Claims process

Since the Claims portal was launched in early December 2020, we have sent an email to all 960,000 account holders who had positive account balances according to Cryptopia’s Records. Over 57% by value of account holders have interacted with us in some way. The claims process is still at stage 1 of the below process:

ProcessDetails1. Claims registrationAllows the registration of account holders' details and to make claims for their account balances2. Identity verificationVerifies account holders' identities to the necessary verification standard3. Asset transferInstigates asset transfers to account holders
•While we have a significant number of claimants registering successfully, we appreciate that there are also a number who require support to complete the registration process. This is reflected by the number of tickets being raised through our customer support portal. We have taken on additional support staff to assist account holders to complete the registration process. We assure you that we will action all outstanding tickets prior to moving to stage 3 of the process.
•If you are having issues with the registration please refer to the ‘Update for Cryptopia Claimants & Common Portal Errors 16 December 2020'.
•We intend to carry out a further promotion of the portal to accountholders to encourage increased participation and will send a further email inviting account holders to register their details on the portal. We have received a number of emails and calls from account holders claiming that they had not received an email. In the majority of cases we were able to confirm to the account holders that they had received an email. Please double check your email spam folder to check whether you have been contacted.
•The next stage of the claim process 2 ‘Identity verification’ will be launched in the next couple of months, with the asset transfer stage to follow on from this. However, the transfer stage will require the input and approval of the Court particularly in relation to the following: •Approving a distribution model that reflects the nature of stakeholders’ property
•Confirming what is to be done with unclaimed Crypto-assets
•Setting a cut-off date for claims to be received and assessed


Sealed orders
•In this update we provide service of orders in respect of realisation of digital assets. We have received orders allowing us to convert 80 BTC into fiat currency to meet the reasonable cost and expenses of and incidental to the protection, preservation, recovery, management, and administration of any Cryptocurrency.
•A copy of the sealed orders can be found here [ 614 kb ].

Looks like they just took 80 BTC from us.  That's a rather hefty chunk.

That 80 was part of the Cryptopia coffers. They cannot touch our coins its held in trust.

They can touch the coins, sell them, move them, make use of the actual coins in the wallet however they want.  They just cannot legally change your balance in the database to account for it now.
So another 80 BTC taken from the customer wallet means 80 BTC less to reconcile balances with later.

Like the haircut done by the owners before liquidation allowed them to steal from users the value of the hack in each crypto by adjusting their balances and freeing up those amounts for company use.

There is a group called Cryptopia Rescue on Twitter - https://twitter.com/CryptopiaRescue

They have said that this latest spend of bitcoins could be possibly illegal action by the liquidator Grant Thornton.

The liquidator of
@Cryptopia_NZ
 needs to be held accountable in court. His actions are possibly illegal but unless we join together he will never be held to account. If affected you need to join us.

Just simple and already have written that in one of my posts in the past if your account has got no Coins in it when Cryptopia was going into Liquidation,
then you will be not receive an email for the Claim Portal .
If you still havnt got an Email and there is a Balance on your Account you should be write to the Supportteam on the supportpage to get the Claim Portal registration email.

Cryptopia doesn't/didn't have 80 BTC in their coffers. We likely paid that.

and they can fail any account holders AML/KYC requirements and take their coins.  they are soo greedy that now they are not wait until the end stages, they raid wallets now because they know can fail customer claims later to get more money allocated for themselves and the creditors (these are directors, shareholders, contractors and staff, but NOT include customers).

from https://www.cryptopiarescue.com/post/grant-thornton-wants-to-sell-your-coins-to-fund-their-fees

Grant Thornton also asked the court in a sworn affidavit for directions to sell the coins of account holders that failed to claim or meet the registration requirements on the liquidator, and the proceeds of those sales be assigned as company property, effectively to further fund the liquidator.

Some others have commented that CryptopiaRescue are scammers because they are doing what anyone can do and charging a fee for it, but they also unearthing some of the dirty secrets of Cryptopia and Grant Thornton.
Where are the people who ran and destroyed Cryptopia?  They are in hiding because thats all they have to do wait and they will get very nice payday at the end of this scam - a payday most likely to be funded largely from the "failed" account holder coins.

CryptopiaRescue has discovered from the Cryptopia balance sheets that before the liquidation $13 million of coins disappeared!

What are the chances the founders of Cryptopia will be dragged back in to this issue with a view to some law enforcement agency finding them negligent and hold them responsible criminally?

Have you noticed how silent "self proclaimed" employee BenTheAnonMod has been over the last twelve months?

Or the two other "official representatives" of Cryptopia that Trolled this thread until very recently?  (I wonder why they've been so quiet eh?)

[JollyGood]

I never really noticed BenTheAnonMod in the past so it means he was not doing a good job being the public face of Cryptopia if many members here have no recollection of him but if he was an employee surely he could post here with empathy. He was last online here in January 2020.

Here are the Cryptopia creators Rob Dawson and Adam Clark promoting their now failed Cryptopia exchange.

I wonder if their roles in to the collapse of the exchange will be looked in to again by New Zealand police. Maybe they will be interviewed under caution or simply by being asked to voluntarily make statements about what happened back then that led to the closure of Cryptopia.

LOlZ
Just now the Authorities pick up on the fishy smell, maybe

Cryptopia went into liquidation in May 2019 after a hacker stole $24m – 15 per cent of Cryptopia clients’ digital currency stock, made up of about 900 different currencies including bitcoin. It is regarded as the biggest theft in New Zealand history.

The exchange was holding cryptocurrencies worth about $170m and had 800,000 account holders with a positive coin balance.

So Grant is holding $142m of clients coin?
Has there ever been an itemized invoice?

[JollyGood]

I thought I replied to this earlier.

Thank you for the links. You put a lot of effort in to your thread highlighting and capturing details about the scam, all readers and victims should have a look at it.

I cannot understand how the New Zealand police decided to not prosecute Dawson and/or Clark. If they were not guilty of orchestrating and conducting the scam and nobody else could be proven then does that mean the Auckland police should call in a neighbouring police force to carry out a review of the whole process and see if they can question potential perpetrators?

That all changed in January last year when persons unknown hacked into the company's system and shunted about $24 million of the exchange's $250m store of cryptocurrencies out of reach.

So ... Grant holds $226M (2019 value)?
Liquidated $3m of client assets "to fund the recovery".

No worse.

The company had $1m in the bank and $5m in a third party trust account. The liquidators converted the company's 344 bitcoin to $4.4m cash.

The $6m cash covers all the creditors. 

The bonus sale of BTC covers Grants fees.  And is worth $19M if they held it 
Also sale of the office/computers made $2m.

So where are the clients $250m?
