Understand your rights as a Linqto Customer

Are you a Linqto customer? If so, you may be wondering if you will ever get your shares back

With the company in chapter 11 bankruptcy and reporting that the shares you purchased a beneficial interest in were never properly allocated to you, your “claim” may be limited to the value of your original investment and your ultimate recovery may be tied to a pool of estate assets rather than the value of your specific investments. 

The company and its former CEO face serious allegations of fraud, mismanagement, and securities violations. A fight is brewing between Linqto’s investors and Linqto’s customers over who owns the $500M+ in equities on the balance sheet. That, along with significant tax and regulatory hurdles that must be overcome before a plan can be confirmed will complicate the road to recovery.

FAQs

What happens to the shares I bought on Linqto?
The securities you “purchased” through Linqto were intended to be held by SPVs (special purpose vehicles) owned by the company in which you, as an investor, would obtain a beneficial interest through membership units in a corresponding SPV. Although you received shares in one or more SPVs, evidenced by stock certificates, an LLC operating agreement and one or more signed subscription agreements, the debtors have stated that the securities were never properly allocated to the SPVs and the SPVs were not properly formed in the first place. 

Nearly all of the securities are held by the Debtors at an entity called Linqto Liquidshares LLC, but because of this management failure, the Debtors claim that you have no right to the underlying securities or any appreciation value and that your rights are limited to claims against the Debtors as a general unsecured creditor. While we have not yet seen a proposed plan from the Debtors, your claim recovery may be limited to a cash distribution or an interest in a successor vehicle, as opposed to the actual securities you “purchased.”
How much will I recover?
Recoveries from the bankruptcy case will depend on the total value of Linqto’s assets, legal challenges from regulators, class action claimants and other stakeholders (including non-customer creditors and equity investors in Linqto Inc.) and the bankruptcy plan process. 
How long will this process take?
The average bankruptcy case takes 2-3 years to conclude.  Although the professionals are motivated to move fast in this case given limited assets to fund the cases beyond the customer securities, there is no set timeline and there remain many complex issues to resolve. We expect that the process will take at least 6 months and possibly more than a year if there are substantial regulatory, tax or other challenges to any proposed plan.  
What are my options right now?
You can wait and follow the bankruptcy process or you can explore selling your claim through ͷ’s marketplace for immediate cash. Selling is optional, anonymous, and gets money in your pocket to reinvest how you choose.
Why should I work with ͷ?
ͷ has helped claimholders in similar high-profile bankruptcies involving fraud, large groups of retail investors and complex customer issues arising from an asset base likely to fluctuate or appreciate significantly over the course of the bankruptcy. We were one of the largest intermediaries for trading in FTX, Voyager, Celsius, BlockFi, Genesis and other major bankruptcies in the past three years. ͷ has helped creditors recover faster on more than $1 billion of claims. Linqto customers can benefit from some of the same trusted tools and marketplace access used by claimholders in those other complex cases.
