I'll remember June 6th. Exactly 6 months ago.

That day, Poloniex stole 1,800 BTC from its customers, and I was one of them.
We got about a tenth back, and then nothing.

The company acknowledged it did wrong, and promised we would all get all our money back, but we're still waiting.

And yet, many things have changed.
Poloniex has moved twice, first to the Carribbean, then to the Seychelles.

The company has been split. Part of it will be renamed Polo Digital Assets for US customers, and it's still owned by Circle, while another part, the part which deals with non-US customers has been bought by Justin Sun, which then bought Tron Network’s Biggest Non-Custodial Exchange. That new company will give service under the name of PoloniDex (if I've understood it right).

I don't know who is that Justin Sun guy, but if he's honest, the first thing on his agenda should be to correct Poloniex's image problem, which is down the hole since the company stole its customers.

Mr Sun, do you hear me?

I think this problem is quite difficult. You know, Tron has a very large community and they totally trust Justin Sun's activities. But his acquisition of part of the Poloniex exchange does not mean that he will intend to return all of that bitcoin to the user. they will have a trick to prolong the situation because they know that we are from different countries and have no right to sue them. it is better that you do not hope anymore and give it up to relax the soul.

I never liked Poloniex as an exchange, but I didn't realize how shady they were and probably still are, though it sounds like the US-based version is a little less shady....?

i wouldn't say that. it was actually under circle's ownership that poloniex screwed margin lenders out of that 1800 BTC.

at this point, poloniex has effectively shut down in the USA. the USA entity is still owned by circle, but trading ended and they are in withdrawal-only mode: https://poloniexus.circle.com/

This guy Justin Sun sounds like a complete tool, and that's putting it mildly.  It just furthers my belief that most bigwigs in crypto are dishonest charlatans.  It's almost disheartening to contemplate.

he's all about marketing. everything he does is disingenuous. poloniex listed TRX right when this deal happened---now it's obvious why. he bought it as a platform to pump his coin.

Sorry to hear that.  I remember the thread you linked to, but I didn't read it closely at the time and just skimmed through it now.  Unbelievable.

You ain't getting shit.
Yeah, I'm sure you're right.  This guy Justin Sun sounds like a complete tool, and that's putting it mildly.  It just furthers my belief that most bigwigs in crypto are dishonest charlatans.  It's almost disheartening to contemplate.

Mr Sun, do you hear me?

Thanks for the reminder. I was completely fooled when he initially denied being involved in the Poloniex buyout. I missed the subsequent headline: Despite Denials, Tron Founder Confirms Investment in Poloniex Crypto Exchange

He's obviously trying to distance himself from their managerial decisions. He tweeted this a few days ago:
Quote
Poloniex's decisions are made by the team independently. As a humble investor of Poloniex, I respect and support their decision.

It doesn't sound like appealing to him will go very far.

Your country may be your worst enemy
I know very well what happened to me, but I'm not complaining about my case anymore (my previous topic had that goal), what's wrong here, is that Poloniex keeps on going like nothing happened.

And things do not look like they will get any better for customers with that Chinese guy in charge.

Don't know how it was before but right now poloniex is officially owned by a scammer and that scammer is busy with delisting some shitcoin because its dev called Justin "a scammer."

See the picture?

You have been pwned.
