Knaken Crypto Sales Yield €2.2 Million for Creditors Amid Financial Scandal
The Dutch Public Prosecution Service has sold the remaining cryptocurrency held by the bankrupt crypto platform Knaken, generating €2.2 million that will go toward paying creditors.
Rotterdam trustee Carl Hamm appointed after the company’s collapse estimated that customers invested between €10 million and €12 million through Knaken.
Hamm said it appears Knaken did not actually invest all the money that customers believed was going into cryptocurrency, creating a large shortfall.
