Hey,
Apologies for being a little late with this. I lost my VRC when Moolah.io closed its doors. I didnt receive any emails at the time re the closure and by the time I found out, it was too late. This was back in 2014.
I assume my coins are still there on the blockchain (?) and I would dearly love to get my coins back. The VRC price makes my 6,500 coins worth chasing.
Was anyone else affected similarly and can anyone provide any suggestions as to how I can start the hunt? I have the details of my moolah wallet and the number of VRC etc.
Vericoin was lucky to survive the fiasco called mintpal. First the devastating hack and then mintpal is sold to a scammer who (shocker) exit scams with everyone's funds. I'd say you're never seeing your vericoins again. However, it does look like there are still ongoing investigations:

Now that that's all over with. There will probably be more exchanges like that in the world. Hope other coins don't have to go through the same thing.
