According toBloomberg, a law firm in Cape Town says it can’t locate Ameer and Raees Cajee, the founders of Africrypt. In April, the exchange told its investors it was the victim of a hack and asked them not to report the incident to the authorities on account it would “slow down” the process of recovering their missing money.\nSome of those involved in the exchange hired Hanekom Attorneys, the law firm that said it couldn’t find the two brothers, to investigate the incident. It found that someone had withdrawn Africrypt’s pooled funds from the local accounts and client wallets where the coins were stored originally and put them throughtumblers and mixers, making it difficult (though not impossible) to trace the money. “Africrypt employees lost access to the back-end platforms seven days before the alleged hack,” the law firm toldBloomberg. The outlet attempted to call both Cajee brothers multiple times only to get their voicemail each time.\nComplicating any recovery attempt is that South Africa’s Finance Sector Conduct Authority can’t launch a formal investigation into the incident because cryptocurrency isn’t legally considered a financial product in the country. If no one can recover the money, it will go down as the largest cryptocurrency loss in history, easily overshadowing the approximately $200 million CAD that disappeared when the founder of Canada’sQuadrigaCXexchange died while travelling in India.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4984899,"gmtCreate":1624494622248,"gmtModify":1663229859933,"authorId":3563066793847080,"author":{"id":3563066793847080,"idStr":"3563066793847080","authorId":3563066793847080,"name":"imcute","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/579c141f6a53dbdbdfb0ce0eed154f08","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":128007553,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Nice","text":"Nice","html":"Nice"},{"id":4985205,"gmtCreate":1624495267959,"gmtModify":1635249256986,"authorId":3574326262963990,"author":{"id":3574326262963990,"idStr":"3574326262963990","authorId":3574326262963990,"name":"HOCK","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/88799e7ae4e69750fd2f85687a24a9e3","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"44212b71d0be4ec88898348dbe882e03-2","templateUuid":"44212b71d0be4ec88898348dbe882e03","name":"Executive Tiger","description":"The transaction amount of the securities account reaches $300,000","bigImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9d20b23f1b6335407f882bc5c2ad12c0","smallImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ada3b4533518ace8404a3f6dd192bd29","grayImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/177f283ba21d1c077054dac07f88f3bd","redirectLinkEnabled":0,"hasAllocated":1,"isWearing":1,"stampPosition":0,"hasStamp":0,"allocationCount":1,"allocatedDate":"2022.02.10","exceedPercentage":"80.30%","individualDisplayEnabled":0,"individualDisplaySort":0,"categoryType":1101},"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":128007553,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"good money!","text":"good money!","html":"good money!"}],"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":86,"commentSize":16,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
