I don't know that any resolution would have made the news, and I don't think it would have if Kraken paid a small amount for what amounts to worthless shares.
True, but there are still posts being made from CAVirtex shareholders saying they haven't been compensated or even contacted by Kraken, despite assurances that both these things were going to happen. It seems as if Kraken are just hoping that over time most people will lose interest in chasing them up or forget about the whole thing. That just doesn't sit right with me, especially for them to then start offering more shares.
I would encourage you to create an account at BTTF and broach the question about what happened. I dont think they could reasonably ignore the question if you bring up the issues you are talking about.
I wasnt able to find any fairly recent posts on here or Reddit when I previously was searching for posts you described. IIRC most were not long after the acquisition.
Even though they were saying they were going to pay that specific class of shareholder, I am unsure they were legally required to do so, absent a promise to pay them.
