Earlier this year, the crypto ATM operator filed for bankruptcy. On February 8, Coin Cloud announced that it would file for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Chris McAlary, the company’s chief executive and president, said the decision will allow them to restructure their debt and protect the interests of creditors. The company’s liabilities ranged from $100 million to $500 million, while its assets ranged from $50 million to $100 million, according to a Feb. 7 filing.
