The cheque will not be in foreign currency.
You need to go to your bank and they will transfer
The money to your bank account

Not all banks accept checks, so you have to find out which banks in your country do. In Switzerland it shouldnt be a problem I guess? Some will pay it out only if you have account with them though

Full ACH payment received this AM.

Was part of 1st wave but had an offset that turned out not to be an offset, nonetheless delaying the payment that should have likely arrived 9/29

Cheers.

They told me I had a delinquent debt and my remission payment has been sent to the treasury for them to sort out. Is there any additional information regarding this process? I have called the number provided by the Garden City Group (800) 304-3107 but it is only an automated system that lists 0 debts in their database for my ssn.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Well 1 wire reported in this thread does not necessarily mean other wires did not go out today.

Since Sept 29th when most players in first wave got paid I have been calling garden city group 855-907-3254 every week for an update on my situation. When I call the treasury offset number it would also say no debts just like you which was frustrating. On Friday a managerial guy from GCG called me from an unusual number and told me I can call him any time whatsoever for an update on my situation. Basically the US Marshalls were in over a week ago sorting out of the TOS payments. The path is DOJ gets the money then TOS then Marshalls distribute it. He said I will be getting my payment shortly and everything is filled out good and ready to go. I said when and he said by the end of the year but could not say with 100% confidence. I told him if he doesn't mind I will be calling him every week for an update just like I was bothering the GCG people every week. He said cool but hopefully payment is coming really soon and that won't be neccessary

Grunching but a few Q's about this whole thing as I haven't followed it closely:
  1. Have they released just what the total $-amount locked up on UB/AP (or being remitted) actually was?
  2. Just where is the money for this remission coming from...from the same $731M Stars settlement they paid out FTP remissions from?
  3. Is this remission only for US players? How about ROW...are they getting their $ back too?
  4. Any reports about how they're treating ppl who bought up all that AP/UB $ for pennies on the dollar just prior to the sites shutting down? Fairness would dictate that they should get 100% of their balances, but I could see how Remission agency might not be quick to refund 6-7 figure balances, 95% of which came from interacct transfers just prior to shutdown...

4. Who are the consensus biggest-winners from this? I remember a handful of guys going around buying up balances for $0.10 - $0.30...seemed like at least one dude was well into the high-6-figures if not more.

I received an email from them yesterday asking me to update my bank information.

I am hoping this means I am about to get a wire from them.

Total balances were 55m I believe

I was actually surprised that they allowed me to file a claim for the full "inflated" balance without asking any questions. Overall they were very helpful throughout the process. I got a decent ROI out of it but not exactly 2011 bitcoin ROI.
