Maybe thats what they want people to think lolYeah could be an exit scam event but more likely they did get hacked as was only about 2Mil stolen. If they were going to exit scam im sure they would have stolen be alot more....
Also !!! : if i remember cryptopia have 2k withdraw limit per day, how hackers manage that ? How they break that system ? as i know cryptopia say " Withdraw limit for security " ..... Another scamm exchange
If a person can hack into the exchange, there is probably a good chance they can change parameters for the site.
Question is what coins did they target. Many shitcoins don't even have private wallets. And a lot of shitcoins are available on very few exchanges so probably no chance to easily move them to another exchange. So I would think the hacker wouldn't be able to grab every coin on the exchange. Probably went for the big ones like BTC, ETH, LTC, etc. you can easily send to a ledger.
Since you can see volume of coins on each exchange, no doubt the hackers already knew exactly what coins they were going for.
Or it could be an exit scam, but New Zealand is a small island. I would think they would revoke the passports immediately for the owners and employees of the company, once the news hit.
and mad. lolAll 10 people who used this exchange are probably pissed off.
You clearly have no idea how's that working, isn't?UPDATE :
LOL 19,391 ETH (2,438,152 USD) transferred from Cryptopia to Unknown wallet

What an exit scam ...
P.S this in only ethereum many users say that 12M in ERC20 and 3.5M in Ethereum was stoled aka "Hacked"
Owner of cryptopia must be very rich now ...

I think you are correct. The police is going to have a hard time to track the criminals. Unless it was an exit scam. Who knows?It's going to be a while before anyone knows.
No doubt, the local police in tiny New Zealand don't even know where to begin with digital forensics. They're going to have to get help from someone, read through a ton of emails, track down former employees, take statements, not to mention an independent audit of the server logs, track down the money which will prob involve other departments, etc.
I'd be surprised if this gets resolved quickly.
