@Lafu

Are you in control of the Twitter feed? If not, who is? Is this a formal statement from the directors of Cryptopia? If so, who's hand is it signed under?

"The police are continuing to investigate this crime and as a result, we have had no direct access to our systems since the breach."

This may explain how funds continued to move even after the exchange went into unscheduled maintenance and Police were brought in. When a server has had its keys compromised, shutting it down is NOT enough!


ye but people Running a fing exchange should have known that .. fgs .

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger
If the cryptopia hacker can't spend the stolen funds maybe cryptopia could offer the hacker 10 pct of the total too return it i don't know how something like that would work but it's worth a try I'm sure cryptopia users be way happier too lose maybe 10 pct and get there accounts back if possible just a thought I'm sure it's pretty hard too execute a plan like that but desperate times. Desperate measures

Honor among thieves huh? Roll Eyes
I like the idea, though I don't see it happening!

It is confirmed real. It is a generic letter that was sent to people who had contacted the police regarding the Cryptopia investigation.

An official sounding message asking you to fill out the attached questionnaire sounds more like a phishing attempt.

What is the original source of this message? What details does it ask for?

a group of Christchurch lawyers

lol posting that link (anyway, the message is old 2018) we just did a small step towards bankuptcy that is a defeat for everyone in my opinion. I hope no one has intention of envolving lawyers, they just completely fucked up Bitgrail situation.

This is most likely a lie, someone threw this picture into the tweeter and all got lost. It is not in official sources.

From cryptopia discord from the ceo.

For those who are querying the NZ Police e-mails referred to, they are legitimate and are copied to me by NZ Police. We will respond when we have substantive facts to report when the investigators give us approval. Until then we are tied as the authorities do not want us to make any statements that might by accident exacerbate the situation and cause more damage.

I am afraid now we can consider cryptopia case as lost Sad
There is a list of stolen cryptocurrencies (with amounts)  https://github.com/elementus-io/cryptopia-hack/blob/master/README.md
It is about $16M USD overalll and with current market condition I cannot be optimistic Sad

so no BTC stolen? Uhhmmm...

If the cryptopia hacker can't spend the stolen funds maybe cryptopia could offer the hacker 10 pct of the total too return it i don't know how something like that would work but it's worth a try I'm sure cryptopia users be way happier too lose maybe 10 pct and get there accounts back if possible just a thought I'm sure it's pretty hard too execute a plan like that but desperate times.

Be careful with who you communicate with. With situations like this phishers and scammers try to take advantage of the uncertainty. Make sure that when you communicate with the police that you use the contact form on their website or their email finishes with  @police.govt.nz

Same applies with to Cryptopia emails. @cryptopia.co.nz.  Make sure they are not phishing scams.

Do not use links in emails or answer "questionaires" that give away private details unless you are certain that you are talking to the right people.


Genuine authorities or exchanges will never ask for your password or private keys.
