Haru Management | Deadline for Claim Filings Extended
The Seoul Bankruptcy Court has pushed the deadline for filing a claim determination petition to April 3, 2026. This move has sparked discussions among creditors, with concerns about clarity in the filing process remaining pervasive.
Details of the Extension
On February 27, 2026, the court announced the new timeline:
Original Deadline: March 3, 2026
New Deadline: April 3, 2026
This extension aims to assist creditors who need additional time to submit their claims properly.
Community Sentiments
Reactions from creditors range from confusion to frustration:
One creditor wrote, "If you log in on the website, you can check that info and how much assets you’re owed, etc."
Another shared, "It means we’ll be stuck in the process for longer while people try to fight for fake interest from the ponzi that ruined many of our lives."
A different participant added, "I emailed Mr. Lee asking about how to file a claim determination petition and other questions."
These comments highlight a sentiment that many feel uninformed about their claims' status and the extended timeline.
Next Steps for Creditors
The new deadline offers a reprieve for creditors, but obstacles remain:
Claim Status Updates: Many creditors are still awaiting confirmation about their submitted claims.
Future Hearings: Claims filed after January 31, 2026, will face an additional hearing yet to be scheduled.
"If there's a lack of clarity, it could lead to frustrations in the process," noted a local legal expert.
