This'll be a first, won't it?
They'll get to keep the money that was frozen since Nov.27, 2018.
But what about the punters who originally provided the frozen funds? They'll still be sucking wind?
And who gets to keep the interest on the funds (surely someone paid, or should have paid, for the use of the funds over the six-and-a-half-year period)?

The stock markets of Canada in conjunction with the USA stock markets all fell asleep when crypto was initiated, in the sense they all did not protect their and their listed company interests as being the sole providers of tradeable securities. With that should also include the Securities Commissions and SEC who did not lobby in conjunction with the exchanges the rspective governments to clamp down on the illegal crypto markets.
Crypto rug pulls, typical shyster pump and dumps, have evaporated trillions of wealth in the western world and ended up in chinese government run boiler rooms, where shockingly to the brain dead crypto traders the converted crypto tokens are used to buy gold which has doubled in two years.
Like the tulip scandal, this crypto coin scandal has the same affect.
With the stolen values converted to gold market trading, the crypto traders will be moving into trading junior gold stocks as at least there will be some assets in junior stock deals. Or will they just keep hoping not to be the one on the losing end of the rug pull?

Does the $3million+ get returned to the investors? It should. If the regulators keep it, they are getting a 100% commission on the original ripoff.

CBC update
A Vancouver-based company that created and sold its own cryptocurrency has been ordered to pay more than $3.3 million to the B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC) after admitting it illegally distributed securities and misled investors.
It says the funds, which were frozen in November 2018 by BCSC's order, will be returned to affected investors.
