SafeMoon collapsed into Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and the money coming back to people who held SFM is being returned through three separate settlements. Not one. Three. Each has its own claim form, and filing for one does absolutely nothing for the other two.
That is the part worth getting right, because the deadline for all of them is November 9, 2026.
Why there are three
The main settlement is between the class and Ellen E. Ostrow, the Chapter 7 trustee handling the bankruptcy estate of SafeMoon US, LLC. Roughly $12 million in cash sits behind it, and the notice mentions the possibility of a further fund later.
The other two name individuals rather than the company. One is with Jake Paul. The other is with Daniel M. Keem, the YouTuber better known as Keemstar. Both promoted SFM, and both settlements cover people who bought tokens directly from that person or bought because of a solicitation that person published.
Which ones apply to you
For the trustee settlement, you qualify if you bought SFM tokens directly from SafeMoon US between March 8, 2021 and November 1, 2023. You also qualify if a SafeMoon solicitation is what prompted you to buy during that window.
The Jake Paul settlement uses the same dates and the same structure, but the purchase has to trace back to him. The Keem settlement works identically.
You can fall into more than one. If you first heard about SafeMoon through a video and then bought, you may be covered by a named settlement as well as the trustee one. Each still takes its own claim.
How much is it worth
Nobody can tell you, and anyone who does is making it up.
The trustee settlement is a distribution from a bankruptcy estate, so what reaches you depends on what you establish through the Proof of Claim and on how many valid claims arrive. There is no fixed per-person figure.
For the Jake Paul and Keem settlements it is starker still: no dollar amount appears on the settlement website at all. If you see a specific number quoted for either, treat it as a guess rather than information.
If you already filed in the bankruptcy
This catches people out. If you filed a timely proof of claim in SafeMoon's Chapter 7 case on or before July 22, 2024, you do not need to submit a Class Claim form for the trustee settlement. The trustee or her advisors may come back to you for more detail.
That exemption covers the trustee settlement only. The Jake Paul and Keem settlements still need their own claims from you.
The dates, including one that looks wrong
Claims close November 9, 2026. Mailed forms have to be postmarked by then; online submissions have to be in by then.
The approval hearing is October 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. before Judge David Barlow at the Orrin G. Hatch United States Courthouse in Salt Lake City. That is before the claim deadline, which is the reverse of the usual order and looks like an error when you first see it. It is not. You also do not need to attend the hearing to receive a distribution.
Where to file
Claims go through safemoonsettlement.com, which is run by the claims administrator Stretto. You can submit electronically or post the Proof of Claim and Release Form.
Read the notices there against your own circumstances before assuming which settlements cover you. The class definitions turn on buying directly from SafeMoon US, Jake Paul or Keem, or buying because one of them published a solicitation, and plenty of people who held SFM will not meet any of those tests.
