We don't know. Maybe they wanted to try to product test Ethereum wallet working, maybe not. We just have to see what will happen. I don't believe it is a scam.
Why test with 180,000 ETH instead of 1 ETH? I smell a rat and so do lots of others. Kraken have just announced that they are coming back online shortly. I'm waiting for other announcements saying that there's yet another delay and a final one saying that funds have been lost.
Nobody in their right mind will ever trust Kraken again, they are finished!
You're the big loser....
You announced here in this topic that kraken had been hacked and that they were going to go bankrupt...
They have just reopened and the funds are there...
Until the date you announced, you benefit from the doubt (15/1/2018) but if on this date, customers can withdraw their funds, I hope you will have the decency to leave this forum...
And if I were kraken I would sue you for the accusations you made here...
