It turns out that exchange are unable to move the coins from «older» addresses and then demanded compensation for the losses which in fact did not happen.
The developers BTCP arose a reasonable question — why the HitBTC waited so long and began to talk about the issue on the day of the burning? The response of the exchange was as follows.
Despite all the reasons we can't give these coins to burn. That is why we ask you to compensate for all the losses after the destruction of BTCP on the wallets.

In Other words, if some funds and was under threat of incineration, it certainly was not the money of the users. It turns out, the user HitBTC openly lied about the origin of cryptocurrency. Moreover, compensation with the developers, demanded to cover the losses of the exchange. In addition to individual customers wallets, HitBTC was probably their addresses, which housed the lost coins.
