New features from Zeek Receiver clarifies claim status
Been getting the odd comment from people a bit lost over there Zeek Rewards claim. I typically tell them to get in contact with the Receivership but that doesn’t really help when the Receivership apparently isn’t responding to every email sent in.
Well, good news for affiliate victims stuck in this situation.
In an update published November 25th, the Receivership writes
Today, new features were added to the claim status portal in response to issues that have arisen in the distribution process.
These updates allow for a claimant who is eligible to receive a distribution to be able to check the status of that distribution by logging on to the claim status portal.
In addition to claim status, that portal will now provide those affiliates who are eligible to receive a distribution with: the date on which his/her distribution check was issued; the amount of the distribution check; whether the distribution check has been cashed; and whether the distribution check was returned to us as undeliverable.
Second, if your check was returned to us, lost, destroyed, or your check was issued in the wrong name (for example, if you inadvertently provided your Zeek username instead of your real name when you provided your payment information), you will now be able to request a new check be issued to you in the proper name.
With these improvements to the claims status portal we will no longer respond to emails and calls that request the status of a claim that can otherwise be answered by logging into the claim portal and checking on the status of your claim.
We hope that these updates will address many of the issues you have been asking us about.
Hopefully this will clarify the status of the claims of affiliates who haven’t heard anything from the Receivership since lodging it.
If the volume of requests for information we’ve seen here is any indication, it’s likely they were bogged down and probably won’t get around to eventually replying to queries already sent.
The claims portal can be accessed over at the Zeek Receivership website (November 25th update).
Yes, I am glad to see that they did this. I have tried to help answer a number of questions from people in regards to were they getting a check or not. At least now it is a lot clearer.
Are those affiliates really victims? Or are they victimizers who weren’t successful at victimizing?
Victims in the sense they had invested funds stolen by earlier investors.
Anything outside of that context is a separate issue (greed, intent, knowledge of the Ponzi etc.).
With there being an estimated million plus members, one could come up with any number of descriptive terms and there would probably be a subgroup to suit.
You will probably find both types, victims and victimizers, among them, but the court has decided not to separate between those two types or the degree of which type.
According to patrickpretty.com (PPblog), the 30% withheld taxes will now be released, on December 23rd.

This time, people will need to read the FULL update themselves. I only copied enough of it to identify the update itself (date, etc.).
