Topic: P2PB2B Scam!! Selling coins they don't have, wash trading, fraud and theft! - page 3. (Read 2214 times)

I did receive my BTC back for this reversed trade and immediately withdrew it from this exchange for obvious reasons. The issue is that because of P2PB2B not being able to solve this problem or even disclose it for weeks, Hempcoin is actually waiting on them to enable and execute withdrawals in order to migrate to the Komodo platform and perform their swap.

It will not matter to them that I executed this trade about 3 weeks ago in preparation for this swap and am now left with 0 ability to reacquire this position. That is, unfortunately, my problem and besides the point.

The bigger issue is the fact that they are trying to cover this up and reverse trades from 3 weeks ago to fix a mistake they made a few months ago. There has been no transparency or honesty coming from their end and this alone raises many red flags.

Another issue, many exchanges that get hacked are due to a new coin being introduced with malicious code or some sort of back door programmed in.

If they can't even set up Hempcoin properly and are sending free coins to users, allowing users to withdraw and spend these coins, mixing this whole mess in with legitimate trades and transactions, reversing trades from weeks ago, blocking, banning, and lying to "customers" to cover it up...  

How safe are your holdings with this company?

With the number of coins they are signing up on a daily basis, apparently whoever pays the fee, do you believe they have the technical capability to properly vet these projects and ensure your funds are safe?

I am fairly certain in the next couple of days/weeks I will see the rest of my legitimate trades reversed from 3 weeks ago and anticipate losing my entire position on this trade which again was 2.6 million (1% of the circulating supply).

Terrible experience with these guys.

Did you get your BTC back? I.e. are you able to withdraw, not just see it in your account?

After a more thorough investigation with other Hempcoin users, it appears that this may be a matter of technical incompetence that has put users funds at risk.

From what I have seen it appears that P2PB2B made a technical error with regards to the staking feature and have been sending free Hempcoins to users. Some of these users withdrew their free coins or sold them for BTC and now due to complete incompetence on their end they do not have the balance to cover legitimate pending withdrawals.

Instead of eating these losses due to their own incompetent tech team, they have decided to rollback legitimate trades from parties not involved in this tech error and canceling their orders from 2.5 weeks ago.

Additionally, instead of admitting their mistake, they have pretended that a fraudulent transaction took place. Here is their response to my support ticket.

"One of your buy orders from 2019-06-14 20:27:17 THC_BTC amounting to 565 343 THC was reverted in order to help you to avoid any financial losses. We discovered that THC`s, which the seller sold you during this deal, were obtained in a result of fraud. The amount of BTC you spent for this deal was credited to your account."

A quick check of any Hempcoin holders deposit history on P2PB2B will clearly show free coins being deposited over the last few months (appears to be from May 20th to June 2nd) and will look something like this.



To display this level of technical incompetence is a massive issue itself for any exchange.

To then lie to your users and try to cover your mistake instead of taking responsibility for your actions is shameful and it is no wonder they are using a Belize and Seychelles setup for the incorporation of their business. Only companies looking to avoid lawsuits or legal action would set up this type of infrastructure.

P2PB2B are incompetent from a technical and security standpoint and also lack the integrity and business ethics to handle other peoples money in my opinion.

To clarify* My account was never sent any free Hempcoins and my trades and attempted withdrawal are 100% legitimate and accurate. I did not even create an account with P2PB2B until June 12th and have nothing to do with these technical issues.

I recently purchased a large amount of Hempcoin from P2PB2B and after trying to withdraw from my fully verified account and after successfully sending a 600 Hempcoin test transaction, I tried to withdraw my remaining balance.

The number of coins I tried to withdraw was 2.6 million (1% of the entire circulating supply)

This withdraw was delayed and showed a status of needing withdrawal from the cold wallet. This was on the 28th of June.

After waiting patiently for 3 days I contacted them through tickets, live help, and Telegram. They kept sending me the same reply on all channels "please wait". I waited another 24 hours and contacted them again, they reacted by blocking me on Telegram and disabling my ability to contact them through live help.

I reached out to Hempcoin developers, who I have known for years and work closely with, and I was informed that he was also facing a similar problem and could not withdraw his coins either.

P2PB2B then took the Hempcoin wallet offline and disabled deposits and withdrawals.

After waiting nearly two weeks I log in today to check my balance and 600k coins are missing from my balance and I receive an email saying "Hello. Due to the discovery of the sale of unauthorized coins, one of your purchase transactions in the pair THC_BTC was rolled back."

I have been a coin dev since 2014 and have had trading accounts with many of the most popular exchanges. I have never had a withdrawal delayed for 2 weeks and never had trades that I made rolled back by an exchange because they don't have the balance to cover their trades.

I am accusing this exchange of theft, wash trading, and selling assets that they do not even own. Has anyone else experienced issues with this criminal operation?
