In 2021, due to the Luna crash, the Bitcoin that I had been keeping in this crypto exchange called Hodlnaut went under. I didn’t have a substantial amount, but to see it vaporise into nothingness was quite the shocker.
Fast forward to June 2025. I received a Proof of Debt email from Hodlnaut. It seemed that I could submit my claim to the law firm representing it. Well, I didn’t think anything would materialise but I dutifully completed the submission form anyway…just because.
Today, on the 30th of Sept, I received another email that stated how I would receive about SGD$480 in my bank account the next day. The letter enticingly indicated “first interim dividend”, which might qualify me for subsequent payouts. Well, not to get my hopes up too high. I will just enjoy my unexpected windfall. Not a coincidence that 2nd Oct is Children’s Day, so I might just treat the children to something nice.
Funny how life has a way of working itself out.
Congratulations on that recovery; I hope you can get back everything you lost in that unfortunate incident.
Two things that stick in my mind after reading your post are:
your second point made me laugh. yup I’m not the kind who resolves to have every spare penny optimised to generate more wealth for me haha
Wow congrats! This gives me hope. I lost small amount in 2021 too when Luna crashed, thought it was gone forever like you. Seeing you get SGD$480 back as "first interim dividend" after doing paperwork even when you doubted — that motivates me to keep my records. Enjoy Children's Day Oct 2nd with the kids, you deserve it! Not many get second chance from Luna. Did they pay back in fiat or BTC?
in fiat hehe
nice to meet you
Thanks for replying! Fiat makes sense, government process. Nice to meet you too! Hope you get the rest back soon. I'm stacking sats from Nigeria via Stacker, learning from stories like yours. 🙏
