US-based crypto financial platform Cred has filed for bankruptcy protection on the 7th of November 2020.

The action recently sparked customers' questions on how to get their money.

Major Updates

  • Cryptocurrency exchange, Cred files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
  • Cred claims they are doing it for the benefit of their clients.
  • Customers are worried because their transactions are being suspended.
  • Cred is yet to address its customers on the new development officially.

Based on court documents, the bankruptcy was filed by the CEO legal team on the 7th of November 2020.

The company stated an estimated asset of $50M-$100M and an estimated liabilities of $100M-$500M. Cred noted that its action was to improve its worth for its customers.

This action comes after a statement released on the 28th of October, stating that it will stop fund flow for 14 days.

However, the firm explained that the suspension wasn't because of fraud investigations, but it is cooperating with authorities to look into the handling of certain funds.

Cred stated that clients' information and accounts were intact despite the incident but yet to provide an update on assets.

Users on Twitter stated that they want to be sure about their assets' safety, pleading that the platform addresses this in the next update.

Cryptocurrency withdrawals are still suspended on the OKex since the 16th of October due to rumors that the CEO is in police custody.

Once a person or business files for bankruptcy, you have to stop any and all collection activity. If you make contact to try to get your money back, you will violate the bankruptcy code and you can actually be sued. Even if you filed a lawsuit against the client, it gets stayed until the bankruptcy is completed. You can, however, contact the attorney or court appointed trustee to work out an arrangement on how your debt is handled in the bankruptcy,

them filling for Bankruptcy protection is a nice move to protect customers assets and they should allow withdrawal of funds for their users, they need access to their funds.

I think the customer of Okex needs to be addressed as soon as possible to keep them assured that their assets are still intact even after the 14 days of stoping fund flow.

Even if bankruptcy proceedings ongoing is in the best interest of the investors, don't they deserve to have the progress report as the event unfolds?
