Finally, we have news about the Stolen Ripples in the exchange Coinpayments.
The have returned only the 55% of the stolen Ripples.
RESPECT for it !
But we must tu fight to reach the Total of our Money.
This is the release.
Dear users of CoinPayments,
I wanted to give you a midweek update and personally tell you about the progress we have made regarding the recent Ripple incident. As pioneers in new frontiers solutions don't always come without challenges. Although contact has been made with many of the suspects, the funds have not been returned as hoped. This has made it very clear that most of the withdrawals were not done accidentally, but with malicious intent. We are now moving forward with prosecution of the perpetrators to the full extent of the law. This will set a precedent in this territory and deter future financial crimes in the space.
All the reimbursements to this date have come straight from the pockets of the CoinPayments team. Over the past week we have been able to acquire 55% of all of the XRP coins that were stolen through an enduring process with Ripple’s OTC desk. The funds have been distributed evenly amongst all accounts that were affected by this tragic loss. Moving forward, 50% of all CoinPayments’ revenue will be dedicated to acquiring XRP coins and reimbursing our users until we can put this incident behind us.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your patience and support during this challenging time. Our aim is to not only make things right with you, our valued clients, but to also demonstrate that there is integrity and trust amongst our community. We hope you will take this opportunity to continue supporting CoinPayments as it grows, develops, and adapts, and cryptocurrencies pave the way to the future of finance.
Sincerely, your team at CoinPayments Inc.
