CONFIRMED - HITBTC IS A SCAM
UPDATE 3rd NOV 2017 HitBTC being served with subpoena's
This will be my last update. HitBTC has completely scammed me, they reply publicly and pretend to be resolving the issue, or say it's resolved or to check the ticket, it's a lie. They use any mistake you make, a trading one, an account profile one to steal your funds, they stole $130K USD from someone else, I have in excess of 40 messages on my Reddit account of victims from HitBTC.
I can no longer further comment my lawyers are commencing legal action on Monday against the known serviced addresses, and shell company addresses, in an attempt to get the real owners behind the operation. We are also applying to a judge to have their bank account frozen, we believe their bank should hold KYC information on the actual owners - not fake nominee directors, that is the hope.
Once we have this information my lawyers will be perusing arrest warrants for all the directors it doesn't matter where they are in the world HK, or DK, where-ever they are my lawyers have offices and I am perusing this, client account funded.
If you are thinking about using HitBTC, don't you will loose your money, just do a quick Google search, they skim money on the side if you use the API, or outright steal from you should you loose your 2FA, email address, or anything else. AVOID THEM. No registered address, and serviced addresses with no license to operate, WHOIS hidden on their domain. They are complete scam, yes they may list tokens first, but don't get lured in use a trustworthy exchange I have lost $44,700 as a result of this, they reply to tickets, and just road block you - asking for one thing after another, non stop road blocking. My money is lost, but you have a choice you don't need to loose yours too, dont use the exchange, HitBTC is a SCAM.
