Here's another one . https://globalnews.ca/tag/quadrigacx/ .
"Collapse of Quadriga crypto exchange was ‘old-fashioned fraud wrapped in modern technology’: OSC"
This is like reading a mystery pocket novel , many in's and out's , is the fraudster dead?
The sole holder if all the crypto account people stored with Quadriga cx vanished with the pass words to the 200 million in crypto currencies .
For a real good read google it ,and read the very lengthy account on Wiki .
BTW more evidence pop's up every few months , did the guy fake his own death ? or really dead. What about his wife ? what about his partner who is a convcted ponzi scheme operator ?

allinvain's theft, and thefts by a trojan have been mentioned, but most of the time it's hard to get accurate information and verify them. It's easier to verify if an exchange shuts down due to a hack or an exit scam. Even heists/thefts/hacks/scams of and by exchanges and other services have become too numerous for OP to bother continuing to catalogue.

Hi
This link does not seem to work anymore. Is there any way to still get the data you collected? I would be very interested in having more recent data. Thank you in advance for your time and work. Sorry to bother you with this!

Hats-off to the author who have put in so much of effort in organizing and presenting so valuable data to us. My observation, most of the cases involves exploiting the loopholes of these system (ofcourse with manual interference). Also, I observed the amount is getting lower and lower with time. Is it due to increase in security?
The thread hasn't been updated in a very long time, but the amounts might be getting lower with time only in terms of raw bitcoins, the average real market value of a major scam is much higher than in the early days, which is unsurprising given how many more people use Bitcoin and how much the price has increased.

but still, nice
I'll eventually get it up on a website but Github for now whilst the list is being finished off.
This is what I don't want in cryptocurrency. Many people are taking advantage the system. They hack or scam the people whom just here because of the possibility that they might earn. Many people and even the cryptocurrency itself are destroyed because of the scammy issues happening in our industry. I hope it will be lessen or stopped because even I have the phobia of hacks.
No one else seems to have posted the two Cryptopia hacks, one cluster last year and another more published cluster of hacks this year.
I'm keeping a list of Cryptopia - ONLINE ARTICLES related to hack & theft of funds 2019 it's not an open discussion forum, but there's a link to that open discussion forum in the OP.

BetsOfBitco.in is probably among top 40 - the scammer ran away with funds from unresolved bets.

Thanks so much for information!!! Can you say something about Confideal? I've heard that it's good investment.

This is an important topic. OP should update it.
You can add DirectBet.EU to the list of scammers - closed on the 21st of May 2017, no refunds of bets in play. http://archive.is/KaESc#selection-429.0-435.14
Their UID here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/directbet-207436

With last night's delistings of several coins recently pumped on their exchange, and their subsequent crashes, is Poloniex giving us early warning signs that they are looking to get on this list?
No
Can you upgrade (bitfinex for example) ? Thanks.
Thanks. Jump to:
