PANews reported on July 8 that according to The Block, Bitstamp said in a statement: "According to the agreement with the Mt. Gox trustee, Bitstamp has 60 days to distribute tokens, but we will work hard to ensure that these investors are compensated as soon as possible."
The payouts were reportedly processed through five exchanges, which had varying timeframes for distributing tokens after receiving them from the trustee. Two Japanese exchanges (Bitbank and SBI VC Trade) received and appeared to have distributed the allocated funds received, completing the distribution within just a few hours, rather than the maximum two weeks initially agreed upon.
