Tokyo-based cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck has announced via Twitter that it has halted client withdrawals in all cryptocurrencies with the exception of bitcoin, evoking nightmares of Japan's Mt. Gox meltdown and sending the top 10 cryptocurrencies lower in the interim. Bitcoin was off about 5% even though it's not included in the suspension. NEM, deposits of which were similarly halted, was hit the hardest, down nearly 18%. Coincheck promises to provide a "detailed announcement."
Lon Wong, president of NEM.io Foundation, tweeted, "It's unfortunate that Coincheck got hacked. But we are doing everything we can to help." Reports suggest that 526 million NEM (XEM) ($400 million) was stolen in the alleged Coincheck hack. Wong told media outlets that it was a single account that siphoned the funds, adding that NEM is not forking and that its technology is "intact." He called it: "The biggest theft in the history of the world."
Couple days old, did you also not get the part that the CEO said he's going to pay everyone back out of his own pockets?
That's the respectful part.
