From the administrators' statement
Part of the former Joint Liquidators’ work was to complete a Customer offboarding process which included i) reconciling the segregated Relevant Funds held with the Company’s Correspondent Banks to the Customer claims and ii) distributing each Customers’ respective share of the Relevant Funds, subject to the Customer having submitted details of their claim and having provided all requisite documentation to comply with all relevant anti-money laundering regulations.
To complete this work, the Joint Liquidators issued a Customer Details Form and requested this be completed by all Customers wishing to submit a claim to a share of the Relevant Funds.
This work led to claims being received from Customers which did not agree with or, alternatively, were not included on the Company’s reconciliation. The Joint Liquidators therefore took the decision to rehost the transaction histories included in BFL’s operating platform (known as ‘Crassula’) within a SQL database with a view to reviewing ledgers and verifying the Customers’ closing balance at the time the restrictions were imposed. This rehosting exercise was required as BFL’s operating platform had been decommissioned as part of the orderly wind down of the Company’s operations.
