The Authorities reacted very fast to this incident and this impressed me a lot. I am sure that they are going to catch the hackers soon. And by reading this news I am now assured that New Zealand is the best country to set up your own firm as you are totally protected from the laws and the government. Even more, if you are a company related to the cryptocurrency industry.

I understand that no details can be revealed during the ongoing investigation. But what is the point of the news then? I bet people that have suffered from the hack are sick from hearing such statements as "excellent progress is being achieved" while seeing no actual progress on the matter. Police should not only arrest the thieves but retrieve all the stolen money from them. And only when that is done they can make statements that can be really interesting to read.

There is no point for this article except coinidol.com's way of making you click the link so they can get more hits. Read the title. It is a trick to cause you to you think that there are new updates on the hack.

But updates are updates hehehe.

There was a report that they already liquidated a few million dollars worth of crypto. Chances of getting that back is pretty slim. If they were in cold storage then it must be an inside job, Cryptopia is a solid exchange

unless it was an inside job and the employee is still in NZ, that's probably not gonna happen. the money is gone. just ask mt gox victims how easy it is to claw stolen money back in a crypto heist. Undecided

it's too bad, the timing of it all. i'll bet if this happened during the altcoin boom, they could have easily crowdfunded a recovery (bitfinex style). everyone wanted into the market back then. at this point, there's little chances of that happening.
