After a preliminary investigation, Catalyx discovered that this incident was related to an employee of the company, however, there is still no specific information about the extent of damage or the amount of money lost by customers row.

Last week, local authorities ordered Catalyx to suspend all cryptocurrency trading to support an independent investigation into the company. CEO Jae Ho Lee immediately complied with a 15-day freeze from the Alberta Securities Commission until January 5, 2024.

During this period, global financial auditing firm Deloitte LLP will assist Catalyx in evaluating and investigating the incident.
