Cryptopia went into liquidation in May last year after a $24 million hack. More than $60,000 worth of cryptocurrency has reportedly been stolen from international currency exchange Cryptopia, despite the company being in liquidation following a $24 million hack. 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. The exchange was holding cryptocurrencies worth about $170m and had 800,000 account holders with a positive coin balance. A decision for the account holders meant creditors would get about half of what they were owed.
