Investigation shows that assets on the exchange were not properly stored, and the initial handling of the incident was extremely poor. The exchange at first shut down their website and removed all social media accounts, before later reversing the decision. The exchange since made some efforts to refund certain alt coins, however there has been no report of any bitcoin or litecoin being returned. A group on Twitter continues attempting to prosecute the team, believed to be based in Romania.
