Lets see this from a different view please.
Vernon run away and loling at this
Cyrptsy workers loling at this because there is nothing against them
Vernon's Ex-wife took 250k and loling at this
Lawyers taking 33.33% and loling at this
We look at this and get scraps crying at this
and the most typed word in these 13 pages is THIS IS FAIR THIS FAIR THIS IS FAIR
"Importantly, had the value of cryptocurrency gone the other way, deceasing in value, the
current objections be without support. And, in such event, and if the valuation date had been the
current date, as the Objectors propose, then Class Members might have objected because the
Settlement did not lock in the perceived value of the cryptocurrency as of the date Cryptsy shut
down and before the market went south."
No! just NO if it went south the number of claimants would go from 1687 to 16 ONLY because it won't be worth the hassle but IT WENT UP, if my grand grad grandfather 300 years ago bought a land with 2 CENTS if it's mine now would I sell you my land for 2 cents or 1,000,000 ?
Agreed about the people laughing all the way to the bank... As the cryptsy employees received paychecks consisting entirely of stolen funds... but that isnt the issue here...
When you look at the argument thats being made, the point is this:
No matter what the currency WOULD be worth now, the funds are set. For example:
100 dollars is all that's left to take from the remains of craptsy.
100 people have an equal claim to the money (I know this isn't correct as some people had .2 and others had 2 BTC but for math sake... bear with me)
Each person has 1 share (or the fraction of a share as explained above)
1 share = 1 dollar
If you think your 1 share is worth more than the 1 dollar offered, where should they get it from?
Each share cannot be worth more than whats left. you cannot claim that your share should be worth 5 dollars because the value of the stolen goods is higher now.
If you don't agree with the settlement, you are free to sue Vern, and I am sure you would win. But you will never collect anything.
The goods are gone. There is no place to get more money from. The funds are going to get split evenly by the amount held at the time of closing. If there is a more fair way to do it, let us all know.
Yes, the lawyers are gonna take a cut. 30% it looks like. but whatever left over will be split up based on what you had.
