🔍 HOW TRANSACTIONS WERE REVIEWED

  1. The Receiver's team carefully examined:
    • EminiFX's books and records
    • Transaction information you provided
  2. Transactions were disputed when:
    • We couldn't verify the information you provided
    • You didn't provide any information

⏱️ MISSED THE OBJECTION DEADLINE?

If you did not respond to disputed transactions by December 16, 2024:

  • Your right to object has expired
    • You can no longer challenge the Receiver's decisions
  • What does than mean for my claim:
    • The Receiver's amounts will be used to calculate your claim
    • These amounts appear in the "Receiver Determination Amount" column
    • If the Receiver determined you have no valid deposits, your claim amount will be $0
  • Where to see these amounts:
    • Log into your User Portal
    • Look at the "Receiver Determination Amount" column for each transaction 

🛑 IF YOU OBJECTED TO THE RECEIVER'S DECISION

What happens to your objection:

  • If you selected "Dispute" before December 16, 2024, your case was reviewed by the receiver

Unresolved disputes were submitted to the Court:

  • The Receiver filed with the court a summary of User Objections DKT 497 and DKT 504
  • The Receiver requested that the Court approve the Receiver’s proposed resolution, DKT 506
  • Users had until September 9, 2025 to provide additional information in support of their objection to the Receiver’s determinations.
  • The Court approved the Receiver’s determinations on September 22, 2025, DKT 527.
  • The Final Claims Report was filed on October 3, 2025 and emailed to all users.
  • Users can go their individual Portals to review the final determinations on their transactions.

⚖️ WHY TRANSACTION AMOUNTS MAY DIFFER

Reasons for differences between your amount and the Receiver's amount:

  1. Verification process:
    • The Receiver compares your information with EminiFX's official records
    • If there's a mismatch or insufficient proof, the transaction is disputed
  2. Transaction fees:
    • Your records might show the amount before fees
    • The Transaction Log shows the actual amount received by EminiFX
    • This includes deductions for CoinPayments fees and other transaction costs
  3. Important reminder:
    • ROI (Return on Investment) is not counted
    • Bonuses are not counted
    • Internal transfers between users are not counted

The Receiver must ensure all transactions are properly verified with adequate documentation.

REASSIGNMENTS OF DEPOSITS

What if I made a mistake with reassignments?

  • Reassignments cannot be changed at this point

MISSED THE FEBRUARY 2024 DEADLINE TO DISPUTE OR ADD TRANSACTIONS?

You have NOT lost your claim

If you missed the February 26, 2024 deadline to dispute or add transactions:

  • Your transactions are considered "presumptively verified"
  • You cannot add new transactions now
  • You cannot dispute transactions now
  • Your claim was still processed based on:
    • Records the Receiver already has about your account
    • The withdrawals and deposits we can verify you made

⏰ MISSED THE DECEMBER 2024 DEADLINE TO OBJECT TO THE RECEIVER’S DETERMINATIONS?

  • You can no longer object to the Receiver’s determinations
  • You cannot add additional transactions
  • The claims process is complete
  • Whether you have a claim will be based on the Receiver’s determinations

What you should do now:

  • Make sure your payment information is up to date in your User Portal
  • Check your claim status in the User Portal

📋 WHY YOUR TRANSACTION LOG MIGHT BE EMPTY

If no transactions appear in your log:

  • The Receiver reviewed all available documents to find:
    • All deposits (money going into EminiFX)
    • All withdrawals (money taken out of EminiFX)
  • If your Transaction Log is empty, it means:
    • The Receiver found no record of you making any deposits to EminiFX
    • The Receiver found no record of you taking any withdrawals from EminiFX
    • You did not add any transactions yourself during the User Portal process

What this means for you:

Based on our records, you did not put money into or take money out of the EminiFX system.

🤔 WHAT IF I NEVER PUT MONEY IN OR TOOK MONEY OUT?

If you did not make any deposits or withdrawals:

  • No action is required
  • You don't need to do anything else
  • Your account is already properly reflected in our system

Distribution Plan Frequently Asked Questions
 

DISTRIBUTION PLAN APPROVAL

Yes, the plan has been approved

  • The Court approved the Receiver's Distribution Plan on January 21, 2025

Where to find the documents:

💰 HOW MUCH MONEY WILL YOU RECEIVE?

Your initial payment depends on how much you deposited:

If you deposited $1,000 or less (Class 3A):

  • You'll get 55% of your deposits minus any withdrawals
  • Example 1: $800 deposit, no withdrawals = $440 payment (55% of $800)
  • Example 2: $800 deposit, $100 withdrawal = $340 payment ($440 - $100)
  • This will be your only payment

If you deposited more than $1,000 (Class 3):

  • You'll get 45% of your deposits minus any withdrawals
  • Example 1: $10,000 deposit, no withdrawals = $4,500 payment (45% of $10,000)
  • Example 2: $10,000 deposit, $1,000 withdrawal = $3,500 payment ($4,500 - $1,000)
  • You might get more payments later

Important note:

If you already withdrew more than your calculated payment amount, you won't receive a payment.

  • Example: $10,000 deposit with $5,000 withdrawal = no payment (since $5,000 > $4,500)
  • This affects only a few hundred users out of tens of thousands

ROI, BONUSES & TRANSFERS ARE NOT COUNTED

What's NOT included in your payment calculation:

  • ROI (Returns on Investment)
  • Bonuses
  • Internal transfers between users

Why these aren't counted:

  • The Court ruled that "the gains and bonuses were illusory"
  • The Court determined "EminiFX was a Ponzi scheme that did not generate any actual profits"
  • All deposits were pooled together in one account
  • Withdrawals came from other investors' deposits, not from investment profits
  • This same pool of money is being used to make payments now

One exception - deposit reassignments:

If another user agreed to reassign one of their verified deposits to you through the portal system:

  • This amount WAS added to your verified deposits
  • The other user's verified deposits was reduced by that same amount
