Dutch Prosecutors Sell $2.5M in Crypto from Bankrupt Platform Knaken
Dutch prosecutors have sold cryptocurrencies seized from the bankrupt platform Knaken, raising $2.5 million to repay creditors. The trustee estimates customers invested between $12 million and $14 million, but the sale proceeds are currently the only funds in the bankruptcy estate. A lawyer for affected customers questions whether prosecutors had the authority to sell these assets. Knaken, which operated without regulatory permission, went offline in early June and was declared bankrupt by a court on July 16. This follows a 2020 incident where 23 BTC were stolen. The trustee stated that customers actually hold euro-denominated claims, not ownership of the cryptocurrencies.
