BlockFi CEO Zac Prince Accused of Fraud and Excess by Creditors
The Unsecured Creditors’ Committee (UCC) of BlockFi has taken legal action against CEO Zac Prince, alleging fraud and excessive behavior. The UCC claims that Prince and BlockFi have engaged in self-enrichment while delaying progress for creditors.

The UCC is calling for the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee to investigate alleged violations of fiduciary duty and fraudulent transfers.
Key Points:
– UCC accuses Zac Prince and BlockFi of self-enrichment and delaying progress for creditors.
– Motion for debtors’ exclusivity is seen as benefiting insiders at the expense of owed money.
– UCC requests the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee to investigate alleged violations of fiduciary duty and fraudulent transfers.
UCC Proposes Alternative Plans to Minimize Losses
Concerned about the depletion of funds owed to creditors, the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee has put forward alternative plans. They suggest reducing the exclusivity period granted to BlockFi’s management and appointing a Chapter 11 trustee to ensure a fair investigation. Another option is converting the bankruptcy to Chapter 7, which would require the company to prove that its current efforts will not negatively impact distributions owed to parties. The UCC also accuses BlockFi of violating federal law and making false statements during the restructuring process.
Key Points:
– UCC proposes reducing exclusivity period and appointing a Chapter 11 trustee.
