Case of cryptocurrency firm QuadrigaCX to return to a Halifax courtroom today

Feb 14, 2019 | 3:07 AM

HALIFAX — The bizarre case involving the cryptocurrency firm QuadrigaCX is expected to return to a Halifax courtroom today.

The Nova Scotia Supreme Court has been asked to determine which law firms will represent 115,000 QuadrigaCX clients, who are owed as much as $260 million in cash and cryptocurrency.

The court-appointed monitor overseeing the search for the money said it recently found more than $900,000 in digital assets.

However, Ernst and Young also revealed that someone at QuadrigaCX “inadvertently” shifted about half of those crypto-coins into a site that is now inaccessible to the company.
