better everyday ♥
OP should change the thread title, as it's not $387 Million but $8.1 Million lost:

$8.1mill is a lot, but there's a huge difference with 9 figures as opposed to 7 figure losses.

Terminated.
If this so-called exchange was so large (based on the amounts lost), why hasn't anyone mentioned anything about them until now?
Because it was a scam operation that actually didn't do anything.

Why does the title say 387$ million ? Doesn't sound like nothing.
That sounds like they are good at deploying scams and have fooled a high number of investors. That's about it.

"The Hong Kong Monetary Authority said in a statement late Monday that the case “may involve fraud or pyramid schemes,” adding: “Given the highly speculative nature of Bitcoin, we have all along urged the public to exercise extra caution when considering making transactions or investments with Bitcoin.”

crazy amounts of coins being taken even at $1000 price estimates.  add up all the thefts and it's quite a significant chunk.

seems people don't care where they get coin as long as they can get more.

so many sources are wrong on this story, it's incredible tbh.

Mycoin HK offered a ponzi scheme contract which was paid in FIAT currency, no one ever invested a single Bitcoin into this scam.

All investors were promsied a guaranteed 90 Bitcoin payout when their contract matured.

http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/mycoinhk-packages-fiat-currency-ponzi-scheme-as-guaranteed-bitcoin-payout

Yes at the end all the investors lost only the HK Dollars and not bitcoin. We have seen this bad news didn't affect the bitcoin price (check the various charts)  because no one bitcoin "has been dumped".

Why are you always so negative about Bitcoin?
I remember when the price fell below $200 you made this thread : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/who-is-coming-to-funeral-of-bitcoin-rip-bitcoin-924379 with the title "Who is coming to funeral of Bitcoin |RIP BITCOIN"

It's as if you want it to be dead??
