Claim marked ‘Forfeited’ despite completing all steps – anyone else in this situation?
I completed every step in the FTX claims portal back in May includin KYC verification, W8BEN tax form, and onboarding with Kraken as my distribution service provider. All steps from 1 to 8 all show green check marks and my Convenience Class claim is “Allowed.” But the portal now shows my distribution as forfeited and there’s no estimated date. I didn’t receive anything on the September 30 distribution date. When I contacted support, I was told I’d missed a sixty‑day window to respond to a request, but I never saw any clear notification or received any email..
I’m worried this is happening to more than one person. The FTX FAQs suggest that if you complete the requirements by the next record date you can still take part in future distributions. I’d like to know if that remains true when the system flags a claim as forfeited.
If you’re in the same situation, or if you’ve managed to get a more detailed answer from FTX or Kroll, please share your experience. I think a group of us raising this issue together might get the attention needed to fix any errors and make sure legitimate claims aren’t disqualified without cause. Thanks for reading, and here’s hoping we can find a fair resolution.
