Voyager May Be Hacked After Reopening Withdrawals, Bankruptcy Officials Investigate

Odaily Planet Daily News Voyager Digital Holdings lawyer Darren Azman told the bankruptcy judge at a court hearing that the company may have been hacked after reopening cash withdrawals. The incident has been reported to law enforcement agencies and officials overseeing the company's bankruptcy are investigating it. According to Azman, customers have come across various scams. Often, scammers will set up a fake website claiming that Voyager customers can increase their payouts by linking their non-Voyager crypto wallets to a new account. Once the new account is created, the assets in the non-Voyager wallet are wiped out. Few customers fell for the scam, but there were some victims, he added. In April of this year, Binance.US terminated the deal to acquire Voyager. Voyager officials at the time estimated that customers could recover about 36 percent of their assets. But if the company wins its court battle with FTX Trading, that percentage would exceed 60%. Voyager only had about $630 million to pay the $1.8 billion account claim, court documents show.
