Crypto lender BlockFi granted 48-day extension for bankruptcy exit plan submission by New Jersey bankruptcy judge.
BlockFi, a lender of digital assets, was given additional time to submit a bankruptcy exit plan by a New Jersey bankruptcy judge in the United States on April 19.in November 2022 and has been reportedly granted a 48-day extension until May 15 to file an exit plan. The crypto firm is exploring a potential sale of company assets or the possibility of getting an outside backer to support a restructuring deal, BlockFi lawyer Joshua Sussberg said in a hearing Wednesday.
According to the bankruptcy code, debtors are expected to propose a Chapter 11 plan within the first 120 days of filing. Thus, BlockFi has been required to present a plan by March 27. However, on March 21, the company filed aBlockFi’s lawyers said in defense of the request to prolong the deadline, “much work remains” due to the scale and complexity of the Chapter 11 cases. The company is estimated to owe up to $10 billion to over 100,000 creditors.
A committee of BlockFi customers argued they should be allowed to take control of the bankruptcy case so cryptocurrency held on the platform can be returned to creditors immediately. Committee lawyer Robert Stark told Kaplan that BlockFi creditors aren’t sophisticated lenders but individual mom-and-pop retail customers, “many of whom have lost their life savings,” according to reports.
According to Sussberg, the length of the extension was “modest,” and he stated that the company would have a plan ready for unsecured creditors to evaluate within two weeks.
