Yes, this is just a fake news. Today's kucoin has officially announced this issue. I think perhaps someone wants to create FUD to continue to push down market prices.
This is not fake news, just a bit misinformed. Back in August 2017, KuCoin's website was based in Hong Kong so everyone assumed they were located there, however, during China's break down on cryptocurrencies, they relocated to Singapore and had a small office in Philippines (they posted this on their official blog by the date of April 12th, 2018).I see no reason keeping this discussion up, so I will lock the thread.
but they are giving fake details to register their exchange?
