The exchange previously known as BitBay moved into the Zonda brand in November 2021, with user login data and platform continuity described as unchanged.
Zonda brand moved to zondacrypto
The Zonda exchange brand later moved to the zondacrypto name; HEI treats BitBay / Zonda / zondacrypto as the same lineage unless later evidence requires a split.
Polish prosecutors opened a Zondacrypto investigation
The Regional Prosecutor's Office in Katowice opened an investigation concerning Zondacrypto, including suspected misleading of users about the purchase and storage of fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies, possible money-laundering-related conduct, reported withdrawal problems, and lack of access to an approximately 4,500 BTC cold wallet.
Victim instructions referenced failed or partial withdrawal requests
The prosecutor's office published instructions for potential victims, asking them to document when and in what amount they ordered withdrawals from Zondacrypto, including withdrawals that were not fully or partially executed.
CEO reportedly located in Israel during crisis
Onet reported that zondacrypto CEO Przemyslaw Kral was in Israel while the exchange was described as on the edge of bankruptcy and while the 4,500 BTC reserve-key dispute remained unresolved.
