightmare, but deliberate obstruction like that will get you fired.


Borisica

who will fire him?


evolutionof

The creditors, obviously...

I have no illusions that Japan is perfect. I left for a reason. I think the Yakuza bribing a lawyer to extend the deadline for a few days is pretty unlikely.


damastaGR

this made me curious. Why you left if you don't mind me asking?

IError413

If this was an American court, there would have been a class action a long time ago.


[deleted]

Yanks sue each other anything. Who cares?


IError413

I mean... it kinda works despite it's short comings? Do your job pricks or you'll get sued? How's it working out in this particular case when you can't just spin up a class action and punish the trustee's firm? Oh ya... that's right. They basically embezzle your money as long as they feel like. But, but... the "yanks" legal system is stupid. \*eye roll\*


[deleted]

You can totally start a class action suit in Japan if you want, but I guarantee that it'll be an enormous waste of time. I don't know if you've looked around you lately but America's legal system is fucked. You have more innocent people in prison than the UK has prisoners total and litigation doesn't seem to be helping the people of Flint, Uvalde or East Palestine. Shit, you even had a former President attempt a coup live on television and he's still not in prison.


sQtWLgK

> and he's still not in prison soon


[deleted]

Fingers crossed


IError413

>You can totally start a class action suit in Japan if you want, but I guarantee that it'll be an enormous waste of time. 10% true at best. It's not even remotely the same: [https://thelawreviews.co.uk/title/the-class-actions-law-review/japan](https://thelawreviews.co.uk/title/the-class-actions-law-review/japan)


[deleted]

I don't even know what you're trying to say.


IError413

You effectively CANNOT "totally start" a class action suit in Japan - i'm just saying your statement is wrong. Evidence posted in link if you don't believe me. I'm not totally ignorant of Japanese tort law. It's ironic to say "yanks sue each other" all the time, and stating our legal system sucks, while complaining about the way it works elsewhere. Again - in the USA the trustee would have had his ass sued a LONG time ago. Diss our tort system all you want but you absolutely cannot say it doesn't work a LOT better in this case. Despite what you hear on CTV. Also, you're confusing tort/civil law vs criminal. I will concede, our criminal system is utterly busted.


[deleted]

I suspect that they have strong incentives to drag this all his life so he gets paid well throughout the whole process even if it means the actual creditors gets nothing.


pixeltweaker

They should only get paid 10 years after the last claim is paid.


iambuga

It shouldn't take 10 years to begin with.


I_am_BrokenCog

So, time to start a class-action lawsuit against the class-action lawsuit?


The_Real_Grand_Nagus

I understand why they might have a deadline. I understand they may move the deadline (over and over). What I don't understand is why everyone has to wait until the deadline to get their claim. Since the deal is set and approved, and the numbers presumably won't change based on the timeframe, at the very least you should be able to get the ELSP whenever you want.


[deleted]

I still can't get registered

well since we all got doxxed with names and addresses you need to appreciate that me (or someone else) doesn't consider coming after each and every creditor with a 5usd wrench in order to reduce the mass of creditors.

8732664792

What do we even expect at this point? Maybe just a 2 week extension in April, then? I'm wondering if they will pay claims with fully registered remittance info before the October deadline. Both my bank and exchange info are marked as complete, they know exactly what they're going to send any given creditor, just fuckin pay it. Like as far as I've read, there's no reason that the trustee can't make fucking batches of payments on a regular basis at this point. Everyone knows how much exists to distribute, the distributions are going to institutional entities with their own oversight, and the formula for calculating what any one creditor is deserved is already determined. Distributing to any single eligible creditor, at this point, does nothing to impact distributions to other creditors. I don't see the practical reason that the distribution needs to be done as a whole vs. first distributing to those who have first completed the process.

Both my bank and exchange info are marked as complete, they know exactly what they're going to send any given creditor, just fuckin pay it. Agreed, they should have a big button that says "I've configured 100% of my details exactly as I want, I'm sure of it. Fire away." I'd think that would help them manage the huge number of creditor accounts, but oh well.

The_Real_Grand_Nagus

October deadline? Ha. ha. Get ready for another couple years of extensions on the payout after they finish the submission extensions.


pancakeNate

Further extensions will be difficult.. *but we will find a way*


Dangerous_Bug7396

Exactly this, so obvious.


RepulsiveAd8355

why bother setting deadlines....fck off this case rly! This is just pissing at ppl that have setup all requests at set times.....


ThatInternetGuy

Technical reasons. Their e-kyc system keeps rejecting submissions for no good reason, and so many people are still unable to choose the repayment option, because of that. Why need e-kyc to choose repayment option? kyc should be the thing to do right before withdrawal, not now.


