I’m not into crypto currency (yet) but was curious enough to read the article.
I was also curious to find out more about bittrex.com. Here’s what came up during my first seconds looking around on their website:
“Trade Confidently

Based and fully regulated in the USA, Bittrex is the go-to spot for traders who demand lightning fast trade execution, stable wallets, and industry-best security practices.

Maybe, because they are “fully regulated in the USA” the guy might recover some of his 130K. Minus a bunch of legal fees.
