BlockFi Creditors Push for Chapter 11 Trustee Amid Allegations of Fraud and Broken Promises

June 28 (Cointime) - BlockFi's Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors has filed a court document calling for a Chapter 11 trustee to be appointed, exclusivity periods to be terminated, or the cases to be converted to Chapter 7 proceedings. The UCC claims that BlockFi customers do not have a clear understanding of what happened, which is "facilitating case mischief."

The UCC also alleges that BlockFi's former CEO, Zac Prince, perpetrated a fraud on customers and that debtors broke their promises by liquidating nearly $240 million in customers' crypto. The court could also convert the case to a Chapter 7 case, allowing for the liquidation of a debtor's nonexempt property and the distribution of the proceeds to creditors.

Ardoino said that an uninformed CEO leading a company under SEC investigation launched a competitive stablecoin (cui prodest), spreading fear about USDT. Ardoino emphasized Tether's critical role in providing financial services to unbanked communities in emerging and developing regions, which are often overlooked by traditional financial institutions. He further asserted that Tether adheres to strict transparency and regulatory compliance standards, as evidenced by its compliance with the OFAC/SDN list, its partnership with Chainalysis, and its extensive collaboration with international law enforcement agencies to detect and prevent illegal activities, thereby enhancing the security of its ecosystem.
