💬 A shocking revelation from the British Columbia Securities Commission has sent ripples through the crypto community. Canadian cryptocurrency exchange ezBtc and its founder, David Smillie, have been accused of misappropriating approximately CAD 13 million ($9.5 million) of users' funds. The platform, which ceased operations in 2019, allegedly diverted 935.46 Bitcoin and 159 Ether for personal use and gambling, contradicting claims of secure cold storage.

▶️ This fraud affected over 2,300 Bitcoin and 600 Ether investments from numerous users. The BCSC panel found that nearly one-third of user funds were transferred to gambling websites and personal accounts. Sanctions against Smillie are expected by September 24, potentially including monetary penalties and market participation bans.
