WazirX Faces Prolonged Fallout from $230M Hack as Stolen Funds Continue to Move
Two months after a major security breach, WazirX struggles with fund recovery amid blame-shifting and legal challenges.
- Hackers have moved $33 million of the stolen funds through Tornado Cash, complicating recovery efforts.
- WazirX and its custody provider Liminal accuse each other of responsibility for the breach, with no clear resolution in sight.
- Binance has denied claims of ownership or control over WazirX, further muddying the waters of accountability.
- Only 441 out of two million monthly users supported WazirX's moratorium application for a 30-day extension on its internal investigation.
- Legal actions are mounting, including a notable lawsuit from rival exchange CoinSwitch seeking to recover $6.2 million.
