The embattled New Zealand-based digital assets exchange Cryptopia has just been cleared for reopening by the New Zealand police<\/strong>. In a report by New Zealand local news agency<\/a> New Zealand Herald<\/strong> dated Wednesday, February 13th, the New Zealand police have concluded most of the work necessary for the ongoing investigations and the company now has full access to its facilities and business premises.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Despite the green light to relaunch the platform, Cryptopia\u2019s website and services are still inaccessible as of press time.<\/strong> The website still displays a maintenance notice that was initially displayed back in January 14th. Its social media pages have also been awfully silent about the ongoing investigation since January 27th.<\/p>\n According to the New Zealand Herald, Detective inspector Greg Murton reportedly said that:<\/p>\n \u201cWe have finished the main part of the work required by the High Tech Crime Group at Cryptopia\u2019s business premises, although HTCG staff remain there finishing up aspects of their work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The detective is also reported to have avoided giving any official figures on the amount that Cryptopia actually lost during the mid-January hack<\/strong>. Further correspondence with Cryptopia founders Adam Clark and Rob Dawson proved futile as they are unwilling to provide a timeframe for the resumption of services.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
