It's very sad to see this happening, it will sure take a lot of time for the investigation and hopefully in the end there will be something to give back to customers. Thanks a lot for keep updating this thread.

This comedy movie is over. IT IS AN EXIT SCAM!!!

There wasn't enough volume because they froze so many coins and blocked withdrawals and deposits. Previously they had quite a nice volume from coins which were unique to them or strongly associated with them: ETN for example was top volume most of the time. But for volume, there must be deposits. Which were blocked. This simple fact undermines the rest of your theory of goodwill.

By the looks of things, the element of premeditation is pretty strong and there's sufficient arguments to point to an exit scam. Please contradict me: post the TX of the "hacked" funds. BTW, how much was actually "hacked"? No one outside of them knows. If it was a hack, which now, after all this, I don't believe it was.

And there's another aspect: all the wording so far points to voluntary liquidation. BUT you don't actually need liquidators to voluntary liquidate: you just end all contracts, cease activity and return all assets of third parties. But you turn to liquidators when you don't have all the assets. So after the haircut they still don't have all owed assets? How funny. Where is the rest, dudes?

Exit scam.

My personal opinion is that II don't believe it is. I believe it is a way they can legally get out of their building lease, leased servers, employment contracts and other obligations that over time will cost unnecessary $ and get a fair and legal way to return funds and preserving value. It is clear from the reported volume that there is not enough volume on the exchange to continue trading and cover expenses.

Currently it is in the hands of liquidators that have statutory powers and they have indicated they will seek the courts approval for certain matters regarding distribution of funds. https://www.grantthornton.co.nz/faqs-cryptopia-liquidation/

While I don't think all issues will be resolved but I think the bulk of the issues will be resolved within a reasonable timeframe. From what I have read is that it is likely that they will seek the courts approval to return crypto assets via withdrawal. This would require some legal approval because it depends on whether the courts see it as being held on behalf of customers or as a company asset.

The most logical and easiest way forward would be to consider it "held on behalf of customers" since it is easily identifiable, held separately, and preserves the best value.
(some of the alts would have no value in a fire-sale). Court approval would allow this to happen.
It also will provide funds to allow this to happen and allow them to hire independent experts to make this happen

Personally I feel more confident in liquidators (who are legally recognized as experts in such matters) making those decisions rather than things just dragging on for months unresolved.

The method in which Cryptopia has previously treated the funds (i.e. providing marker tokens for lost funds & their TOS) also indicates that it is the most likely path they will pursue. Under New Zealand law crypto is considered "digital property". This is distinctly different from Japan where it is considered "currency".

btw, dont expect your money or funds back ever, this is mt.gox scale stuff

So many warnings since the ex-CEO's emotional letter last year.
Someone told me Christchurch thinks that all sins are forgiven because JC forgives all sins.
Presumably they will say that they have sold the remainder of the few tradable coins at a low price. Payment of the remainder less high fees, after many months, if anything remains.

I've been posting updates here since the hack.

The exchange has no right to keep the assets of the customers. Their business is based on trading fees and listing fees. They have demonstrated to all they are liars and thieves and have looked after their own interests before those of the customers. They could have easily allowed people to withdraw their funds in an ordered way but chose to get money for themselves first.

It is useless for blocked coins.

i know what you mean,
but if everyone did that, there would be no exchanges, no liquidity to sell or buy your coins, no significant markets excepts OTC..

Lesson learned,
 
Cryptopia is the definition of Counter-Party Risk. And  counter-party risk is still the biggest risk in a blockchain transaction.


What should have I done: Desktop, Paper, Hardware wallets.

(Chanting in the background)
Desktop, Paper, Hardware wallets!
Desktop, Paper, Hardware wallets!
Desktop, Paper, Hardware wallets!

Never again will I leave money/coins at an exchange.

Cryptopia is just stealing the rest of our coins to cover its loss.
I cant believe that they done that with nz police helping them.
I think they hacked again and this is an excuse to shut down the exchange forever.

Say bye to your funds because they are scammers. nz police are scammer backers. I offer to start a bounty campaign and have justice...

Criminals must be punished most severely

I do not wish to drag you people backward but i read a lot of articles about users not able to withdraw their funds due to the hack and i think it should not work that way, cryptopia makes money off traders when they trade and withdraw funds, their problems should not be shifted  to the users who does not enjoy any free trading and withdrawal fees.

Those liquidators and " Experts " will take their sweet time getting paid by the hour .. so when the money is pretty much all gone expect results not before ..

They robbed us ..  People depositing after btc ltc dodge reopen should probably teamup for a lawsuit .. they took in money right up until the moment they closed it down ..

This whole thing stinks to high heaven they knew the second they would open Alts for withdraw pretty much everything would leave the exchange that very second .. so they just strung us along for 4 months.

I think that is unlikely. They have indicated publicly that it will take some time to sort out.

It is likely that they will seek specialist advise & court approval as to how to handle the liquidation.
