According to the notice, the court has issued a Bar Date Order setting deadlines for submitting proofs of claim, approving procedures and notices, and granting related relief. The Bar Dates have been extended by another court order, and the Debtors have amended their Schedules and Statements to reflect that only Celsius Network LLC is liable for contract claims related to the Earn, Custody, and Withhold programs, and only Celsius Lending LLC is liable for contract claims related to the Borrow program.

Additionally, the Debtors have scheduled no claims for fraud or other non-contractual claims, and account holders who wish to assert such claims must file a proof of claim by April 28, 2023. The amended global notes to the Schedules and Statements and other case documents can be obtained online for free.

Meanwhile, Bank To The Future CEO and founder, Simon Dixon retweeted Adler’s tweet stating that Adler deserves recognition for his voluntary services to Celsius creditors while also representing his clients in his usual capacity as their legal advisor.

Earlier, a court ruling allowed Celsius customers with Custody accounts to receive up to 72.5% of their deposited crypto back, while Earn account holders who signed over their crypto to Celsius will not benefit. Celsius claimed to have $4.3 billion in assets with $5.5 billion in liabilities when filing for bankruptcy.

Essentially, Judge Glenn’s ruling cut Celsius’ liabilities down to about $1.3 billion. The remaining Earn customers have a choice between receiving almost three-quarters of their money back or pursuing further litigation.
