Now I am confused because on Step 3, it says "KYC is recommended but not required". Says you can skip KYC and move to Step 4 to verify balance and Step 5 to file your claim.
However later it states that you must begin your KYC process and file your claim by Sept 29. Any claim of a customer with an unverified KYC status will be deemed unverified and the Debtors reserve to object such claims on missing or incomplete KYC info.
As I understand this, kyc is not required to proceed further to "verify balance" and prepare "file your calim", but it is necessary for it to be considered by FTX.
so without KYC you can check how much of your funds FTX owes you, but without KYC you can't count on receiving them. In my opinion, this mechanism was created for those who have many funds on different exchanges and constantly transfer them and do not remember whether they left $50 or $5,000 on FTX.
But first. Make sure its not phising.
Does anyone know what this means? I would KYC if I knew 100% I would get back at least 50% of my funds. If in 5 years, all I get is 10% then they can just keep it and not going to bother with this.
From what I remember, FTX had about $9 billion in client funds. currently it is said that they will dump about $3 billion woth of coins, of which $1 billion is worthless FTT and SOL, so it can be said that they will recover like $2 billion
of which they will probably record 20% in their books as "operating costs". So in reality they will probably recover $1.6 billion of $9 billion, or about 17%. So I wouldn't count on more than that, and 50% seems unrealistic to me.
