In January 2022 the exchange suffered a hot wallet compromise in which approximately $7.94 million in crypto assets were stolen, with stolen funds rapidly laundered through Tornado Cash; LCX subsequently used its own funds to compensate affected users and cooperated with international law enforcement to freeze an alleged 60% of stolen assets. The exchange is flagged by ZachXBT and carries a below-average trust score primarily due to the 2022 hack, ongoing user complaints about withdrawal delays and account freezes, and the broader security posture concerns that led to the compromise.","timeline":[{"date":"2018-01-01","event":"LCX (Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange) founded by Monty C.
