An additional 132 investors have joined a class action suit with the Tokyo District Court on Feb. 27 against Coincheck, Bitcoin.com reported.
The plaintiffs seeks a refund of about 228 million yen (around $2.1 million) in cryptocurrency from the exchange , which suffered from a $530Mn USD loss of the cryptocurrency NEM on January 26.
The class action suit is asking for a mix of 13 types of cryptocurrencies and a portion of Japanese yen.
“At the very least we would like to sell the virtual currency and withdraw it in Japanese yen, but even that will not make it even, we complain because of our distrust of Coincheck,” a plaintiff in told reporters.
On February 15 a group of seven investors filed a class action suit asking Coincheck pay annualized interest of 5 percent on the value of the digital coins from notification of the claim.
