A part of the missing assets of the canadian cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX are likely to be on Poloniex and Bitfinex. This was reported report in by authors of Zerononcense blog. The authors of the report claim that they were able to track transfers in the amount of 649 708 ETH (about $100.4 million at the time of operations). They detected 12 Ethereum wallets, which, according to their assumption, belonged to QuadrigaCX, and noticed that the last transactions from them had been carried out on December 8, 2018, that is, the day before the death of the founder of the exchange Gerald Cotten: However, it is impossible to guarantee that these assets are still on these exchanges. Recall that in February it became known that the QuadrigaCX exchange lost access to user funds for $190 million ($137 million in cryptocurrencies and $53 million in fiat). This amount due to previously unaccounted obligations may, however, be higher by $6 million. Researchers from Coinbase was able to detect clusters that more likely were QuadrigaCX’ cold storages. According to analysts, the funds were transferred manually, and the withdrawal was completed in early 2018. |
