Topic: CryptoXChange affected user list (Read 4434 times)

Nope, welcome to Bitcoin. I've been waiting for them to return my coin too. I had a bunch of Namecoin with them also. Just lock all your Bitcoins in a safe on a paper wallet because sending them to an exchange you risk losing all of them. Or just trade them for product at a huge reputable company like Overstock or Newegg. Why should you take the risk. Let the company be the loser when the exchange disappears.

I have opened an account with CryptoXchange with my other e-mail address ([email protected]) in 2012 & my Bitcoin wallet is: 1CWxx7y9cYHC13zuQYDiZBBgNW6vU4Z6CR.
They have also verified my Bank account of India.
In September 2012, I have received 90.33BTC and by CryptoXchange, I kept this money with them.
However all of a sudden they closed down without paying up equivalent amount or returning my Bitcoins and my many attempts to contact them have failed and all my mails got bounced.
It all started by blocking my access to my account.
Later to my horror, I found from google search that my own money, 90.33BTC have been stolen by someone intentionally, as below:

This is very clear that CryptoXchange started operation with a criminal mindset to rob their un-suspecting clients and I am a victim.
Is there a way out to get my money back ?
Please help.

Can't speak for others, but I was doing arbitrage trading which requires me to keep a balance at the exchange.  I've pretty much chalked up my loss as a cost of doing business and moved on, but I'm sure others lost a lot more.

Omg you guys had so much money in that exchange what where you thinking? It would be worth picking up an old computer or getting a computer someone is throwing away and setting up a clean linux machine. This would be for storing your bitcoins and is safe from every day user use.

I takes some time to setup but its well worth it.

For what it's worth, got a response from NSW:

Just searched ASIC insolvency notices - no liquidator has been appointed yet.

Just submitted my complaint to the NSW.  We'll see if it does any good.

- 38.9 BTC which was abotut $450 at the time. Now ~$7000
- Funds sent to 1F2BWZ6oAwyCzM9mLbhfCxd1ysQKUMCuVM
- 11th December 2012
- $0 / 0 BTC recieved

Happy to join in any joint action

I filled it out - just wrote in the detail section approximately how much my bitcoin was worth back then and how much it's worth now - that i was actively trading them - and info from the CXC crooks thread - all ways electrical - colin armitt / ken armitt

I think they would need at least 100 complaints to take this seriously - They currently get complaints in the thousands for other companies.

Just watched that report, I'm surprised the ABC actually ran a story on it.
At least this might get some more attention now.

I lost 25 BTC at the time which I exchanged for $325AUD.
Don't I feel stupid now considering the recent price hike.

Has anyone else filled in the form for a complaint to NSW Fairtrading? What info did you provide? I wonder how many complaints they would need to look into this.

Everyone affected please make a general complaint here:

Thanks!

not sure if this link works outside Australia

Does your solicitor have any ideas? I'd be interested in some sort of class action against these scum.

Were you affected by CryptoX ?

Mahin Gupta is one of the scammers, what was Kent lastname, and anybody knows where he lives?

Are the dickholes of CryptoXcam still active in the community?

I'll second that, but not too keen on throwing more good money after bad. 

Centralize the action by rounding up as many victims as possible and getting everyone to assist in some way.
Or go the opposite way and put up a bounty...

Either way I'd be happy to even get half of my funds back - the other half can go towards making it possible.

I am looking at filing a winding-up order but upfront fees are high (3K-5K) as per my solicitor who did the stat demand. Maybe we can join forces in filing the application? not sure how though. Or any suggestion on the next action?

Perhaps, this link will explain clearly.

Wagamama, please explain what that is.

Has anyone filed a petition for a winding-up order?

Same here. Sent a letter a month ago. Somehow, hasn't been delivered yet. Let's coordinate on the next action.

deego, your was 60k, or total for all here ?

About 60K USD worth last time I tallied.  :|

Add around 500 USD + 500 AUD to that...

About 41000 AUD so far, if I calculated correctly.
Come on, people, I'm sure there are persons out there who still wait for their money, sent a letter of demand and received no answer.

This saddens me.  Huge numbers being posted here.

About $5500 stolen off me.


Haha not a bad idea

Anyone contacted law enforcement yet?

BTC4Amazon is a good person to deal with. If you have Skype his Skype is BTC4Amazon  - Personally trusted him with 300+ BTC

It's troubling to see all this.  I am new to this scene, and am looking at making my first buy.

But sheesh!  everywhere I turn there have been troubles.

MTgox accounts hacked (probably key-logger software).
Coinbase  super slow delivery issues in recent days.
this one...

I am wondering if I should just stay clear.

what are people's recent experiences with btc-e?

TIA

28 BTC and 8000 NMC lost. Oh well, not like it was very much. I'm so used to being fucked over by bitcoin businesses I don't even care anymore.

BTW: Anybody seen my full one-year subscription to Bitcoin Magazine that I paid for over a year ago but never received? Oh, while you’re at it, look for my GLBSE shares too. Maybe their hiding in the same place!

You're wrong. If you follow the bitcoins, they are being used as we speak. The funds, bitcoin or USD, do not just 'dissappear'.

I have an email trail of the transfer to bank account request, I have copies of all real money documentation being sent to them. I dont need a bitcoin address to make a valid claim. It won't matter in any case since they have done a runner, and nobody is getting paid back anything.

I do arbitrage trading, so I regularly transfer coins all over the place.  No way I could tell which addresses were for CryptoXChange with any reliability.

I do have detailed e-mail records of all my trades (hundreds, probably thousands) there from my trading bot though (date/time, amount of trade, BTC/USD balance at the time).

Guys, check your (MtGox, personal etc.) wallets, there should be a record of the sums sent to CryptoXChange. The address you sent to is the deposit address. Without that proof, you're just helping calculate a total loss, but I don't think you have any claim.

- money owed to you - USD or BTC
- CryptoXChange BTC address used to deposit funds
- date you requested your refund /sum
- money received
