IANAL and I have no idea which country/jurisdiction this theft belongs to, but the objective issue (highlighted in the article):
>One effort aims to help victims by creating a website on which they can download records of their holdings being stolen, for presentation to police. The Register wishes those whose coins were purloined the best of luck when they visit the local constabulary with that documentation.
sounds to me very real.
You go to your local police station with (I presume) a few pages "printed off the internet" full of (senseless) alphanumeric strings and tell them that seemingly 0xd01ae1a708614948b2b5e0b7ab5be6afa01325c7 stole your (crypto) money that was deposited in a third party "vault" (or account or whatever)?
- YXNjaGVyZWdlbgo 5y agoIt was not stolen from you it was stolen from qubit. It's not your problem.
- jaclaz 5y agoSure, but seemingly this is not what Qubit believes, if they are setting up a site to download docs to allow you to (in theory) file to Police. But - allow me - if my (crypto) money (or whatever) cannot be obtained/transferred/drawn (because Qubit won't allow me to) it is actually "a" problem, and definitely "my" problem. It is the whole idea that Qubit is not directly responsible that is absurd (as I see it).
- rasz 5y agoYou got that almost right. "It was not stolen from you it was stolen from qubit. It's not qubit problem."
- mdrzn 5y agoThis looks laughable. Police wouldn't know what to do, or who to call to start moving things.
