This isn’t the first time the EOS community has been duped. https://decrypt.co/26450/eos-based-wallet-vanishes-taking-52-million-with-it If they have been identified that it is going to Huobi exchanges then perhaps there's still time to recoup everything? Or it is late already? Well, $52 million is huge amount and we doesn't want to hear any case of crypto enthusiast losing their money again.

Quote The exchange has since pledged to freeze the funds as soon as they're discovered. AFAIK, Huobi has withdrawal limit and there's still time to freeze that funds. How much withdraw limit also depends on the which tier that has already achieved by the account.

I think team need to do their own wallet that can easily understand by user's so no one will use other 3rd party wallet. It sad to see that kind of news its not small money to lost from investors and the bad side about it is, it will also lost the trust of people who believe in EOS future.

On a more serious note, EOS needs to have their own wallet built by the team which users can easily use and be at peace, all these third-party wallets, some are not easily understandable while some are fraudulent, a good example is this one. Having a platform's wallet, solves these issues.

I believe that this is all to be expected.

Is this CPU and RAM thing is the same as what XRP is implementing with their wallets? The reserve balance of having 20 XRP? I'm completely ignorant of EOS since it didn't catch my attention.The article has already mentioned it. Quote The exchange has since pledged to freeze the funds as soon as they're discovered.
