קריפּטאָקאָם אַקסאַדענאַלי סענדז $ 400 מיליאָן ווערט פון ETH צו טויער, געלט ריקאַווערד שפּעטער

FTX’s collapse stirred the cryptocurrency market in a way that not many expected, but there’s some silver lining, however tiny it may seem.

For once, most of the leading exchanges decided to go ahead with their proof-of-reserves and published the majority of their addresses that contained the funds stored on their platforms.

• CryptoCom is one of the exchanges that published their addresses, showcasing how much and what cryptocurrencies it stores on behalf of its customers.
• However, quickly after the information went public, members of the crypto community discovered a transaction for a whopping 320,000 ETH sent out from one of the exchange’s addresses.
• This represented roughly 80% of the ETH stored on CryptoCom.
• The company’s CEO, Kris Marszalek, gave an explanation of what happened:

עס איז געווען געמיינט צו זיין אַ מאַך צו אַ נייַ קאַלט סטאָרידזש אַדרעס, אָבער איז געשיקט צו אַ ווייטליסטעד פונדרויסנדיק וועקסל אַדרעס. מיר געארבעט מיט גייט מאַנשאַפֿט און די געלט זענען דערנאָך אומגעקערט צו אונדזער קאַלט סטאָרידזש. נייַ פּראָצעס און פֿעיִקייטן זענען ימפּלאַמענאַד צו פאַרמייַדן דעם פון ריאַקערינג.

• Despite the explanation, the community is left with a sour taste as to how it is possible to accidentally send a whopping $400 million worth of ETH to an address that was not the designated receiver.
• This is not the first time CryptoCom makes a mistake of this kind.
• Last year, the exchange accidentally sent $10M to a woman instead of $100. The more alarming thing is that it didn’t discover the mistake for a whopping 7 months.
