Mt. Gox：世界最大比特币交易所的兴衰

Mt. Gox——“Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange”的缩写，是加密世界中最早的加密货币交易所之一。

Defunct cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox has announced its latest repayment plan for creditors, finally set to begin distributing the remaining Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) holdings.

已停业的加密货币交易所 Mt. Gox 宣布了其最新的债权人还款计划，最终将开始分配剩余的比特币 (BTC) 和比特币现金 (BCH) 资产。

As part of the plan, Mt. Gox will be distributing BTC and BCH held in the exchange’s estate as of April 26, 2024. Creditors will be able to choose between receiving their allocated BTC or BCH directly or opt to have them sold by the exchange. The proceeds from any sales will then be distributed to the creditors.

作为该计划的一部分，Mt. Gox 将在 2024 年 4 月 26 日之前分配交易所资产中持有的 BTC 和 BCH。债权人将能够选择直接接收分配的 BTC 或 BCH，或者选择由交易所出售它们。任何销售所得的收益将分配给债权人。

The exchange noted that the precise timing of the repayments will vary depending on the chosen withdrawal method. For instance, withdrawals to Kraken will take roughly 90 days to be processed, while those to Bitstamp will take approximately 60 days.

该交易所指出，还款的具体时间将根据所选的提款方式而有所不同。例如，向 Kraken 提款将需要大约 90 天的处理时间，而向 Bitstamp 提款则需要大约 60 天。

Meanwhile, creditors who choose to withdraw their BTC or BCH directly from Mt. Gox will face varying waiting periods. Those withdrawing BTC will have to wait an additional three months before receiving their funds, while BCH withdrawals will be processed immediately.

与此同时，选择直接从 Mt. Gox 提取 BTC 或 BCH 的债权​​人将面临不同的等待期。提取 BTC 的人将不得不再等待三个月才能收到资金，而 BCH 的提取将立即得到处理。

Mt. Gox’s latest announcement comes after the exchange applied for bankruptcy in 2014 following the discovery of a massive BTC theft. At the time, Mt. Gox was handling up to 80% of the global BTC trades.

Mt. Gox 发布最新公告之前，该交易所于 2014 年因发现大规模 BTC 盗窃案而申请破产。当时，Mt. Gox 处理着全球 80% 的 BTC 交易。

Initially reporting the loss of 750,000 BTC, later investigations revealed that the exchange had been insolvent for two years prior to its bankruptcy. Eventually, a trustee was appointed to oversee the bankruptcy proceedings and begin the process of repaying creditors.

最初报告损失了 750,000 BTC，后来调查显示该交易所在破产前两年已经资不抵债。最终，任命了一名受托人来监督破产程序并开始偿还债权人的程序。

Over the years, several proposals for creditor compensation were put forward and ultimately rejected by the creditors. Finally, in October 2021, a rehabilitation plan was approved by the Tokyo District Court and the creditors, paving the way for the upcoming repayments.

多年来，曾多次提出债权人赔偿方案，但最终均被债权人否决。最终，2021年10月，东京地方法院和债权人批准了一项重整计划，为即将到来的还款铺平了道路。
