HistoryIn June 2017 hackers stole user information from a Bithumb employee's personal computer.[1] In January 2018 Bithumb was raided by the government for alleged tax evasion.[2] They were found not guilty but still had to pay nearly $28 million in back taxes.[3] In June 2018 about $32 million of cryptocurrency was stolen from Bithumb in a hack.[4] In October 2018 BK Global Consortium signed a deal to buy a majority share of BTC Holding Co. which is Bithumb's largest investor.[5] In January 2019 30 out of 340 total Bithumb employees were laid off in response to declining trading volume and profits in 2018.[6] On January 22, 2019, OTC-listed holding company Blockchain Industries signed a binding letter of intent to merge with Bithumb on or before March 1, 2019. The plan is to form a new publicly traded entity called the Blockchain Exchange Alliance (BXA) that would ‘up-list’ on either the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ and make BXA the first major cryptocurrency exchange to go public.[7] On March 29, 2019, Bithumb said that it was hacked. It pointed its fingers at insiders. Experts said that EOS wallet of Bithumb was hacked so that 3 million EOS tokens worth some $12.5 million were spirited away.
