Suspicions about exchanges began to emerge in June. Then in one of the threads on the Bitcointalk cryptomnesia tried to find out more information about the canadian exchanger. At their request, responded to the team Solariumcoin. This coin was previously added to MapleChange.
They don't Have team members located anywhere, but saying that they are in Canada. Too many unknowns «development». We left the forum due to the fact that earlier we had problems with the review, where we exposed the exchange.
Some time Later, the representatives Solariumcoin said that their coin was hastily removed from MapleChange.
So who is to blame for the missing funds? While everyone «bread crumbs» point to the exchange itself.
Due to a bug some users were able to withdraw all the funds. We are in the process of investigation of the incident. We are very sorry that it had to end. Until the investigation is completed we cannot refund the money.

The First tweet after «hacking» talking about a process of investigation. But if the leadership MapleChange sorry, «that all is over», so no investigation and no?
A small crypto exchange pulled off an exit scam, taking all customer funds.
There is no incentive for using small exchanges. Use established exchanges that are regulated, & transparent.
Small exchanges also focus on maximizing profitability, not security or investor protection
