Title: Mt. Gox Payout in Cash Announced for Creditors in 2023: A Long-Awaited Respite for Crypto Investors
Abstract: This article delves into the impending cash payout for creditors of the defunct Tokyo-based cryptocurrency exchange, Mt. Gox. Drawing on a scientific approach, it explores the potential implications and challenges associated with this event, shedding light on the broader ramifications for the cryptocurrency market.

Karpeles faces a prison sentence of up to 10 years and over USD$24 million in claims and penalties.
