Japan Suffers the Biggest Cryptocurrency Heist in History (Again!):
"On Friday evening in Japan, one of the biggest virtual currency exchanges in Asia,
Coincheck, announced that it had lost 58 billion units of the cryptocurrency NEM, worth
roughly $530 million dollars, which may well be the biggest cryptocurrency heist in
history.
For those of us with a long memory, the press conference was eerily reminiscent of Feb.
28, 2014, when Mt. Gox, once the world’s largest bitcoin exchange, declared bankruptcy
and announced that it had lost over $500 million worth of bitcoins to hackers. (The
figure was later revised down to $430 million.)
This new incident is an embarrassment to the Japanese government, which has been
trying to make Tokyo the global center for cryptocurrency."
