BlockFi’s reorganization continues to inch forward as the firm announced that its disclosure statement was conditionally approved by the U.S. bankruptcy court in New Jersey.

“BlockFi’s mission through this process has been to maximize recoveries for our creditors, and conditional approval of our Disclosure Statement moves us one step closer to accomplishing that goal,” said Mark Renzi of Berkeley Research Group, BlockFi’s Chief Restructuring Officer, in a statement. “We are confident that our Plan provides the best path to expeditiously return crypto back to our clients and we strongly urge BlockFi’s clients to vote to accept it.”

The lender added that if the bankruptcy plan is approved it will focus its efforts on recovering money from other defunct firms Alameda, FTX, 3AC, Emergent, Marex, and Core Scientific.

However, BlockFi’s proposed bankruptcy plan has its critics.

FTX, Three Arrows Capital (3AC), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have objected to BlockFi’s proposed bankruptcy plan, as CoinDesk previously reported, arguing it unfairly downgrades their claims, lacks procedural fairness, and is overly broad in absolving BlockFi and its management from legal responsibility, with over a billion dollars of disputed transactions in question.

The liquidator of Three Arrows Capital (3AC) said in early July that it will attempt to claw back $220 million of “preferential payments” to BlockFi.
