No news still??? The site is the same since January 14. Cryptopia didn't even bother to send a follow up to its users, so we are all in the dark at this point... I'm starting to seriously doubt if I'm going to see my coins ever again 
subscribing to this thread - fingers crossed they get sorted soon and not all is lost!
The hacker sent some DAPS token to mercatox and was successfully sold/traded in the platform. And asking money to stop the hacker.

Though I'm not sure if the one who replied is a support staff from mercatox, but if not then mercatox should be penalize as for money laundering.

not sure on the details behind the screenshot, but the response looks like it's from a low level customer service rep. it might not represent their actual policies.
did cryptopia or the NZ police publish blockchain data about the stolen funds? addresses, types of coins that were taken, etc? i'm guessing not. if the only evidence is twitter detectives tracking funds on the blockchain, they may not be in trouble for money laundering. but who knows? there's not much precedent for this stuff.

I though it might be wallets controlled by Cryptopia as well, but if you trace the next transactions you'll notice that the funds keep moving and splitting between multiple wallets.
i don't know the logic behind it, but i remember when btc-e went down in 2017, they did the same thing when they set up new wallets---lots of moving and splitting into smaller lots. they later refunded the crypto (minus the cost of their lost USD funds).
Shouldn't the funds have been frozen while the police investigates if it was in Cryptopia's control?
This action looks more like hackers splitting the heist to multiple wallets and multiple exchanges.

tbh, i think the police would advise them to secure the coins in new wallets. i think the wallet activity we're looking at might be exactly that. not sure though.....
From reading around reports seem to state that only Ether and Erc 20 token created on their platform were taken.
Elementus have a chart showing what coins they think have been taken and the amount, although i don't know the accuracy of there research.

yes, those are the coins that were stolen, and we know for sure those coins won't come back. But the damage doesn't stop there.
Any company like cryptopia needs their daily profits to continue and honor its engagements; things like loans, rent, salaries, electricty, lawyer fees all continue to pile up while the New Zealand police sorts this out. Right now, we know that profits are not coming in, and we know this justice process will take a few months to a year.
Sorry guys, but they will auction off the depositor's coin in lots, and use the proceeds to pay back these debts piling up; unless of course the owners of Cryptopia step up and pay this out of their own pockets (which has also happened in the past, by the way).
It is essential that any sustainable trading scheme somehow repatriates the profits back to safety on a daily basis; a good coin trading strategy simply cannot allow a trader to leave coin at an exchange. Sooner or later things like this will happen.
I thought everyone got major learning by hacked off cryptopia. You never and ever leave your coins on exchanges or webwallets. Sooner or later you're gonna lose money. You might use a wallet for storage, a place you have control over it. You are only transferring to an exchange if you plan to sell.
that works for long term trader or investor, but not for daily trader if you are trying to make money by trading everyday, you will need to keep your coins on the exchanges
depositing/withdrawing everyday would be cumbersome, time consuming, and very costly
On another thread I did an amateurish search to see what's Cryptopia's BTC wallets look like... I don't like what I see but could someone more experienced than me check my findings and let me know if I've made a mistake somewhere or if indeed the Cryptopia's BTC wallets were also hacked alongside ETH?
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?

that may have been cryptopia consolidating and securing its bitcoins into new wallets. the "test" transaction followed by full consolidation of the funds is indicative of that. that would be my first guess unless you're seeing the split funds enter other exchanges.
every report i've seen says it was ETH and ERC20 tokens---not bitcoin---that were stolen.

...
On a 2nd though... there's also the possibility that Cryptopia sent their funds to another exchange for security. Being unsure which of their wallets are safe, they might decided to send them to a 3rd party who is then moving the funds like usual.

I think they sell the tokens in the other exchanges and after they got BTC, they send it to another wallet. Maybe if we investigated deeply for each wallet, we could know on where exchanges the bitcoin has already send so we can send information to the exchange to freeze the account of that wallet. I think cryptopia needs to fix their bug and find the other if on the website still have a hole in their security

How long have other exchanges that got hacked taken to reopen?
I think my coins might still be within the exchange

It is possible to see if actual coins (not shit eth tokens) were moved from their cryptopia wallets?
If those coins are there then the owners will be allowed to withdraw them.
This is not as yet a cryptsy type scenario is it?
Is there a thread with a full analysis of this hack using block explorers for actual coins listed there?

C'mon man, you know how that goes in the Crypto world... those coins will be auctioned off to pay for lawyer fees and other parasites' claims.
Why do people leave coin at exchanges.
There is a new update from New Zealand Police Official Website, But Im Not Surprise on the details given in the news article,im expecting that cryptopia will start the operation again. https://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/police-making-progress-crypto-currency-investigation

hmmmm so this is reason why their website maintance i worried my asset
i worried my asset There have been so many exchanges hacked in the past year, Cryptopia is just the last one.
I think that the market has a need for practices for greater security and greater guarantees to open up to mass adoption and to the common investor.
Those of the previous hacked I think is just an inside job which is possible in every crypto exchange. More security is a must, so the investors will have the peace of mind to keep the money on the exchanges. I hope for that this will be the last and hope that bigger exchanges learn from this. I think that the market has a need for practices for greater security and greater guarantees to open up to mass adoption and to the common investor.
