Hong Kong Crypto Exchange AAX Unlikely to Reopen

2022/12/01 15:10

Troubled Hong Kong crypto exchange AAX is now more likely to be unwound than resuming normal operations, its former head of communications Ben Caselin told CoinDesk TV Wednesday in his first interview since resigning earlier this week.

AAX shuttered services on Nov. 13 following what it said was a malicious attack in which it was left unable to verify customer balances and allow people to withdraw their holdings, and Caselin seems unconvinced that it will ever fully reopen.

The company previously stated that it saw the chance of a return to normal operations. But Caselin said on Wednesday that this was “from November 19 and is definitely not my sentiment or observation now. I think that it is a much more likely scenario that the company moves to a more legal procedure of unfolding.”

Caselin said that things had “seemed fine” at the company until two weeks ago, but since then he had lost his optimism and his role as communications chief became untenable.

“The information flow was deteriorating very fast, decision making became more opaque” as talks with potential investors proceeded, he said. He announced his resignation in a tweet on Nov. 28.
