You are right. However, let me stress out this fact.
You mentioned binance and I'm fortunate to use their service. If you exchange crypto in binance, you will discover that using the quick exchange option, an individual have only few seconds to accept a given exchange before the price change. Similarly when trading on other platform, you have little time to make a decision before price surge or fluctuate. People don't check news on site, users probably have done analysis even before entering the platform to trade. If the deposit, stake, offer or deal option is enabled, people will use it without checking. I read market news before trading and I trust my broker. If the currency pairs is enabled, I can hit the trade button for that pair without fear of news flash. And I will be dumb to snap a screenshot of something I always do as proof or evidence for future reference. The real question should be -
Was the deposit option really enabled on that faithful day for that particular crypto? If yes, then someone like me can't trade there bcoz I would make the same mistake like this person.
If you google more on the subject and the matter and the problems in court you will know how wrong and useless your comment is.
Your assumptions are useless. Whether or not Gate.io has started scamming their users has got nothing to do with the fact that Italian authorities aren't allowing them to provide services to Italian citizens. Would you call them legit if Consob didn't make that decision and wrote that announcement? No, of course not.
Binance has had its license blocked or not extended in several territories. I remember reading not that long ago that they will no longer be allowed to operate in Singapore due to licensing issues. They had issues with UK regulators previously in the past. That does not mean they were scamming UK and Singapore-based customers.
Gate.io may or may not be a scam site. Their licensing problems in Italy have nothing to do with it. It works the other way around as well. If Italian authorities allowed them to provide services to Italian citizens, you can't use that as an argument they are a legit and non-scamming exchange.
