Rippex - XRPs gone?

[Hajp]

Hi Gents,

 

Hope you can assist here or at least clarify.

To the story: I bought around 4000XRPs back then and did choose the "Rippex - Ripple Desktop Wallet" to store them and was accessing my created wallet with the client occasionally.

Time went by and I just realized yesterday that Rippex has closed its doors. 

Checked my Ripple address on "https://www.theworldexchange.net/" (without entering the secret key) and noticed that the account for some strange reason is not even activated (20XRPs) and the remaining XRPs are gone. Opened an account on gatehub and inserted my wallet there to clarify and it confirmed back the address does not "exist" anymore - like a fresh account.

 

Has anyone an idea where my XRPs are?

 

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

 

Best regards,

Hajp
