Mt.Gox's two biggest lenders opt for BTC payouts
Mt.Gox's two largest lenders are due to receive some of their funds in September. They are Bitcoinica and MtGox Investment Funds (MGIF). They together represent about 1/5th of all Mt.Gox claims.
The collapsed exchange is willing to pay them 90% of the demanded amount, and has offered two refund options: in BTC or via bank transfer.
According to people close to the Mt.Gox case, both of these lenders have agreed to receive the payment in bitcoins.
