Under the moratorium, DeFi Payments would be protected from wind-up proposals, the appointment of a receiver or manager, and any court proceedings targeted towards the company, including including any determined by its 147,000 creditors.
Vauld said in an updated FAQ on its website on Monday that the moratorium would give the company enough time to develop a restructuring plan and achieve better results for its creditors. Although the new protection order expires on November 7, Judge Abdullah has said that he will issue an extension if Wold is transparent about his progress in repaying creditors.
