When Mt.Gox ceased to be the largest bitcoin exchange platform

Founded in 2010, Mt. Gox was once the largest bitcoin exchange in the world. In 2013, it handled 70% of cryptocurrency transactions globally. The platform processed 150 thousand BTC daily, with 127 thousand active users.

As CriptoNoticias reported, it was on May 15, 2013 when the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued an order to confiscate the money from the Exchange house since the platform did not have a license from the United States Financial Crime Control Network (FinCen) to operate as an intermediary. Until July of that year, DHS seized more than USD 5 million from the platform.

The end point for Mt. Gox was the grand theft that the exchange claimed to suffer in 2014. On February 24 of that year, the website went offline and, the next day, all operations were closed. Some 24 thousand users were affected by the theft of 850 thousand BTC, 7% of the bitcoins in circulation at that time.

As reported by CriptoNoticias in January of this year, Mt.Gox victims could recover part of the compensation fund of 150,000 BTC before the closing of the court case, if the signing of an agreement between the litigants of this is approved case.

The new agreement could facilitate the liquidation of savers before the current legal process ends. They could thus have access to a partial economic refund before the scheduled time.
