After reading this article, It makes you stop and think that this could happen to any of these exchanges. Now I realized the importance of taking my crypto off of the exchange and storing in your own wallet. Even if your bags are light. The CEO was trying to protect his users by putting all assets into "cold storages" but with his passing, no one can access the now $145 million in Cryptos. Don't lose your crypto. Hope those that were in this exchange can get everything sorted out.
