In a recent update, QuadrigaCX litecoin cold wallet addresses have been found and funds are being moved out. And, a redditor known as “palhello” has found out Litecoin cold wallets that QuadrigaCX uses. Furthermore, it is highly likely that private keys are not lost and it is just a cooked up story. To begin with, QuadrigaCX’s hot wallet can get coins in two ways either by making a deposit or to refill it for withdrawal. The addresses which still have huge sum of balances left have been found out by the redditor.
If the wallet addresses posted by QuadrigaCX’s user, then definitely QuadrigaCX still has access to the private key and funds. As a matter of fact, if these are really cold addresses there should be no outgoing transaction from them if private key is lost.
