Voyager Digital Holdings Inc. may have been hacked just as it reopened its crypto platform so that customers could recover their money as part of a court-supervised liquidation process, a lawyer for the bankrupt firm said.
Voyager reopened its platform for 30 days to allow customers to retrieve any remaining assets, after months of court-supervised fundraising efforts to repay customers and other creditors. During that window, customers were able to withdraw about $490 million worth of assets, or nearly 80% of what was available, lawyer Darren Azman told the judge overseeing the Chapter 11 case in Manhattan.
