Victims of $200 million hack of BitMart crypto exchange still waiting to get their money back

According to a report from CNBC, cryptocurrency exchange BitMart offered a complete refund to victims of the platform-wide $200 million theft, but some customers have yet to get their funds. On December 4th, hackers used a stolen private key to get access to one of BitMart's hot wallets, or crypto wallets that are linked to the internet, and made off with a variety of tokens.

BitMart declared shortly after the occurrence that it will use its own funds to "cover the problem and pay impacted users." However, according to CNBC, a number of disgruntled individuals have yet to receive their money back. According to a CNBC story, an Iranian exile said he held $53,000 worth of SafeMoon on BitMart, with $40,000 coming from a loan.
