The duties of the teacher include the liquidation of assets on behalf of clients Mt. Gox. Most of them failed to return the invested funds after the stock market closed in 2014. In the process of compensation is a problem, since payments are made based on the rate of the Japanese yen at the time of reimbursement request. Thus, people at risk of receiving less tokens than originally invested, due to the difference in cost.
