why post again this wrong article

Since this is not an official media outlet for Cryptopia but they are the only media website who has first hand experience on the crime scene. We still need to be thankful someone is providing unbiased report directly from the ground.

You're forgetting Radio New Zealand have people on the ground in Christchurch.

Then there's TVNZ https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/nearly-6-million-in-transactions-took-place-early-hours-day-christchurch-cryptocurrency-exchange-cryptopia-suffered-security-breach

and Future Five https://futurefive.co.nz/results?search=cryptopia

...so don't put all your news feeds into the one basket.

https://web.archive.org/web/20190113164519/https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Home/Terms#12

paragraph 12

See 12.1(c)

"Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any rights or remedies a User may have under the Fair Trading Act 1986 or the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993."

And 18.4(a)

"You agree to use our service in accordance with the law in New Zealand and the applicable law in your jurisdiction. Where any of these Terms does not meet the minimum requirement of the law, those terms and conditions are deemed to be amended to the extent of compliance."

Seems like boilerplate lawyer-speak to me: these are our terms, but some of them 'may' be overridden by law, and it's solely up to you (or perhaps the courts) to determine what is or isn't valid.

Regardless, I doubt that a company could legally limit their liability to repay funds held on behalf of customers. Otherwise, they could just close up shop and keep the difference.

The Acts mentioned are the standard consumer protection acts in New Zealand; those clauses are just saying they cannot contract out of the provisions provided by law (which for these laws in particular is correct)

looks like according to the terms of service cryptopia's maximum rembursement to an user for cryptopia's faults is $ 5000 (i think NZD)

Link? Terms and conditions generally cannot override (local jurisdiction) law, so if it turns out that funds were lost through gross negligence or some other corporate no-no then I doubt these limits would apply. Such a limit sounds more like additional compensation (say, via legal action) rather than a hard limit on customers accessing their own funds?

Wasn't this the same newspaper that sensationally reported that Police "stormed" the offices of Cryptopia?

The stuff.co.nz article says,

"Elementus identified the currencies, their value, and the exchanges where they have been traded. Bitcoins were not involved, with the main cryptocurrencies being ethereum, oyster pearl, and dentacoin"

...however the Elementus article clearly says,

"We have not examined the Bitcoin blockchain or other blockchains"

Sloppy.

Police making progress in crypto-currency investigation

I worry that the exchange for more than a week does not give any news/updates. I think that they have some kind of fund and they must return some of the stolen money. Hoping for the best. This is one of the oldest exchanges and I hope he will return.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Cryptopia/comments/aib9ic/on_the_hack/ - Read this.

"After Cryptopia discovered the hack, they watched the funds continue to flow out of their wallets for four more days, seemingly powerless to stop it. As these wallets were not smart contracts, there should have been no technical complications preventing Cryptopia from securing the funds. The only plausible explanation for Cryptopia's inaction is that they no longer had access to their own wallets."

Who knows what financial reserves the company has? Someone threw the news that it received a million profits a day.I would like to get at least half of my amount, but with such news it becomes quite sad.

Is this the end?
Analysts have calculated the extent of unauthorized cryptocurrency transfers at Christchurch-based Cryptopia at more than $23 million

https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/110099560/police-investigators-call-on-overseas-experts-meet-with-cryptopia-staff

Is it really harder to issue an statement. A simple - Hey! Stay put we are patching up and coming back live shortly

Just an FYI - that's 23 million New Zealand dollars, or, $16M US$

Quote

Analysis of what happened has been published by a blockchain software company based in New York called Elementus whose analyst, Max Galta, estimated the unauthorised transfers were valued about US$16m (NZ23m).

(Try to be a bit clearer when quoting please)

Further reading on those $16M worth of Tokens stolen can be found here: https://elementus.io/blog/cryptopia-hack-transparency/

Okay I think I found the Cryptopia's BTC wallet. My deposit there is kinda old and I can't recall 100% if it's the address I deposited was Cryptopia's or another exchange's, but I traced the movement and since the wallet's movements stopped on 14th January I'm 99% sure it's Cryptopia's.

This is their wallet: 3ALZ4ALw2T4jebXXUy8GMv2rLB7JpFL1JD

After many hops between 1-use addresses, I find a big amount of funds consecrated here: 12YBZCaPe45LFbvgYWP5AVm3pvZTtHTiNY
This was a new address created on 13th January.
It seems that after gathering BTC from different Cryptopia's wallets, summing 392.31 BTC, they sent a "test" transaction of 3 BTC on 14th January and 10 minutes later they sent all the amount to the same address.

From that point on, it seems like the funds were split to multiple addresses, probably many of which are exchanges.

Your thoughts? Anything I missed maybe?

I can provide transactions towards my cryptopia deposit address if some1 is interested. now that address is empty.

if you're right, other 14M$ in BTC have been stolen? I had 99% of my funds in BTC.

I think bankruptcy is right out there.

The $14M in BitCoin above and this $13M from ETH (tokens) listed on this page: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cryptopia/comments/ag75rs/cryptopia_hack_analysis_min_13000000_stolen/ plus a few other cryptos ( LTC $1M https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49253290 ) - ( not to mention any other Coin not listed yet) we're looking at $28M confirmed and probably ~ $30M all up.
