Two crypto law experts, WassieLawyer and Adam Levitin, analyze the bankruptcies of 3AC, Celsius, and Voyager. Show highlights:

• the difference between Voyager and Celsius “custody” and “earn” deposits
• why Celsius commingling customer custody and earn deposits could make it harder for creditors to get their money back
• what similarities and differences the Voyager and Celsius bankruptcies have
• how Chapter 11 bankruptcy works
• why Wassie and Adam believe Celsius might have engaged in shady business practices, whereas they believe Voyager was just an irresponsible lender
• what the latest is on the 3AC bankruptcy and the location of Kyle Davies and Zhu Su
• what Celsius and Voyager can clawback from 3AC
• how Alameda fits into the Voyager bankruptcy case
• whether creditors will receive funds back in crypto or dollars
• the three types of ways creditors can “claw back” funds in a bankruptcy case
• why Wassielawyer and Adam believe Celsius’ Chapter 11 plan to restructure around mining is so weird
• whether the founders from 3AC, Celsius, or Voyager will see jail time
