As per an announcement on the organization's site, the assets were lost because of the presentation of private keys, the cryptographic code that opens and moves blockchain-based resources, by the organization's main security officer Dr. Amitabh Saxena trying to circulate bitcoin gold (BTG) to clients.

In a FIR (first data report) with the cybercrime unit in New Delhi, the organization says, "We feel that he is making a false story to occupy our consideration and he may have a part to play in this whole episode."

Addressing CoinDesk, Chief of Coinsecure, Mohit Kalra, said the robbery happened at no blame of the organization, rather, "It was our CSO's framework which was bargained as he guarantees.

The methods he took after were "never expected to be done online in any case," he guaranteed.

The organization has likewise requested that the cybercrime unit grab Saxena's international ID to keep him from fleeing.

Talking on the site, Coinsecure requested that its clients remain by the organization in its endeavors to recoup the lost assets.
