It's just so hard to fathom that this is a reality. Especially valuing the crypto at today's prices. It would imply that you had to somehow not touch whatever you withdrew for two years.

Absolutely insane. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen anything this immoral in finance. Everyone caught up in this should fight. I can’t see a judge siding with these criminals. Celsius is the worst exchange to ever exist.
This bankruptcy has been a complete shit show from day one. Just another example of corruption. That money will not go back to creditors but this flawed mining company
This is sick. Pure evil. First taking customer's funds to pay for their own lawyers, then give back the absolute minimum of money to users, then go after and take DOUBLE the money from unknowing regular people who just withdrew THEIR OWN money. And on top of that not even going after the insiders who withdrew? This has to be illegal. A documentary should be made about this, and really tarnish Celsius's lawyers' and Mashinsky's names for everyone to see.

So they locked creditor distribution values (dollarised) at the bear market bottom, but are valuing pre bankruptcy withdrawals at current prices? Wow...
That's not how it works. They'll get their fees but now people aren't protected like they were in bankruptcy. So those involved like the board can be held liable so they are more likely to doing what's best for creditors
just the filing fee is going to be around $1m out of the creditor's pocket and then all the lawyers involved make their share of fees from both side... even then you have creditors cheering the action of the LOC is pretty sickening, hope they know if they lose litigation this is just money thrown into fire.
“Crypto Lark” withdrew $2 million few days before bankruptcy and our money been blocked, I hope so he will pay the some money back. For everybody else I’m so sorry.
It's telling that they have no problem with your contact information and determining what your "clawback" is, while when they owe us crypto/money they run into "issues" getting that to us.
We need to thank the likes of Celsius, Voyager, Vauld and FTX if this cycle has produced the worst returns in history. Retail is GONE, Bitcoin is Wall Street business now.
This is absolutely diabolical. Imagine getting your massive chunk of money out thinking you are in the clear, tying that up in an illiquid asset like a house or something, and then Celsius suing you to get all of that money back because THEY went bankrupt...like wtf...
@@abennett No, what's diabolical is expecting 98% of the unsecured creditors to subsidize the 2% that withdrew 40% of the assets who believe well established bankruptcy law shouldn't apply to them.
@@abennett Thanks for doing this video Aaron. It seems like most are unaware of how unfair this to former customers. On top of that, you have consistently shady actions by the LOC and their counsel -- lot of bad faith and heinous manipulation of "the system" to trample on the little guy. Thanks again, and please keep at it!
The courts tell you "to bad so sad" when a company goes bankrupt and you lose everything. Celsius should not be rewarded with the money of people that got out in time too. Plus want June 2024 prices? I don't think so.
Then where the f is the reverse? I'm still waiting on distribution - likely cash at this stage. We dont get any improvement from the market increase. These people are absolute criminals
I don't understand how you are supposed to buy bitcoin if you can be clawed back 2 years later at a much higher price, plus interest and court costs. Sounds bad for business.
this is crazy. unless the claim is that funds where paid will ill gotten proceeds to retail clients. dang they must have really been upside down to claw back the retail. i am surprised there was legal standing on such a claim.
As European are we safe from celsius and FTX nowadays ? I had less than 100k, on all platforms. I did not followed the news. If I was in clawback, should I have received an email or something ? Celsius sent me the remaining 50$ I had, few weeks ago
90 days before , that’s a joke ! What are retail users supposed to be psychic and know scumbags thieves were running the company and it was going to collapse ?
There has never been a case like this ever. The logistics are silly. I think it should be classified as safe harbor. That is what it is, people who left at a port before the ship sank due to bad management. People are being punished for reading public news or just wanted to do their business someplace else. The 90 day rule was designed for B2B ventures. Not B 2 innocent retailers.
A class action against a company wasting and cruelly stressing out innocent people’s time from a an event they are not a part of that happened 2 years ago.
I have written about 30 letters pleading for my money back. Nothing! The only letter I got was that my personal details are shared due to data breach. They make me sick.
I don’t see how this is legal to sue because it would have been Celsius responsibility to cover themselves from a bank run. Plus Celsius looks so bad ,I don’t see how a court would take this seriously unless you can prove someone was an insider. There was so much public bad news reports about Celsius before the bankruptcy. Maybe I’m simple but this seems wacky.
HI Aaron, I am from Middle East right now, I was not able to open Coinbase Exchange accont. so defiantly i have not receied my funds. what is the other way and how will receive my funds??? please help me out. tthank you in advance ..
Yeah I don't understand because I had 8k in Celsius and withdrew that 1 month before bankruptcy. But I still had 2 more Bitcoins on the platform, I only get 0.25btc back beginning of the year. I trusted them but now they want my 8k(in Bitcoin value at the time x230% because Bitcoin went up)? And then compensate for my 2btc lost? This doesn't make sense
they probably would have come out ahead if they didn't pay attorneys and just let people keep the money they withdrew. Attorneys probably cost more than the money they will claw back.
Aaron do you know if there is a deadline date depositors must be served by? I am barely over the WPE threshold and hoping i never get served. But idk the chances of that.
This is going to be a different bull market. With XAI60K coming to scene. Ben basing off previous speculative markets. I can see 300,000 next bull run.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Presumably this is just a heavy handed scare tactic to claw back as much as possible?? Ask for as much as possible, but expect much less... Surely that cannot get what they are asking for. That would be mind boggling... The lawyers no doubt egging them on as they continue to mop up all the fees. Makes my blood boil. It's really unconscionable. How have the insiders not been clawed back yet?? It's just totally bizarre...
Just swapped all of my last ETH and swapped it into XAI60K. Already up a little bit. Unfortunately I have some other junk staked which won’t free up for a while. Still now I am on the train!
XAI60K stands out with its advanced blockchain technology, especially in staking and decentralization surpassing other platforms. It doesn't require a locking period, and its development focuses on peer-reviewed research for comprehensive improvement.
I don't get it. Why should someone be restricted from withdrawing their own funds? Unless it was unstaked in violation of an agreement? What is the justification, all I'm hearing is "you were lucky now you're not". Makes zero sense.
Wrong. Cam Crews is doing what's right by the vast majority of unsecured creditors. 2% of users withdrew a whopping 40% of the platform's asset 90 days prior to the bankruptcy, sticking the 98% with the bill. Furthermore, a clawback plan was proposed as part of the bankruptcy proceedings and approved by the judge. This is not news, it's not shocking information, and it is well established in 100 years of bankruptcy law. Your ignorance and arrogance is not going to change that.
Legal and illegal do not equate to right and wrong. Just because it is legal does not make it right. Cam and the loan ad hoc group have been aggressively self interested throughout this whole process. He gives 2 f’s about your 98%.
institutional buying into XAI60K could totally break the cycle and the peak expectation of end of 2025 will likely spectacularly fail to appear. If the last double peak was odd, the next one will catch most people out again.
The lack of any guarantee the recovered funds will go back to creditors is scary. These lawyers are being paid almost as much as they're recovering. This system needs an overhaul. I'm also seeing new components asking for more than 2x original WPE. The requeates $ amount at this second is far higher than the the dollar value of the crypto on the markets. This seems like punishment. It seems like the LOC and ASK loves to change the terms whenever it benefits them the most.
Immoral strategy. While Alex and his gang was preaching HODL to community and he HODL ed our decentralized assets, when are they going after these real scammers