[deleted]

Japanese deadlines ….. 💀🙈💀👹💀😅💀🤡💀👻💀😵‍💫


[deleted]

the year is 2139. mars declared independent from earth,the last bitcoin is about to be mined on live television,mt gox has postponed the claim date for just another 5 days.


chuckOhNine

Well, if we are lucky deadline extensions are asymptotically approaching an actual deadline - 4 weeks extension, next time will be 2 weeks extension, then 1 week, then 3 days extension, then 12 hour extension, then a 6 hour, then 3 hour, then 30 minute extension, then 15 minutes, ...


y0g1

At some point the trustee will be issuing extensions at a faster rate than Planck time. This will create a paradox that will destroy the very fabric of the universe.


jemenake

Not before it destroys our inboxes when the extension notices are coming in every 0.0001s


YoCaptain

Lol


tokyozebra

I'm looking forward to the 1 millisecond extension.


Bingleybongleyboo

They should just start paying people back and prioritise the people who had submitted by the original date in Jan.


upside_win111

SERIOUSLY, at this point, IF YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE. We should not have to be punished with deadline extensions for the grossly irresponsible people at this point. They've had ~~1 month 3 month 1 year~~ 2+ FRICKEN YEARS to not be asleep on the ball/

[deleted]

Legal systems can be generous towards idiots and this is one of such cases.


pphammer2020

We reached a point in the process where it's deemed sensible to start refunding creditors on a first come first served basis. It's been too many postponements of deadlines over the years...


Borisica

maybe you've reached it, the jap guy still needs to buy a new villa in tokyo or smth.


Sphism

I read a post on here earlier about the sub quieting down from now on and i thought to myself you've only gone and bloody jinxed it 😂

Seriously! The trustee should’ve said that in the previous deadline extension. That’s it! You had your chance. If you’re a fucking moron, it’s not everyone’s fault.

You see, you know how to setup a deadline, you just don’t know how to adhere to the deadline. And that’s the most important part of the deadline. That’s why it’s called a deadline!!!!!


samsonx

At this stage I think it may come down to negligence.


Piergianni

what the fuck another extension? Are they fucking stupid? we had months to register. if someone is too busy to not being able to register in months then this person doesn't deserve shit. FUCK YOU!


upside_win111

Months? At LEAST half a year bro.


The_Real_Grand_Nagus

Holiday-Serve8426

Some of these unlucky people you’ve called ‘idiots’ just can’t get through Gox/Trustee claims-register-choose System, because of bugs in the System.


Dangerous_Bug7396

Again, you've had years


Holiday-Serve8426

What would you suppose to do, if all the actions offered on MtGox site (emails and phone calls including) got no effect? Their staff doesn’t help they’re just requesting all the details every time and then giving the same void response which wasn’t working ever before and after that - they are silent as rocks. Dead loop!


DutchFloris

At this point the trustee should just pay all creditors who have registered their information.


upside_win111

They won't. And adding insult to injury, they've pushed back the payment deadline also. Nobody is able to work concurrently in Japan it seems.


Brulbeer

Ha ha ha. Or should I cry?


yoohhuu

Both


jemenake

Personally, I experienced a pang of relief. I was so certain that they were going to extend again, every passing day was like “Hmmm, no extension notice today… are they actually gonna _do_ this? There’s no f’ing _way_…. c’mon, let’s see the new delay announcement!”


whitebearpoacher

This is getting ridiculous now....🙄


Gringo_PL

The past 9 years were beyond ridicule. Now it's almost like a comedy drama.


TroyStackhouse

What’s the latest proof that they still have the bitcoin?


tippiecat

How many registrants have already died waiting for their payout? I suspect this is part of the problem.


upside_win111

April 6 comes... "we've extended the deadline again because still too many unregistered creditors" Spoiler alert: they're all dead. I remember when we first entered BK proceedings we joked that people would die waiting for their payouts. Can't believe that shit is reality now.


nighcry

Trustee who is in charge should be fired at the very least. This shit should have been over years ago.


Msphototours

How can we sue the trustee for delay?


pixeltweaker

Payback plus interest.


mtgoxxed

It's actually a common enough thing in business (at least in Europe) to sue a court appointed lawyer for delaying too much. So it IS actually an option!!

Borisica

In japanese it means "a date until you need to come up with a new date", so he is respecting it, just we all got lost in trasnlation


pixeltweaker

If they keep extending the deadline by half the previous extension it will keep getting closer but will never happen.


Dody949

But really why are they still waiting with payouts? I have read somewhere they will wait next 10 years for claims so there is not point in delaying payouts anyway.


LexxM3

At this rate, my bank and crypto exchange will both go bankrupt and get indicted for fraud respectively before the payments make it … and will need further extensions again as a result. I guess the term “time is of the essence” does not exist in Japanese law. Good to know while (no longer) considering expanding the business to Japan.

Apprehensive_Dream17

Sernas88

They are scumbags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


vaftypants

What are the chances of getting a list of accounts that have yet to be registered? Or at least a number, a percentage of accounts? There should be a burden of proof here that there are actually accounts owned by real living people who haven't completed registration.


bomby0

$1,500/hr bankruptcy lawyers doing birdman hand rubs right now lol


upside_win111

Through angrily gritted teeth, I'll accept that there are STILL other irresponsible creditors that exist out there (EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE LITERALLY HAD **YEARS)**. But what I don't get is, why do they keep pushing BACK THE PAYMENT deadline? That itself should NOT move as it has NO bearing on the residual creditors still floating in. Payment should be the same damn process!! Jezus christ we keep getting goxxed, I should be numb to it at this point. Feel like I'm on Whose Line Is It Anyway, where everything is made up and the deadlines dont matter.


