HTX skips Dutch court, ordered to reveal user's identity | Protos
Crypto exchange HTX has skipped a Dutch court hearing after being accused of ignoring a scam victim and has been ordered to reveal the scammer’s identity — or face a hefty fine. According to the Netherlands’ financial crime unit, a scammer stole €1.2 million ($1.3 million) from a local with an HTX wallet that has been connected to several other Crypto investment scams. HTX allegedly ignored the Dutch victim’s reports, leading them to contact authorities and seek legal action. The scammer’s full name, address, zip code, and place of residence must be handed over, an Amsterdam court ruled in a hearing earlier this month. HTX didn’t attend. HTX was fined €500,000 ($550,000) and can be ordered to pay €100,000 ($110,000) more each day it doesn’t comply, up to €2 million ($2.2 million).
