Crypto Lender Voyager Has Rejected The Buyout OfferSam Bankman-Fried, the Crypto billionaire had previously offered to buy Voyager’s assets with cash at market value. It has offered to provide the customers an option to receive their share of the claims by opening a new account at FTX.
Voyager declines that offer by stating that it was a low ball liquidation bid, mainly citing concerns around the deal not being “value-maximising” for its clients. The crypto lender’s attorney for Voyager stated in court that the company has been receiving many bids for its assets which is in excess compared to the offer from FTX and Alameda.
