After the transfers, ChipMixer issues users an equivalent amount of chips that can be used for bets. If the user wins, the amount is doubled, or they go to the service. Chips can also be donated.<\/p>\n

\\n<\/p>\n

The service’s internal rules do not permit disclosure of the size of winnings or losses.<\/p>\n

\\n<\/p>\n

Earlier in September, KuCoin reported<\/a> unauthorized withdrawals from hot wallets of Bitcoin, ERC-20 tokens and others. The loss amounted to more than $280 million.<\/p>\n

\\n<\/p>\n

Later, KuCoin was able to<\/a> identify the suspects in the hack and block part of the stolen funds with the help of partners.<\/p>\n

\\n<\/p>\n

To move the funds, the hackers employed<\/a> the Uniswap exchange and the mixer<\/a> Tornado Cash.<\/p>\n
