What was your experiences from previous hacks? I remember having heard of other exchanges being hacked in the past but reopening and I think most if not all exchanges had paid back people.
Check Cryptsy case. Most likely Topia goes that route too. Never heard of this exchange... which foreshadows what I'm going to find out if I google it lol ! It doesn't exist anymore huh? Some hacked exchanges reopened and slowly paid all affected users back from the exchange's profits. Others (including cryptsy) went bankrupt and affected users had to wait years for the receivers to pay them a small amount of their losses back. In a few cases exchanges quickly reopened and the owners covered the loss themselves. Cryptopia is registered in New Zealand, so New Zealand laws and regulations will dicate what its options are. I don't know if they allow it to reopen and slowly pay users back from the exchange's profits.

I do not understand you...... You talking about around 3m loss in cryptocurrency (only Erc20 token), but nodoby dont talking about other coins (BTC,LTC,DOGE,XMR etc.) which have much more value than that loss (much more)! And ok I will understand any move from Cryptopia about loss coins (slowly paid all affected users etc.), but what about people which have other coins not affected coins?! You're putting all traders in same case?! That is not same at all!
Right question is, what will be with that users how they to withdraw coins?

Exactly. Or, begin to trade them again. They have a responsibility to stay open because small developers paid them to list and host their coins for trading.

Maybe they are being forced to shut down and the NZ government is creating a fund? They couldn't be hacking themselves with that level of scrutiny. How do you know that's Cryptopia addresses?

Sorry, this is not hacking, but scammers inside the exchange. The address is published in another post, it is associated with a hot wallet of Cryptopia. Look at the dates! January 14-17, there is cause for concern.

bitgrail is awaiting court decision after months of hearings, they probably will go bankrupcy and ppl's money will be blocked for years (in italy things are slow) if cryptopia too will go bankrupt, good bye also tu unaffected funds.

And, I think, the New Zealand government wanted to sneeze on overseas traders. The police go to sleep, and a friendly team of 100 people continues to work, 1.5 million accounts and each must be given 10 minutes. In a week they will finish. On the monitors we will see ERROR404.

I am not sure if this information is confirmed, but I have heard that about $3M has been stolen. It is not little amount, but for such a large exchange as Cryptopia it should not be a deadly amount.
An interesting announcement appeared this morning in the "digital goods" section. Someone wanted to sell a database from Cryptopia. This announcement is no longer available, because it is prohibited to sell hacked items on the forum, so we can not verify it. It might as well have been a fake, or a joke.

IMO.
Cryptopia should've posted all their addresses on here, and let experienced crypto users dig in those chains, instead of a police department, which doesn't know the difference between bitcoin and blockchain.

They didnt even bother to send automatic email to users about hack so it seems they dont give a fuck about us. Dont think we will see any chaegeback even from untouched wallets (if such exists)

There's no point of doing that. You already know it happened. They tweeted about it, posted it on their homepage, reddit, etc. They have millions of users, so that email you're talking about costs, a lot.

I REALLY hope you're not right. I confirm that after a deposit my btc are moved to 3ALZ4ALw2T4jebXXUy8GMv2rLB7JpFL1JD if 389 BTC have been hacked, it's another 1.5 million dollars stolen, still not a catastrophic loss IMO. chances we have been mtgoxxed (our funds lost for years or forever) increase every day. Running an exchange is the job of the future: you make profits on someone else's money, and when you make a mistake, you lose someone else's money.
