"Money received as USD into an HSBC currency account and looks like zero fees,” one individual claiming to be a Mt. Gox creditor wrote on Monday.

In September 2023, the trustee of the now-defunct exchange announced that creditors would be reimbursed with 142,000 bitcoin and 143,000 bitcoin cash, as well as fiat currency totaling 69 billion Japanese yen ($510 million), by a new deadline of October 2024.
