Most of these exchanges are big and they have millions of clients. Obviously no one is perfect. When you have millions to deal, there will be always a percentage who will be mismanaged. I am not saying this will justify the victims but we can not ignore the fact too.
Yeah, I check recent incidents from time to time, as some of them are returning funds at the end.
But temporality does matter: for example, we can see that Kraken has already solved the case, whereas in (about) two months HTX still hasn't done anything about the 1500 XMR. Even taking into account their large customer base, this is clearly an abuse, even if it only concerned 0.1% of their users, it shouldn't exist at all.
The fact of accumulating as many of these incidents as possible (which themselves should represent only a small percentage of the total number of incidents that are not communicated online) in this list will make it easier to know for which exchange this is a deliberated part of their business model, and which exchange has "only" isolated/occasional problems.
In the long term, it will be interesting to see who is often mentioned in the list, and who is never!

Not sure who will be the trolls in such a good topic but anyway.

Personally I have very conservative impression for Changelly, ChangeNOW.
I am not much familiar with Cripto Intercambio, HTX, Quickex.io, Paytiz so there are no opinion about them from me.
Kraken, Kucoin, FixedFloat, Binance and some others never been created any negative image in my mind (until now).

Crypto Swap Exchange
It will be useful to have a thread that aggregates all legitimate reports of various abuses and bad practices of crypto exchanges, such as: - KYC shotguns from "Non-KYC exchanges"- Frozen funds/accounts because of reasons not specified in the conditions of use/ToS - Frozen funds due to the use of risk-scoring tools that give dubious/false AML scores (like AMLBot for example) - KYC requested by a non-registered company - Other abuses.. The goal here is to keep track of reports, posts and threads published on the Internet on this subject, as they are too often deleted and poorly indexed. For a complaint post to be credible/added to this table, there must be sufficient indication of the nature of the problem, and evidence that the situation cited is real. The table below classifies the various incidents by date. I'll continue to add to this table as I find new information, and with the new incidents that appear regularly. All users are welcome to report their case here, or if they have already shared their case in Scam Accusations to post the link of their thread there, it would help us to have the most complete list possible, and thus provide our community with an overview of these incidents, giving us the means to know how some exchanges are acting against their users' interests. |
