OKPay, an international payment processing solution, has paid Mt. Gox a large sum of money.
A leaked receipt, signed by Mt. Gox bankruptcy trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi and dated August 28th of this year, calls Mt. Gox the “debtor” in the situation.
Mt. Gox received two payments from OKPay. $6,014,780.00 USD on August 12th, and $130 on August 15th.
Amusingly, OKPay charged Mt. Gox a 1% transaction fee to transfer the money using their own services, a fee which would not have been necessary had they used Bitcoin.
What’s This For?
The reason for this payment has not been disclosed.
OKPay had a history of working with Mt. Gox, helping users process their transactions in and out of it.
However, in May 2013, OKPay suspended service to all Bitcoin exchanges, including Mt. Gox.
Could this payment have been related to that service suspension?
Collecting Their Debts
Mt. Gox’s creditors are owed an incredible amount of money, and the company may be collecting their debts in order to help manage those debts.
The company “lost” 850,000 BTC earlier this year and shut itself down, though 200,000 BTC was later “found” in an old format wallet which the company thought was empty.
