Withdrawal freeze
A class-action complaint filed 10 January 2018 in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, Shaw v. Vircurex (C.A. No. 1:18-cv-00067), alleges that on 24 March 2014 the exchange froze withdrawals of BTC, LTC, TRC, and FTC, citing two purported mid-2013 hacks and near-insolvency.[1]
The same complaint states that, according to the operator's "Final Update" in January 2016 (the complaint also cites 3 January 2016), 1,666 BTC, 124,763 LTC, and 78,782 TRC remained frozen. Those figures are allegations made in the complaint.[1]
