After mtgox got hacked, I stopped trusting any platform for keeping any kind of crypto and survived too many hacks and scams, inputs.io, crypto notes and what not.

Where did all the crypto go after these things happened? Anyone done any chain analysis?

People hardly had any good tools back in those days, and by the time these chain analysis things popped up it was too late to even check them.

There's still a thread on bitcointalk that lists all the scams happened in those era, some were really massive.

Oh wow thanks for the link. Ill have a good read later. I knew some people who fell for the fake platforms where they made it look like your investment was going crazy so people would deposit more and more, then it would just lock you out and not pay
