According to an article about zeekrewards, what i got from it was that they wanted to save investors from "dramatic losses", so they closed shop and instead delivered to the investors "semi-dramatic losses". There was 0 recovery for investors as big badass uncle sam kept it all.
There is currently ~$225 million of Zeek funds in domestic and foreign financial institutions. The emergency order has frozen those assets so that the receiver can recover them and distribute them to investors. The sheer number of customers and the huge number of affiliates means this is going to be complicated, but it's likely that the receiver will seek to claw back payments and go after the millions which were transferred to family members as well.
How much of those ~$225million will be left after the "authorities" take their cut?
I suppose as much as what will be left of Bitcoinica's funds after the liquidator takes his cut...
