Asset manager Mt. Gox announced the approval of a plan to return bitcoins

Creditors of the defunct bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox is one step closer to the payments due to them.

On Tuesday, the asset manager of Mt. Gox, Nobuaki Kobayashi, announced the approval of the compensation distribution plan adopted by former users in a vote last month.
"The Asset Manager would like to express his sincere gratitude for the understanding and support that led to the approval and legal validity of the civil rehabilitation plan. The asset manager will make payments according to the submitted applications in accordance with the plan," Kobayashi writes. - In a separate notification, creditors will be informed of the specific time, procedures and amounts of payments."
Mt. Gox closed in 2014 after a series of events that led to the disappearance of 850,000 bitcoins from the exchange's wallets. To compensate users, there are 141,686 BTC worth about $9 billion at the current exchange rate, as well as a comparable number of Bitcoin Cash coins.

As one of the users noted, against the background of these events, the largest jump in the volume of profit sales occurred in the bitcoin market, which exceeds the levels observed before the collapse of the exchange rate in May this year.
