What happens if Hodlnaut gets liquidated?
The company in the post wrote that the interim judicial management process is what it believes to be best because other than that, Hodlnaut will most likely get liquidated, and this will not be good for both the users and the company considering current market prices.
In the event of a liquidation, all assets of the company are sold first, and then distributed to our users equally in proportion to their holdings. What this would mean is that all users (whether you have deposited BTC, ETH or stablecoins) would likely only get back a fraction of what was initially deposited, The company wrote.
It also assured users that once an interim manager is appointed, he will take up a managerial position in the company and make decisions in the best interest of the users.
