not really,,,
 bittrex bill straight up stole users coins while poloniex gave us like a 6-9 month window where they made it crystal clear what was about to happen. ^crypto died today>>>*have a nice summer*

This is a shame.

Poloniex is acting really like bittrex did, stealing users funds. We still can deposit but we can't withdraw anything.

Still can't believe that.

did you try verify a local homeless person? + give them a cut,,,,this might work to help BTC mend societies' woes too!?     >>>blessings&r.i.p. polo

Poloniex support has pretty much confirmed my previous posts, they cannot release funds to unverified accounts. The thing here is they need to know who they're dealing with... But why they only started caring regarding this now when many of these legacy users have accounts with them for years, some since their inception, is beyond me. So now, suddenly, we are on a list of potential terrorists*

I've been reading the posts here and pretty much the only thing I have to say is, we do not need to file a complaint or put them in court, or anything similar. We'd just waste our time and even more funds (to add to those we all have blocked there), the law is on their side. Poloniex just needs to come out and be accountable for their words, as they've been all these years.

This is what I feared for a long time and I've written countless posts on this forum regarding the issue, regulation is a two sided knife. As I predicted, in attempting to regulate something to enhance its adoption and safety (or purposefully and covertly hinder it), regulators and governments just made the access barrier taller, and made this an even wilder wild west for those who are already in this for the longest time.

I consider my deposit a total loss. I am most likely not going to verify myself, especially when absolutely nothing guarantees I'll be able to withdraw my funds after I do so. I'd consider verifying myself if Poloniex had a fiat gateway. I hope Poloniex has fun with my funds. Go have a beer on me or something... Pretty cool when you're not paying, right? Or give out a bonus to your support staff... Be creative. I guess there's nothing else to say when there's no reason for me to get verified with them. We've been "Poloniexed"

*If I may add an opinion of some sorts, I'm willing to bet large on the fact that no terrorists have ever used Poloniex for illegitimate uses

---

So far they've allowed withdrawals of delisted coins. According to how things are at the moment I'm not sure if this will be the truth from now on anymore...

I did finally get through the verification process. I pulled my money out ASAP. I have no intention of relying on Poloniex ever again, not after this fiasco.

Poloniex set to delist dozens lots of coins in an effort to be 'legit'. So if you have any of these coins and your account is frozen or coins lost in transit you will probably lose them forever as Poloniex washes it's hands of you.
But on the bright side as they are trying to get a federal banking license, this may give those with problems with Poloniex a bigger stick to beat then with.

Seems to me you have forgotten to withdraw all your funds during the support crisis at Poloniex last year. I wasn't surprised with this development after Poloniex was sold to Circle. There was plenty of time then.

Poloniex recently I like less and less. It does not grow. It seems so to me. Other exchanges are getting better

Poloniex Exchange is now listed on CryptoChartIndex , Now you can get all information regarding Poloniex Exchange on CryptoChartIndex!

p.s. thank you for the warning.

===> cheers for all the years of the crazy trollbox!!

Release my funds dirtbags.I do not have any intention of allowing myself to be data raped or verify under duress.None of your fucking business who I am.You never asked when you took my deposit.Now you leave honest people who value their privacy and right to disagree with your terms and conditions in position where they feel threatened and feel like criminal or outcast.Give money now losers or crypto community will turn you into tumbleweed town when you have nobody trading on your exchange.Shame on Busoni to sell out to corporate trash and leave us all in this state.He is a disgrace to the bitcoin and wider crypto community.Greedy shitbag.You are the real criminals!!

Send a feedback waiting to secure this,i'm still having major issues with timeouts, its more or less impossible to actually use the exchange. Really hope you get this fixed

Good to see someone is taking the time to get Poloniex into court. Poloniex's contract terms must surely be illegal; over here we have a law that states that a contract is illegal if contains "something that tries to limit your legal rights". Poloniex's contract that says they won't give you your coins back unless you waive the right to sue them fall into this category.

They knew exactly what the regulation was going to be and they out right lied to steal. There is no excuse.


Post this post and your ticket numbers in this thread.

I would recommend never using Poloniex, and even more so now.
The past couple of months they have had numerous withdraw and deposit issues that were never resolved.  Now they have also locked numerous accounts with coins that could not be removed or held in limbo.
After months of waiting on tickets and being promised it would be worked on, it never was, so I have simply counted all my coins on my account as a loss.
Not like they were worth as much as when I first tried to withdraw them...

From what I've gathered in the meantime I take it they cannot simply open withdrawals due to regulation for the fact they're probably required to know who they're dealing with. But this doesn't excuse them giving the impression we'd be able to access funds, of course.

Because they are bankers and bankers are thieves. It's pretty simple really, they think they can get away with it and it looks like they will.

While trying to make crypto less and less of a wild wild west, Poloniex has managed to make things far worse. From their announcement I was too under the impression that withdrawals would be available, which doesn't seem to be true for my legacy account. I consider myself scammed. I'm not sure how the current situation gives any trust to legacy account owners to actually get verified. I hope I can eventually manage to get out, but it doesn't seem this will be possible. I understand the importance of regulation and KYC, however I do not understand why funds need to be frozen when we were given the impression this wouldn't be the case.

In the end, it was my fault, of course, funds not on our keys aren't ours. Hopefully the rest of legacy users don't have a deal breaking amount there either

Here's the announcement for reference: https://archive.is/svOXP

OK guys I have called the Delaware Attorney Generals office and they refereed me to the Delaware investor protection agency which I got redirected to voicemail where I left my contact info to get the ball rolling.

I am going to start a thread on this and will edit this post with a link to that thread and anyone that is interested can post their Polo issues there so that I have a list when I talk to the investigators.

EDIT: OK here is the initial thread.

It's gotten even worse at Poloniex since Circle bought them out. This closing of legacy accounts is probably a first step Circle "rationalising" Poloniex for either shutting it down (probably a good thing) or selling it on and washing it's hands clean of all the unhappy customers.
