This exchange I was trading Potcoin for got hacked + robbed + shut down.
https://freshmarket.co.in



thanks to the unknown hacker, we're closing. Please email at support@freshmarket.co.in for partial refund of LTC/leaf/nyan and full refund of other currencies. You need to email from mail y used for registraion, with amount of coins and adress to withdraw for every currency.

I thankfully got my funds recovered. We have been talking to the devs of the website and they have been sending our cryptos to our wallets.

Here's a thread where devs are talking to customers helping them retrieve their funds:

Hopefully none of you had cryptos on this exchange. I did but I was made whole now so.
:(

They were a brand new startup exchange and according to their representative he told us they probably wont reopen since their trust has been broken so much by this hacker. The hacker primarily stole Litecoins, Leafcoins, and Nyancoins.

I haven't found any news story of this, but I'm a primary source of information on the story, so just reporting it to you guys.
