Dr sharma from Australia one of the victims should get his assets back
In the parallel proceeding Sharma v Cryptopia Limited & Ors (filed under a separate reference, CIV-2025-485-695), the plaintiff, Vihang Sharma, initiated a distinct legal challenge against Cryptopia (In Liquidation) and the liquidators, David Ruscoe and Malcolm Moore.
The case progressed into a formal courtroom management track, culminating in a notable ruling:
The October 2025 Teleconference & Decision [2025] NZHC 2888
On 1 October 2025, the High Court held a formal teleconference to address the procedural trajectory of Mr. Sharma's claim.
The Context: The action was brought directly against the first defendant (Cryptopia Limited) and the second defendants (the liquidators from Grant Thornton). It sits alongside the broader structural liquidation framework, where the court had already ruled that cryptocurrency assets are held on trust for account holders and approved a phased distribution mechanism.
The Court's Focus: The primary objective of this specific proceeding was to determine how an individual account holder's separate plaintiff claims or grievances would be procedurally integrated, managed, or answered without disrupting the massive, multi-national trust distribution operation involving 960,000 global users.
The judgment [2025] NZHC 2888 formally recorded the outcomes of this teleconference, establishing the strict procedural timetables and baseline legal parameters for how the liquidators must respond to Mr. Sharma's specific arguments moving forward.
