Singapore-based crypto lender Babel Finance is attempting to make amends with its creditors through the formation of a new recovery coin. However, the now-defunct firm's efforts are proving to antagonise creditors rather than reassure them.
Court filings of affidavits filed by Moonalpha (which essentially operates as Babel Finance) and creditor Deribit show that the latter is far from impressed by the former's finances, accounting, motivations and restructuring plan.
