This is completely sad for those that were holding Bitcoin and some altcoins looking at current bullish momentum, a rally that has lasted for months. The dollar value of what they had lost is very poor, Honestly the case of MtGox exchange is even better, though it took some time to be settled by the team.
If it is possible to get the compensation in dollars now in Bitcoin or wait for several years with the possibility of getting it in Bitcoin, then it is better to get it in dollars and invest it in Bitcoin.
At the time the exchange stopped, I had a bit of BTC, a bit of SOL and a bit of USDT
The fair thing was for FTX to pay out the cryptos to everyone, exactly as it had at the time of the shutdown, but they did the math at the dollar value of the time, which was totally unfair to users
However, I'll be honest, it's better to get paid now in dollars than to be in great uncertainty and perhaps get paid several years from now, as was the case with Mtgox
As time goes by, the costs of justice and of lawyers, accountants and all the professionals involved will increase considerably, and the whole process will become more expensive
