According to a report cited by ChainCatcher from The New York Times, Zondacrypto, the Polish crypto exchange formerly known as BitBay, has been tied to a string of disappearances and operational setbacks. Founder Sylwester Suszek went missing in March 2022 after leaving what was described as a desperate voice message for his sister, and his family suspects he was killed. The lawyer who later took over management of the company, Przemyslaw Kral, has now also been missing for four months. Kral had previously posted a video aimed at reassuring customers, saying the company held more than $330 million worth of Bitcoin. He also said the only person with the key needed to unlock those holdings was Suszek, who had already disappeared. The report added that the exchange website shut down around April. Roughly two months later, on June 29, Estonia’s Financial Intelligence Unit revoked the license of the exchange’s parent company.
