Let's see, 700 million$ a day trade volume exchange (which has numerous hiccups in the past) is not processing withdrawals so the next moment panic...
I'm not saying it's not an exit scam, a "hack" or anything else, but how the story is pictured in some media about the CEO firing employees, grabbing the cold storage keys on a stick and running an away seem a bit far fetched. It would also not match at all with the scenario of the police raiding their office either, this is China not Mexico, you don't disappear from the police there, they make you disappear!
Anyhow until now, we have rumors and a brief post from the exchange...
Dear IDAX users:
Recently, the demand for IDAX withdrawals has increased dramatically. The channel that causes the withdrawal of the mainstream currency is in a congested state. IDAX is reviewing the user's withdrawal requirements, please wait patiently.
Not a scam yet but also the last place I would want to have some funds sitting right now.
If anyone wants to read a good fantasy drama novel on this, here you go :
