A forensic audit found over $7 million in customer assets moved to wallets outside Orionx's control, prompting the exchange to suspend withdrawals and begin a permanent shutdown. The company filed criminal complaints against co-founders Roberto Zibert and Joaquín Díaz over alleged transfers of BTC, ETH, XRP and POL between 2018 and 2021; both deny wrongdoing.
