Mark Karpelès, the CEO of the defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox announced on Twitter a free nonfungible token or NFT drop. You can claim your @MtGox NFT on https://t.co/uUVPsXtCYC if you were a MtGox customer between 2010 and 2014. The NFT is airdropped for free, and available no matter if you had a balance or filed a claim with the bankruptcy. — Mark Karpelès (@MagicalTux) March 28, 2022 Why Did The Exchange Close Down? During Mt.Gox’s functional days, a large number of Bitcoin (BTC) were stolen in July 2019. The major theft had caused the crypto exchange firm to enter bankruptcy in Japan on February 28, 2014. The crypto exchange was hacked and losses were accumulated. The company became the first bankrupt company in Japan to own more assets than liabilities. Free Airdrop of Mt.Gox NFT Mark announced on Monday that cryptocurrency users registered between 2010 and 2014 are allowed to register for a free NFT. Users are required to prove that they were customers of the exchange and must show the registration date. The official website of the NFT drop announced, “A new token or NFT airdrop is a terrific approach to engage people while also recouping some of the Mt.Gox losses.”The post Former Crypto Exchange Mt.
