Hats-off to the author who have put in so much of effort in organizing and presenting so valuable data to us. My observation, most of the cases involves exploiting the loopholes of these system (ofcourse with manual interference). Also, I observed the amount is getting lower and lower with time. Is it due to increase in security?

The thread hasn't been updated in a very long time, but the amounts might be getting lower with time only in terms of raw bitcoins, the average real market value of a major scam is much higher than in the early days, which is unsurprising given how many more people use Bitcoin and how much the price has increased.

If anyone is still monitoring this thread, I have continued on this list via a Github repo which I invite you all to come contribute any scams, hacks, thefts etc. that I have missed.

Hi

This link does not seem to work anymore. Is there any way to still get the data you collected? I would be very interested in having more recent data. Thank you in advance for your time and work. Sorry to bother you with this!

I’d like to see something similar but with coins not and scam projects

allinvain's theft, and thefts by a trojan have been mentioned, but most of the time it's hard to get accurate information and verify them. It's easier to verify if an exchange shuts down due to a hack or an exit scam. Even heists/thefts/hacks/scams of and by exchanges and other services have become too numerous for OP to bother continuing to catalogue.

Here's another one . https://globalnews.ca/tag/quadrigacx/ .

"Collapse of Quadriga crypto exchange was ‘old-fashioned fraud wrapped in modern technology’: OSC"
 This is like reading a mystery pocket novel , many in's and out's , is the fraudster dead?
The sole holder if all the crypto account people stored with Quadriga cx vanished with the pass words to the 200 million in crypto currencies .
For a real good read google it ,and read the very lengthy account on Wiki .
BTW more evidence pop's up every few months , did the guy fake his own death ? or really dead. What about his wife ? what about his partner who is a convcted ponzi scheme operator ?
