Investors trusted the organization and they backstab and now Karma plays its part. This is how these scammers should be dealt with and good job by Dutch police. I hope all 10,000 investors get their initial investment back it will take time for sure but I am certain that they will get their invested ETH back. I am not sure but why would a gambling startup think scamming can be more profitable than gambling?

If it was a smart contract, many customers will have big problems proving ownership of coins, and many customers will prefer not to go to the police to avoid unnecessary questions.
Such assets mostly remain in the country's budget.
