Voyager Digital Customer Data Reportedly Hacked During Bankruptcy Proceedings

Former clients of Voyager Digital, the bankrupt cryptocurrency lender that collapsed in 2022, may have had their personal information compromised during the company's lengthy bankruptcy proceedings. According to Tree News, customer details were leaked. Voyager was one of the high-profile victims of the terraUSD (UST) crash, which was the first major domino to fall during crypto's nightmare year. Following 3AC's failure to repay the loans, Voyager suspended "trading, deposits, withdrawals, and loyalty rewards" on July 1, and the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection just four days later.

Customers will only recover about 35% of their cryptocurrency deposits as the company winds down its operations after a failed buyout attempt by crypto exchange Binance.US. Voyager’s bankruptcy case was complicated by two failed sale attempts during the bankruptcy process. The company intends to repay customers with the same type of cryptocurrency that they had in their accounts, but for deposits held in unsupported cryptocurrencies and for Voyager’s proprietary VGX token, Voyager will instead repay customers using the Circle’s stablecoin USDC.

Voyager Digital Provides Update on Reimbursement Plan for Creditors

Voyager Digital, the now-defunct crypto lender, has informed creditors that they can expect to receive their initial cash and crypto distributions "within the next few weeks." This update comes after Binance's withdrawal from the Voyager Digital deal on April 25. Voyager Digital has been navigating the bankruptcy process in the Southern District of New York to reimburse creditors after Binance US backed out of the deal. Voyager Digital says that it is making progress and is finalizing everything internally to make distributions to creditors. However, parties will have ten full days to object to the plan, and if an objection is filed, the court will hold a hearing to consider the objection before the plan can go into effect. The news of Voyager Digital's plan to reimburse creditors has been met with mixed reactions.
