Zhiyuan Sun8 hours agoBankrupt CeFi firm Haru Invest hints at asset recoveryNo specific timeline was given as to when users can receive their money back.1498 Total views8 Total sharesListen to article 0:00NewsJoin us on social networksBankrupt South Korean yield platform Haru Invest has said it will return users’ assets, although no particular timeframe was given.


In a Q&A published on Oct. 2, Hugo Lee, Haru Invest’s CEO, said the firm has a plan for “phased asset recovery and distribution” in several rounds through the disposition of recovered assets. Lee wrote: “To note, however, as legal procedures including rehabilitation and cooperation with investigative agencies are still underway, we are essentially unable to distribute the assets on our own. Hence, predicting and telling you the asset distribution schedule is impossible at this time.”


Lee also assured investors they would receive their money back via an equitable distribution regime instead of prioritizing creditors in South Korea. An estimated 60% of Haru Invest users are located abroad, compared with 40% in Korea. 


Haru Invest suspended all deposits and withdrawals in June after discovering allegedly fraudulent activities surrounding a consignment operator, B&S Holdings. The firm subsequently filed for bankruptcy. Haru Invest’s collapse also caused contagion among fellow crypto lender Delio, which held $1 billion in Bitcoin (BTC) and $200 million in Ether (ETH) when it, too, suspended deposits and withdrawals in June. 


At the time of its bankruptcy filing, Haru Invest claimed over 80,000 members, 9.8 million crypto-earn payouts and $2.27 billion in total transactions. Haru previously targeted an annual yield of 12% on most of its earn products. In September 2022, it raised $4 million on a $284 million valuation.


In a Sept. 25 update, Haru Invest said that the company is currently being maintained “with a minimum number of operating personnel.” As a result, it’s no longer possible to log into the website.Important update from Haru Invest. https://t.co/igdTS2DaNp pic.twitter.com/E8mB6PeDQW— Haru Invest (@haruinvest) June 13, 2023
