MtGox Creditors who filed a bankruptcy claim should have received a notification in June 2018 from the MtGox Trustee regarding the switch to civil rehabilitation proceedings.

The deadline for submitting your claim for the civil rehabilitation proceedings is October 22, 2018. This is different from the claim you may have submitted for the bankruptcy proceedings and must be done to ensure you receive a payout.

If you have only submitted a claim for the bankruptcy proceedings at this stage, then you need to submit a second claim for the rehabilitation proceedings by October 22, 2018 (Japan Standard Time).

We are working with the rehabilitation Trustee to provide payout support for Kraken clients. On October 5, 2018, Kraken executed a memorandum agreement with the rehabilitation Trustee regarding future support from Kraken. However, the details of Kraken's support have not yet been determined. You can read the announcement about the memorandum agreement here:

In September 2017, a co-operative of MtGox creditors formed in an effort to help ensure that creditors receive their share of any possible surplus funds due to appreciation in Bitcoin price. The group, calling themselves “MtGox Legal,” launched a website in October 2017 and issued a press release to explain their goal. The efforts of the group resulted in the Tokyo District Court ordering the commencement of “civil rehabilitation proceedings” that allow for a possible alternative plan to return Gox funds to creditors different from the plan under the bankruptcy proceedings already in progress.

The civil rehabilitation proceedings were ordered on June 22, 2018 and the bankruptcy proceedings were suspended at this time pending the result of the rehabilitation proceedings. If the rehabilitation proceedings arrive at an approved rehabilitation plan, this will include a plan for payouts to MtGox creditors with approved rehabilitation claims. If no rehabilitation plan is approved, then the bankruptcy proceedings will recommence. MtGox Legal has posted an outline of what they consider to be the best plan here, but any plan must be approved by the pending rehabilitation proceedings.

The original announcement of civil rehabilitation proceedings is here:

If you have not done so already, you must submit a rehabilitation claim no later than October 22, 2018 (Japan Standard Time).

There are two methods for submitting your claim — online and offline. Please refer to the rehabilitation claim Q&A that explains the two methods and includes links to instructions for both.

Note that the offline method requires that the claim form be received at the provided address by October 22.
