Questions answered from the record

How do HDO and HCN relate to Himalaya Exchange?

Paragraph 19 of the third superseding indictment identifies HDO (H Dollar) and HCN (H Coin) as the two assets promoted through the platform and describes the platform’s claims about them. This identifies names and allegations in the filing; it does not verify reserves or value.

Does the judgment address Himalaya Exchange?

Yes. Page 2 of judgment #860 lists Count Eleven as wire fraud involving Himalaya Exchange. Use the judgment to check convictions and #307 to read the charges; not every charge in an indictment resulted in a conviction.

Is the entire $889 million amount attributed to the exchange?

No. The money-judgment analysis in #858 addresses cash inflows to the Farm Loan Program, G Clubs and Himalaya Exchange together; #860 refers to that ruling. This case-wide amount is not an amount for one platform or customer, nor a calculation of anyone’s recovery.

Does filing a return-of-property motion mean it was granted?

No. #186 records a request by customers through counsel. #720 is a preliminary forfeiture order issued by the court and includes a third-party claim procedure. Check who made each request, what the court decided and which property is at issue.

Why are criminal and bankruptcy filings listed together?

Both proceedings contain material about the exchange or related companies, but their case numbers, parties and requested relief differ. CTB #2898, paragraphs 116–120, states the trustee’s allegations; SDNY #858 is a ruling in the criminal case. Shared names do not make claims or outcomes interchangeable.
