They had their chance of regaining trust.
But after 3 months they dont got their exchange running.
You cannot rise from the ashes if you dont try to stand up.

B-but-but... the police... they blocked our entrance... a-and then the weather... such a bad weather, first of all is the employee's safety!
A-A-and th-the coffee machine broke, our employees can't work more than 1 hour per day without coffee.
Al-also, two of our hamsters powering the servers died, so we can't sync more than 1 wallet at a time.

They are calculating that trust is gone so pseudo Exit Strategy:

(1)  Freeze all Customer shitcoin transfers.

(2)  Force Customers to dump shitcoins for $0.80 on the dollar... Cryptopia instantly arbs your shitcoin for $0.20 in BTC.

(3)  With BTC mooning and alts tanking this is BIG WINDFALL for Cryptopia...
They could be making as much as $20-30,000/day by freezing Customer shitcoins indefinitely.

(4)  In any civilized country with a Court System (like NZ) this is fraud and criminal...
But when you are totally fucked anyway... hey, you do what you have to do  Cheesy
