the thing I cannot accept/believe is it seems no one is trying to investigate or prosecute the scamming ceo. This scam has been totally forgotten.

And if say that twice (in two topics) it makes even more unbelievable  Grin?

IDAX was faking the volume big time, their main target was people who could dump some altcoins that weren't tradeable anywhere else, not big whales in traditional pairs. And if they had a few important ones probably they told them to get their money out and say nothing and they fleeced the little users.

Let's say you get scammed by an exchange you have no real clue where it is located or what company is behind it, most likely situated on the other side of the world and you've lost 100-300 let's say even 1000$? Are you going to file a complaint? Probably not, and that's what thieves like this know and take advantage of it. There have been so many cases where exchanges have disappeared and only a few users actually complain to the police but if the authorities where the crime was committed or the criminal is from have no interest in dealing with it, nothing was solved, and the way things go in cases where action has been taken, like MtGox are even more discouraging.

Unfortunately, rather than not believing it start thinking of it as the new normal.

So after more than a month, they have closed telegram groups, that looks even more bad, any other news?

Nothing and this shows just how much fake stuff was going there..
They were claiming 700 million in trade a day even with those problems, and yet there is little no one outrage in the biggest crypto blogs or on the groups or even here, a clear indicator that probably the real amount sitting there was in the thousands of dollars, not millions.
Imagine, the 10th largest exchange bites the dust and close to nobody gives a damn,

Checking around what is still trading there I run into yap stone
And if you look where this coin is trading, another clear indicator that idax was used only to pump op fake volume for shitcoins.

the real exchange is idex.market idax is a scam clone.

As already said just a couple of posts before yours:

[...] I was just thinking that  IDAX was a decentralized exchange so how can they scam when everyone have control over their private key in decentralized exchange ? Is it so ?

You're thinking of IDEX (with an E, not IDAX with an A)...

And finally, they stopped...one bot!
The volume dropped from 700 million to 170 million in a matter of hours.



But, and now this is the funny part, the only one that dropped was the BTC USDT pair, the ETH/BTC is still as 80 million.

And, do you know how much the USDT market dropped?
Well, from 400 million at one time to ...1700$. Yes, less than two thousand $.

Nothing but fake fake fake numbers.

Well, I have used IDAX before and thankfully I have no problem with it, they allow for quick withdrawals and deposits. Maybe this time they have a problem with the Chinese government, so they have to run away and take the cold wallets, hoping everything will not go too bad.

Latest news doesn't look good...

China-based IDAX Crypto Exchange Vanishes with $20 Billion as Capital Strand Breaks
Really?
They would have to hold at least 3 million Bitcoins for that number, the author probably has mistaken million for billion.

On the other hand, while the offices are empty, wallets are empty, people are getting arrested, the bots are still faking the volume big time:
IDAX $770.551.761
One more roof, if we needed one more that is, that you shouldn't trust any damn number on coinmarktcap!

True, probably something got "lost in translation" (either Billion/Million or the currency USD/CNY/KRW) but the "essence" of the news stays the same: "doesn't look good"...

Idax was once red flagged during an IEO, that was conducted on the exchange, instead of giving the project team the fund raised they alleged no fund was raised, this would be later said to have been resolved by Xcrypt team and CryptomarketAd, but I observed that incident and stay off Idax.

So, it's been a week since they've frozen deposits and withdrawals
And yet, the volume is flat, 700+ million in trade a day.

Common, who are they even trying to fool with this?
I'm starting to doubt they had more than 1-2 million in real trade volume to begin with.

Also, the irony, they still have this on their main page:

they runaway ! Please be careful don't hold your assets at exchange wallets,
sometime they say we got hacked or simply run away,

Lesson learned for me, cause I was too confident about exchanges like IDAX that they will not run away since they already have a reputation but I guess it is really hard since you are not holding any private key on it! IDAX was really good I am using it for less than a year but now I am totally rekt.

in crypto i think we can't believe on anyone or anything, There are so many other exchanges,
Latoken and P2Pb2b these may be next one,
i personally believe,
because they listing every single tokens/coins on their exchange they don't care if the project is scam or not,

i recommend to everyone withdraw your assets after trade

The IDAX Exchange's CEO evacuated the company, took away the cold wallet and disappeared. No one can contact the boss even the employees of the company.
Sadly I have some APL left in there and still on pending withdrawal.

IDAX exchange is not possible to scam it is just some of the problems that are being handled by this withdrawal I hope IDAX services fix this soon and users can withdraw their assets freely.
this does not seem to be a mild problem and can be solved as you imagine.
many things are too complicated to believe, starting with the CEO who lost with Cold Wallet and Hardwallet.
to the possibility that all staff have worked together to commit common crimes and fabricate the story that this is only the fault of a runaway CEO.
