Ongoing Asset Recovery Efforts

The asset recovery process involves moving funds to major exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken. For example, on October 24, they transferred $10 million to a single wallet address which then moved funds to Binance and Coinbase.

Creditors’ Redemption Remains to be Seen

While the collapsed companies work to pay back investors, their liabilities still far outweigh recovered assets. The saga continues as more funds are steadily transferred to major exchanges. It remains to be seen how much creditors will recoup from the ongoing asset recovery efforts.
