Gold Standard Bank Settlement Program

An update for Claimants

Thank you for your patience as the Settling Jurisdictions and AlixPartners, the Settlement Administrator, in the GSB Settlement continue work towards determining your claim. We have heard from many claimants with concerns about the delay and realize this has taken longer than you expected.

The claims process is proceeding. The Settling Jurisdictions and GSB’s counsel are working to finalize certain remaining matters that must be resolved before claims can be determined. Once those matters are resolved, AlixPartners, as the Settlement Administrator, will proceed with determining claims and distributing payments to eligible claimants. Please continue to monitor your email and claims portal for messages regarding your claims determination status. We hope to provide more substantive updates by the end of September, if not sooner.

Also, in the interim, the Settling Jurisdictions are aware of numerous scams related to the GSB Settlement. These scams falsely claim to be the official GSB Settlement and give alleged dates and deadlines regarding the GSB Settlement. Please continue to exercise caution regarding these communications, which are not related to the GSB Settlement. All official communications will come directly from the Settling Jurisdictions or from AlixPartners as the GSB Settlement Administrator.

We appreciate your continued patience as we work to bring the GSB Settlement to a close for the claimants.

Sincerely,
GSB Settling Jurisdictions &
GSB Settlement Administrator

As part of a settlement to resolve civil investigations by certain U.S. state and Canadian securities regulators, GSB has agreed to compensate eligible U.S. and Canadian customers who are residents of the settling jurisdictions (See the current list of settling jurisdictions in the FAQs - Who is eligible?). An independent claims administrator, AlixPartners, will receive and evaluate claims.

Eligible GSB customers will be able to submit claims through the Claims Portal beginning in the coming weeks. The Claims submission process will last 90 days.

As part of the GSB Settlement administration process, you are not required to deposit any funds. You also should not submit information to anyone except the Settlement Administrator, AlixPartners, which can be done through www.gsbsettlement.com. Please be aware of scams and counterfeit websites requiring you to provide additional funds and information.

Submit your claim: Submit an electronic claim form with supporting documentation via the Claims Portal. If you are represented by an attorney, your attorney may submit the claim on your behalf. We review your claim and supporting documentation to assess your eligibility for compensation.
Accept your offer: Once we verify your eligibility and of the amount owed to you by GSB, the goal is to quickly pay you the verifiable amount in digital currency into a digital wallet address.

The whole process is conducted quickly and easily via the Claims Portal and can be completed, from start to finish, on your home computer or mobile device.
