Topic: Anyone else suffer losses from Poloniex with no explination? (Read 637 times)

This happened to me alot.  So many crazy things has been happening on the Poloniex platform lately. Just hope it is not an inside job. Maybe suing them will put an end to the madness

probably. check all the delisting pumps. but there's no law against that. they can also hide behind establishing ownership when it comes to delays and so on, let alone all the ddos stuff.

it's not a bank, it's not a regulated trading platform. it's some guy's website where you're swapping imaginary numbers.

There are a lot of anecdotal cases of missing funds, funds held indefinitely without explanation. I won't be the least surprised if Polo is pumping these shit coins.

As for me I had cancelled a buy order that was shown to be excepted by polo and the btc showed up in my account then 3 min later the buy order was triggered then 3 min later the polo website froze. So yes we have a problem here

but there are no laws against insider trading when it comes to crypto. there's pretty much no laws about anything. you're voluntarily using a service that guarantees nothing.

I did read that they are already being investigated for insider trading. Burns Weiss LLP is looking into it so I'll asume that if anything comes of it you'll be one of the ones to speak up. I'd read up on it more so you have an idea of what you need to do, and possibly even reach out the them with your claim in case they need more evidence.

I'm not up to date.

Was it "just" a stopp loss order that did not trigger like it should.
Or did all bitcoins disappear you had in the stopp loss order without giving you the altcoins (or other way round)?

I also suffered a big loss from poloniex by not having a chance to buy when there is a dump on the coins because if there is dumping situation in poloniex, the site turned to be so lag and i cannot place any order and when the coins pump then it will become okay. It is a big loss for me because i cannot grab those opportunities which can boost my progress.

Right,DDos is utter bullcrap.I know people who have been in the similar situation during that phase but the charts never stopped which concludes people were still able to trade or buy-sell coins.I could be technically handicapped but isn't ddos suppose to slow the entire network down and not selectively ? If it's the later,we know what are they doing!

Good move.Take it ahead with them,open a thread in the scam accusation section to see if you've similar cases who'd be ready to testify.Their troll box is always filled with users claiming the money was stolen.

Sign a petition to stop centralized exchanges.

I had a "stop loss failure" of 25BTC during the "DDOS". I work in information security I'm not buying DDOS attack for a second. I'm not buying that statement they released about growth, etc either. It's filled with buzz words and bullshit. It was probably written during the DDOS in wonderland.

I talked to an attorney yesterday. They're privately investigating a certain date range now to determine if they can start a civil suit against poloniex. They were quick to respond and eager to get as much information as possible. They're interested in both trading details and interaction with Poloniex's technical support. They sounded more interested in the ladder which I found interesting at first. It's making more sense now since their support has failed to respond to my request since I opened it 8 days ago. I started to post the attorney's info into the "trollbox" today. I was banned from posting no warning either. The moderator usually announces it when they ban someone and state for how long. I was silently banned which is just another strange occurrence.

Losing that amount of money with no explanation is obviously infuriating. Believe it or not the fact that they're giving crypto and more importantly blockchain a bad name pisses me off even more. They have no business playing in the decentralized playground. They define everything that's wrong with centrally governed institutions. If you're in the business of screwing people go hang out in the playground on wall st.

Below is the law firms contact info. As I said they were quick to respond. I originally sent a message to the info address. I have a contact there now. I don't want to give out that info without asking. I'll ask them tomorrow how they'd like the word to be spread.

BERNS WEISS LLP https://www.law111.com/ [email protected]

This firm has a dedicated team they formed in 2013 that works specifically in crypto and blockchain technology. I didn't know that at first. I think I read they're helping coinbase with their IRS subpoena for personal records.

I also contacted freshdesk.com their outsourced support provided. I explained how terrible Poloniex's support is and and it's one of the main reason I won't be using the site anymore.