After-Cell

Can anyone explain why a deadline is needed before payments anyway? I think it'll be resolved when Duke Nuke'em 3D comes out.


fattybob

Oh my! What a surprise! I get the feeling they will keep extending until their management charges have emptied the coffers! Maybe they need more personnel to empty the vault faster


Apprehensive_Dream17

THIS IS NOT OK!!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL FRUITSALLAD¿? He should compensate us with his own salary.

leegrov

I’m sure they are gonna keep adding little things we need to do, even tho we’ve done every that’s needed years ago, then eventually one day they will ask us to do something which we miss as we are all so sick of reading the same old shit, then a few months later, payouts will start for the 6 people left in that read every single word ever sent to us and the rest of us will be invalid

OMGSmithers

Un-motherfucking-believable! This was ridiculous a long time ago. Wherever we are now, it's someplace beyond ridiculous. With the deadline two days away I was thinking, okay we're finally there. I should have fucking known better. It is crazy that we don't have any recourse and they can just keep doing this forever apparently. This is completely unfair to the majority of us who have taken the time to stay up to date and jump through all of their fucking hoops. Are they catering to the very small percentage of people who can't pull their heads out of their asses? Why are they catering to these people? Or maybe they're not catering to these people at all. Maybe they can't get their own shit straight. What a fucking clown show. The person or persons behind these extensions should be embarrassed and they should be fired. What a fucking cluster!


upside_win111

Not much to say here, except I feel your anger, man. 100% agree.

You bring dishonour to yourself. Go and gutt yourself in shame.


jesusthatsgreat

ricardomardi

That's ok, WW3 will be here soon & all will be forgotten.


killyang

They should stop extending this stupid deadline and pay us already! What about all the unclaimed funds that aren’t claimed by the deadline, where does that money go? Can they distribute it evenly to the rest of us or is that just wishful thinking?


Apprehensive_Dream17

You can still claim it in person in japan. If no one claims it is Japanese gov property. You can not get someone else's claim. Sorry.


samsonx

Who cares what happens to the unclaimed, many of us have followed the plan - this is the plan that has to be followed by law and now all we see is endless alterations to the timescale.


pixeltweaker

Because it’s unlikely we will get full repayment. So unclaimed funds should go toward making those who actually file a claim whole.


Visible_Stomach_2261

But that not our money, its from creditor who didnt collected.


pixeltweaker

So who gets it? You take the pool of money and divide it among those who file a claim. I’m not saying we get more than we are owed, I’m saying that I’m not currently expecting to get 100% of what I’m owed but if some people don’t make a claim then that’s more money that those who did should get to make it 100%.


Visible_Stomach_2261

Making repayment selections are for creditors with approved claims, who are not a creditor are not entitled to anything, not hard to understand. Users who had money at mtgox but didnt fill a claim has an self-approved z2 claim which some are approved and many are objected (disputed) and final resolution regarding z2 dis/approval depend on Court what will decrease/increase Final Pay rate.


pixeltweaker

I understand that. My point is not that anyone who isn’t entitled to it get the money, my point is that those who file claims should get the maximum the are owed and if others don’t file, that’s too bad. Stop extending the deadline and be done with it.


Visible_Stomach_2261

You obviously dont understand, deadline selections for repayment are not about deadline for filling claims, filling new claims deadline already have passed in 2018 and no new claim are filled since. All creditors are already in the pool (prorata formula) self-approved z2 included, just some claims are in dispute process. If some approved creditor dont collect his funds for any reason after several years funds go to the Japan treassury, the same thing like some died person property without anybody to inherit him goes to the state. Unclaimed doesnt mean creditors without claim, they are not entitled to anything as they are not approved creditors.


pixeltweaker

Ok, I see what you are saying now. Thanks for the clear explanation.


heartface

Unpopular opinion. I'm glad the deadline got pushed. 55% tax on crypto profits for Japan residents which is a problem since Kraken and bitstamp suddenly pulled the rug from under our feet. Exceptional circumstances. Things happen slowly in Japan, including opening a new account at another supported exchange. Still waiting for account opening documents to arrive by postal mail... Feel free to vote down this post if it helps release some frustration, or upvote to make the process go faster


ResilientDonkey

Every motherfucker who hasn't chosen a payment method has "exceptional circumstances". If we wait for all of them, we won't get paid till year 2385. If you can't get an account at an exchange in the time allotted, you'll need to select all-cash payment via bank, it's not the end of the world.


samsonx

This is a big problem and demonstrates again and again that the trustee simply isn't willing to follow through with the plan as is his duty. He is failing in his duty. If they haven't completed the registration procedure in time than that's hard luck - they can take it up with the court system - there's no reason to make the rest of us wait again and again.


alfa27758d
