“This estate is basically saying prime trust was so poorly run that the assets that were supposed to have been clearly demarcated per client were hopelessly co-mingled.” The Prime Trust Litigation Trust is suing bitcoin companies to clawback funds that it claims were withdrawn during a preference period before the company went bankrupt.

But unfortunately, the Prime Trust operations were just pulling everything together and running a seemingly fractional reserve.” 🎧Catch the latest episode of 'The Blockspace Pod,’ in partnership with @blockspace Media! 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2jyIhkvAQhed8AWDZiPpSP 🎧 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coindesk-podcast-network/id1414384043 📺 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZBo-pYEI9lyjxoojq_X8MA?sub_confirmation=1
