They're making the verification process next to impossible. They notify you using the email you signed up with and you need to remember your username. You also need to know your last transaction and when you signed up.

Who remembers all that. Then you have to pass a very strict KYC. They want your full name with ID and bank information as well as a detailed transaction history. How would anyone know all of this information

They're doing it on purpose so nobody claims they're coins and they can steal them and sell them off for profits. They'll tell the judge that the users never claimed their coins when they know we couldn't because they made it nearly impossible to claim them.

To make it worse I'll bet they have not contacted any of the developers to make sure the wallets are updated. You cannot withdraw coins from a wallet using out of date software. These clowns at Grant Thornton are pure thieves and criminals and the New Zealand court will allow it to happen.

Are they going to send registration letters for refund because I am reading first time any update about this please give link related to this news.

has anyone already received a registration letter to claim a refund ? I haven't received it yet

Oh man indeed googling this name is enlightening ! "Controversial businessman", involved in real estate, politics, "coaches" people, the list goes on ! Stay far away.

Yeb it is and why should you pay them 6$ for the service that they offer even its not allowed from the NZ Law that they doing this what they write on there webpage !
And also this guy that runs the Cryptopia Rescue Website " victor cattermole " is a knowen scammer .

Would be quick money for him if 1 Million Users pay him 6 $ for a service that he not realy cant do because there is no contract between him and the Liquidators.

@Lafu : looks even like a scam to me, this Cryptopia Rescue. And wanting to prioritize some users over others is totally wrong.

We would suggest you visit www.fma.govt.nz where you may find some information or assistance on the matter.

There is an Update from the Liquidators that was coming out just a few Minutes !
Looks like this Cryptopia Rescue is not an offical thing !

From the Liquidators:

Cryptopia Rescue is encouraging members to contribute to their scheme by paying a monetary contribution as a means of forcing us to work with them to supposedly fast track repayment of funds to certain users ahead of others, which is not in line with New Zealand Law.

We must warn that anyone outside of the official communication channels claiming to have access to the confidential information or offering to tell account holders what balances are in their accounts is doing so without the Liquidators' authority.  This includes Cryptopia Rescue. Please be wary of any such approaches and note that any communications relating to the Liquidation will come from the official channels such as the Grant Thornton website, or the Grant Thornton and Cryptopia Facebook and Twitter accounts.

I kinda agree with Dr Who here, share what you received, even if its just a write up of how pretty NZ is. I don't believe you received anything from this banana republic.

With just thirteen merits... I don't think so.  More likely is that you never received any response, or, they told you to contact G&T.  Would I be right?

Keep the faith - bump this thread.

Yeah this situation is really ridiculous. If BTC ever goes back to 10000$ or less I'm buying 0.2BTC (what I still have on cryptopia, or should I say had ?) and write this off completely.

I had a business partner for several years from NZ and I respect it but I hate when lawyers can manipulate and
essentially steal from people with less power.

banana republic:  "a small nation, especially in Central America, dependent on one crop or the influx of foreign capital."

Well, it's the government's responsibility eventually if this Grant Thornton group is allowed to charge 150K a month forever.
Don't they have some oversight of it?  Read the website listed.  

There are some pretty big taxes the NZ is getting on the Grant Thornton money.  

NZ look like a "banana republic"

I live in NZ and if I received a letter with that statement I'd think of the composer as a condescending jerk.

I'm not going to be dragged into your trolling.   There was nothing he said that was of any real interest.  You can get your own responses.  I don't appreciate your hostile attitude.  I think I've brought a lot of civility to this forum which has had a lot of really vile posts over the years.  That's not to say I haven't made friends and been a part of a lot of great teams.  It's just I'm not going to sink to the level of responding to your questioning.

Had you received a response from the New Zealand Consulate you would have shared it's contents with us here in the Forum.

I have a BA in English Composition.  Maybe you better go back to school?

I got a nice reply from the consulate. 

Do you really want to insult the very people you are going cap-in-hand for help to?

You might want to hold off writing any such letter until someone who is a native English speaker has had a chance to review and amend the shocking grammar (which may be sort of ok for an on line forum) and clarifies what you are actually wanting them to do on your behalf.

You might want to go back and read the last dozen pages and see that Judgements have been made and reported on here in this thread.

I can tell you now its cup day here in Christchurch and traditionally a time for the stuck up hooty tooty crowd to dress up and talk wank at Riccarton race course. And this is a slow wind down to xmas and then reopen again end of Jan. Yep a 3 month window where lawyers do fuck all in this part of the world.

Can guarantee nothing more will be announced until the new year, so here's to signing out and see ya'll 2021.

What lessons can be learned from this whole disaster? I think keeping liquidators out is essential but if the day comes when there is no alternative then those liquidators or administrators that charge the lowest fee and have an excellent reputation are the ones that should be on the shortlist.

Grant Thornton have done themselves no favours since getting involved with this Cryptopia issue, sure they have made a lot of money for doing very little work in comparison but I think their reputation is in tatters so their short-term greed will probably not be worth it in the long run.

Just called the NZ consulate and they told me to write them here: [email protected]

You might write them also.

Dear Consulate Staff,

There has been a hack of a large cryptocurrency exchange in NZ as you may know.
I feel the way that the authorities of NZ is policing the overseeing of this has been poor.
It is making NZ look like a "banana republic" in a way, and definitely appearing to allow
corruption, the taking away of funds from one person to another (in this case a high powered
legal team) and no oversight for the common good.

According to www.cryptopiarescue.com

"Did you know that the Liquidator…
Still has $4.7 million in cash reserves and is in no hurry to wind up the liquidation (he has reported his fees are $150k per month)
Has no cost-effective solution to be able to return all the coins to all of the wallet holders.
Could apply to the court for a ruling to enable him to dump the majority of coins, or sell them on the market and distribute cash, which would crash the value of many of the Alt coins.
Does not have any suitable infrastructure to aid in the distribution of everyone’s coins. Has no 3rd party representing account holders to keep him accountable."

Please help us respect your country and stop spreading an inevitable negative image of it.  Please help
people get repaid the honest money that is due to them.

Let me know your thoughts.

Kind regards,
