Japanese police interrogated one of the traders who carried out transactions with stolen tokens from the Coincheck exchange. Let us recall that in January, attackers withdrew 260,000 NEM worth $523 million from the trading platform
A trader, whose identity is not publicized, converted a small amount of stolen NEM tokens to Litecoin via the dark web. The police immediately became aware of this, as the tokens were marked by the NEM Foundation. The attacker admitted to the police that he knew that the tokens were stolen from the trading platform.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department carefully monitored dark web websites and was able to determine that the hacker was offering some of the stolen tokens at a 15% discount. According to a local publication, the attacker planned to exchange NEM for Bitcoin.
It is worth noting the efficiency of NEM.io. Fund experts are closely monitoring everything that happens after the theft. Moreover, for this purpose in NEM.io. have developed an automated system that allows you to monitor the status of funds - whether they have “reached” crypto exchanges or not.
The police continue to investigate the theft case, and Coincheck pleases its users with good news: from today, withdrawal of funds in fiat is again available.
