Support has answered my ticket after one week with no news from them. They told me they were investigating phishing attempts.

I have now withdrawals activated and I have withdrawn my bitcoins perfectly.

I like the fact that to withdraw bitcoins or fiat you need:
1) For login: username, password and Google authenticator.
2) For withdrawals: Google Authenticator and access to email.

I've been doing a low 4-figure withdrawal (SEPA) every week for about half a year now, the most recent one hitting my bank account today. No hitches, except for that one time they wanted me to answer the "extended" KYC, but that only added one extra day to the withdrawal time.

I can see why people would like to do larger withdrawals to save on fees, but I'd generally recommend splitting them to avoid hitting certain limits ($10,000 being the most important one).

Yes, I should have said.. it was not that much. I also had other relatively small withdrawals before (months ago) to the same bank account (not sure if that matters.)

I did a EUR withdrawal on Sunday evening. Monday it was confirmed. Got it today (Wednesday)

No BS questions, all good for me Smiley

Was it 4 figure, low 5 or more? My low 5 figure withdrawal is "in processing" for days now.

it's obvious that Bitstamp has a problem with its platform and it may sink soon.

I don't think the problems are coming from their bank.

There are ponzi schemes on here registered with companies house

I don't know what your intentions are, but this guy is not using fake names and he is not hiding: https://twitter.com/nejc_kodric


Er maybe you should have read what we were discussing, at no point did I accuse them of hiding/using fake names or anything of the sort. We were talking about UK Plod

Well, of course if they don't declare any profits they're not going to pay any taxes - I was just pointing out that Bitstamp might have decided to move their legal residence to the UK because of lower tax rates compared to what they would face if they declared profits in Slovenia.

Thats what I mean though, being uk ltd company doesnt really mean anything.

You can buy UK limited company registration for 99p.

It doesn't mean anything.

Yes it does. It means that your company is paying its taxes in the UK (probably lower rates than Slovenia) and whatever euro area regulation there is does not apply to you. In some countries, fictitious relocation for tax purposes can be prosecuted, but I'm not sure about how aggressive the Slovenians are with respect to these cases.

It means they're meant to pay tax in the UK

The company is incorporated in Reading, Berkshire. They probably don't have any staff there, but they're still operating under British law. I suppose that they moved the legal registration in the UK for tax purposes and because they anticipated that Bitcoin regulation would be lighter compared to whatever might happen in the Euro area as soon as the authorities decide how to act.

I just checked and it says they moved their operations to the UK, but every time I ring I get diverted to an international ring tone, all their staff names are foreign (which doesn't mean much I suspect thats the case with most of London admittedly) and they appear to operate on GMT+1 time, also the only address they give is a forwarding address.

I don't think any bitstamp employees are actually IN the UK, despite what they may claim.

let alone go on fishing expeditions through a slovenian exchange!

Legally speaking, Bitstamp is British, not Slovenian. They used to be a Slovenian company but that changed. Their staff and their bank are Slovenian, but the company operates under UK law.

Where are they all based?
