[mlawson71]

Cryptopia, the New Zealand based crypto exchange, which was hacked for over 16 million USD back in January, has suspended all services and will be liquidated, the company announced in a statement.

The liquidation will be supervised by the consultancy and audit firm Grant Thornton New Zealand, the local subsidiary of Grant Thornton International.

In January crypto currency investors, who had wallets with Cryptopia lost assets for more then 16 million USD, including more that 3,5 million worth of Ethereum coins after a hacker attack.

In the aftermath of an investigation by the local authorities the exchange resumed operations in March, but faced serious financial problems and had to file for bankruptcy earlier this month.
