As a seasoned researcher who has witnessed countless cases of digital asset mishaps, I find myself observing this unfolding drama with a mix of intrigue and concern. The court’s decision to grant WazirX a four-month moratorium, under the condition of full transparency, seems like a necessary step towards restoring trust and order in the crypto ecosystem.
According to reports, a Singapore court has apparently given an extension of four months to the Indian cryptocurrency platform WazirX, in response to their plea for a short-term delay.
The moratorium, however, comes with some conditions, including full transparency of the exchange’s wallet addresses and financial records.
Court’s Conditions
Following the significant hack on my platform, WazirX, in July which led to a theft of approximately $234 million and impacted around 45% of our customers’ funds, I am now required to meet certain conditions. As per a statement verified by CoinDesk, these terms involve submitting a sworn court affidavit detailing all wallet addresses linked to WazirX.
Moreover, the exchange must make public their financial records within six weeks and address all user inquiries during this timeframe. Furthermore, the court has ordered that any future decisions be made on a neutral voting platform, to maintain fairness.
According to the ruling judge, the exchange demonstrated “honest intentions” by requesting the moratorium, recognizing the steps taken to safeguard its creditors during a financial predicament. Additionally, she recommended that the company think about revealing any assets that are not related to cryptocurrencies.
Initially asking for a six-month pause from the Singapore High Court, one of India’s largest cryptocurrency trading platforms, WazirX, aimed to organize its recovery process. Nischal Shetty, the company’s creator, also justified their quick decision to file for this moratorium.
We promptly applied for the moratorium as a crucial action to establish the quickest, most equitable, court-sanctioned route towards resolution. This process allows creditors a minimal option for participation and the opportunity to benefit if market conditions improve significantly.
Although the company is taking strides to secure legal compensation and find a solution, it’s likely that customers will have limited opportunities to receive reimbursement in cryptocurrency, as suggested by their legal counselors.
Exploiter Is Almost Done Laundering Stolen Funds
Additionally, it’s worth noting that recent on-chain data indicates that the culprit behind the theft has made significant progress in washing the pilfered funds. The wallet containing the stolen cryptocurrency has seen a dramatic decrease, now holding approximately 6 million dollars in Ethereum (ETH). This is down from the original $234 million.
According to data on the blockchain from Arkham, it appears the hacker is employing Tornado Cash, an anonymous transaction service, to transfer the funds. This platform conceals the involved wallet addresses and transactions.
During the month of August, over $50 million in tokens flowed through the service, and there was an uptick in hacking activity in September. The most significant recent transaction took place on September 25, where about 3,792 ETH, equivalent to roughly $10 million, were moved to a newly created wallet.
