The total amount is nothing compared to the amount scammed with dollars.  Very few hacks are outsiders, its almost always someone on the inside doing the hacking.  We have already seen the Quadriga guy fake his own death so nothing is off limit to these criminals.

We have to call it hack because this is the almost always the official reason behind multiple crypto exchange exit scams. We all know this is an insider job but has to be proved first before we can such accusations on them. We can't forget that hackers are real and they are another reason that crypto space is what it is today. They stole billions already and didn't stop and keep developing new technics and break new records every few months. seems almost impossible to stop them but something has to be done because hackers could be the biggest threat for cryptocurrencies.

If I take a look at the number of scam reports we received, I have no doubt that 2019 will be a record for crypto scams!
Considering the dumbness and or greed of internet users I also have no doubt that 2020 will top 2019!

Is the amount of scam reports you are receiving growing each year? If yes, could you please say how much more it is in percentage compared to 2018 or 2017?

I thought that with the introduction of "provably fair" casinos, scams in this industry should decrease, maybe not many people use them actually, but I wonder why?
