im now online with omni devs to distribute a new token asap and get things back as usual
the blocked address will be the one with the 20.5M, as the buyers on bittrex did nothing wrong

will be glad for suggestions for a new token name, so people will distinguish it from the old token as easily as possible

It is a good thing you contacted Ohad and it is much appreciated.
Nevertheless, I do have to say that the most honorable and decent thing to do would be to return the stolen coins you purchased for a full refund of your money. That is what I would do anyway (but that's only me...).

Imho all transactions with the stolen tokens should be voided.
Bittrex is definitely able to provide a detailed trade history.
It's like a thief stole bunch of limited collectors watches from a watch store, hastily selling them for cheap and the buyer says: "I can assure these new watches in my possession aren't going to leave my hands any time soon. So this is a nice gift for me, and you can rest assured that the collectors market will be unaffected."
The only problem is that the watches (Tokens) are still property of the watch store (Agoras devs).

I am also disappointed that they fell for such a scam. It highlights once more the weaknesses of the current organisational setup and business end of Agoras. The good thing is that the scam was early in the lifetime of Agoras, so it's impact can be unscrambled relatively easy. There's no telling what would have happened if such a thing took place later with actual trade volume and thousands of transactions outside the exchanges. One should keep in mind that scams and security breaches are the number one killer for crypto currency projects.

As part of my due diligence on Agoras, I wrote to Poloniex two weeks ago asking them if there had been any communication whatsoever taken place between Poloniex and the developers of Agoras or any other affiliated person.
This was actually the only red flag coming up and I didn't pay much attention to it, since all the other stuff I checked turned out to be true and made sense.

As an early investor you should realize that it is not fair to all other investor that you will get new tokens 1:1 for all the stolen ones even if you have purchased them legally . You should only get for the stolen tokens the number of new tokens that match the market price before the stolen token hit the market.

its not on Elokane to decide to give it back and let others on the buy side keep theirs just because Elokane had a super low buy order.

Option A: Anyone on the Bittrex buyside who got dumped on keeps their coins as Dev said.
Option B: Bittrex rolls back all trades to the second before the dump happened.

I dont care either way though I stand to benefit slightly if there is no roll back. Along with anyone else on the buyside today that got dumped into.

buyers should do absolutely nothing. it's all automatic. both for holders in wallet or in bittrex

I just spoke with Dor, the person who bought most of the 500K.
He wasn't aware at all to the discussion here as he's getting ready for a travel. Once I told him that there is some criticism here etc., he presented a *great* will to resolve everything. He will do whatever takes.
We have to bear in mind that after all, he's not the only buyer at that low prices, and it's not fair that other buyers will profit and he wouldn't.
Let's raise some ideas how to resolve it in a fair peaceful way, and let's give it a day or two.

Giving the BTC back to the buyers isn't an issue: if decided, I'll pay it fully, as it is all my fault.
