Yes, they are late to announce some actions and it's obvious that it is their strategy. The result though so far, is positive and i really hope it continue this way.

Yes they are good in buying more time to create an illusion that they are working behind the scene's its getting more obvious now.
Next week
(No specific day) they will enable cancel - only mode in the site and based on the discord discussion of some mods, Cryptopia will give more
*time (ehem
delay) to all customers to cancel all active orders on the site.
What happen next is still a mystery and still no positive news about customer's balance withdrawals.
