Voyager customers to get up to 35% return
After receiving the green light from Judge Michael Wiles on Wednesday, May 15th, Voyager is set to take its inaugural strides towards returning a whopping $1.3 billion to its faithful customers. This liquidation plan, which was filed by Voyager on May 5th, will reimburse customers for 75.68% of the aggregate value of their claims.
However, the estimated initial recovery rate currently stands at a modest 35%. But, there is hope on the horizon. Voyager may be able to recover more if it can successfully retrieve the $445 million in loan repayments owed to the lender by FTX before its unfortunate demise. The liquidation of Three Arrows Capital could also result in more recoveries for Voyager. Fingers crossed!
