The U.S. Department of Justice filed an appeal late Thursday evening challenging a New York bankruptcy judge’s day-old decision to approve investvoyager’s plan to sell its assets to Binance.US. cheyenneligon reports
late Thursday evening challenging a New York bankruptcy judge’s decision to allow Binance.US’s billion-dollar plan to acquire the assets of bankrupt crypto lender Voyager Digital.
The appeal, which was filed by the U.S. Trustee’s Office – an arm of the DOJ responsible for overseeing bankruptcies – comes just one day after Judge Michael WilesRegulators, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and various state regulators have been staunchly opposed to the proposed deal. Last month, the SEC filed an objection to the purchase of Voyager, arguing that Binance.US may be violating federal securities laws by operating an unregistered securities exchange in the U.S.
However, Judge Wiles appeared to be unmoved by the SEC’s concerns, telling the lawyers present at the hearing that the Bankruptcy Code “doesn’t contemplate an endless period of time.” “Things have to be done. We have creditors who are waiting and who in the midst of all of this uncertainty have no access to property in which they’ve invested, in some cases, their life savings, so we have to take some kind of action,” Wiles said. “We have to do something.”
Under the proposed sale to Binance.US, Voyager’s customers would see an estimated 73% recovery. The plan, which was assembled after FTX – Voyager’s previous top bidder – filed for its own bankruptcy in November, was supported by 97% of Voyager’s creditors.If Voyager decides not to go through with the current plan to sell itself to Binance.
