DCG settlement with Genesis still undecided as 30-day mediation period proceeds

cointelegraph.com:

Digital Currency Group (DCG), the parent company of crypto firm Genesis Capital, has reported no solution to its “outstanding intercompany obligations” that could help reimburse creditors.

In a May 9 announcement, DCG said it was in the middle of a 30-day mediation period with Genesis in response to creditor demands. The firm proposed a settlement plan in February in which Genesis creditors had been expected to receive 80% recovery of funds after the firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. 

However, in April Genesis creditors raised their demands, disrupting the bankruptcy proceedings and the “agreement in principle” between the two firms. Genesis reported it had between $1 billion and $10 billion in liabilities when filing for bankruptcy.

“On a parallel path and to provide further financial flexibility, DCG is in discussions with capital providers for growth capital and to refinance its outstanding intercompany obligations with Genesis,” said DCG. “We are committed to reaching a fair outcome for all and look forward to a productive resolution during this mediation period.”
