Title: [2018-02-28] Class Actions Mount as Coincheck Lingers Over Crypto Heist Refunds
Post by: PIMPdev on February 28, 2018, 12:32:09 PM
Coincheck, the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange that saw major losses in a recent hack, is reportedly being hit by another lawsuit demanding refund of cryptocurrency assets.

According to Japanese media outlet Sankei, an additional 132 investors have joined a class action suit filed with the Tokyo District Court on Feb. 27 that seeks a refund of about 228 million yen (around $2.1 million) in cryptocurrency.

The new case again puts Coincheck in the spotlight once more, as the exchange has yet to disclose details of how it plans to compensate victims who saw some $530 million-worth of NEM tokens stolen from the exchange on Jan. 26.
