Topic: Poloniex "Awaiting Approval" Withdrawals (Read 7504 times)
A couple of days ago, I had withdrawn all the money I could from Poloniex, and the only thing remaining in my account were the two withdrawals they had been holding hostage ("Awaiting Approval") for a few weeks. I opened up maybe 5 new tickets, referencing the old ticket numbers, and basically telling them that I was going to sue and that, at this point, there was also grounds to start criminal proceedings. Those new tickets were all marked closed within hours, without a single response to me. But, lo and behold, about a day later, they simply processed the withdrawals that had been "Awaiting Approval." Therefore I am glad to report I was lucky enough to actually get all my money out of Poloniex. Needless to say, they are never going to see a penny of mine again. Good luck to those of you whose funds are still being illegaly withheld by Poloniex. Be vocal, organize, hit them hard.
Today my ticket has been resolved and I get my money. Moreover, I withdraw and it's completed in few seconds (ETH)
Here is what I did.
Setup 2FA. Change to Netherlands IP using Opera browser VPN. Go to this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/6foeqy/exchange_issues_megathread_poloniex/ submit your reply with the form like other people. I waited for 1 week then today they reply my ticket.
Good luck.

I tried now to withdraw 13.37 LTC and it worked in no time. But I'll make more tests.

How about we start a crowdfunding effort to hit Poloniex really hard? We hire a lawyer who knows how to get things done. First we get all their assets frozen, but do it the right way. Have the FBI raid all their locations and simultaneously arrest all the owners/officers to make sure the coins stay safe until the legal proceedings are done. I believe this kind of fraud is probably criminal, so we can seize the assets of the individuals connected to Poloniex as well as all company assets. This way we should be able to recover a significant portion of the money we're all out. Anyone with some legal experience want to help? 
And you would be screwing the majority of people using poloniex without trouble. Good plan !
I'd start making the assumption that whatever Poloniex is currently doing, it's likely an exit scam like you mention. They've been holding a pending withdrawal of mine hostage for nearly 1.5 weeks. See the link below. This hasn't been approved despite the Poloniex customer policy of manually approving within 24 hours.
Here's a link that demonstrates my transaction detail:

Here's the link that demonstrates that Poloniex is a complete lie:

Unfortunately, there's no support and when the team does finally reach you, they don't discuss the topic at hand, rather, they direct you to the resources section on support that doesn't help at all...

Same here tried to withdraw 4 ETH it says Transaction complete, but the ETH never showed up in EtherDelta. I opened a ticket 14 hours ago never heard back ETH never showed up.
They have disabled withdrawal and deposit for ETH, since it is in the Awaiting Approval then these money frozen until they make a decision (give it back or release to the address you have put) but instead of doing this next time it's better to convert in another coin and then withdraw.
If this is true, why not give a warning when I try to make a transfer out? /rhetoricalQuestion
I was just trying to buy something with 0.3 ETH, three days ago. Now I'm thinking it might be wise to get everything out. But in what format? BTC & ETH are really all I care about, and both are seeing delays?
I would love to know if a service like Shapeshift sees this and adjusts which exchanges they use on the backend.

They are doing this for BTC withdrawals too. Just saw a case where a user couldn't receive his amount less than 0.01 btc as it was awaiting approval since 1-2 days. Why are they manually approving transactions and delaying it? To save network fee?

I think I read on Poloniex that they have halted any trades in Eth due to it being unstable.

I'm in this situation too. No way to get my money out of the platform. Ironically some people still can withdraw in minutes. I don't understand why.
Just wait for it and be patient it will not be instant withdrawal but would not take you 1 hour of waiting. Or else you set you poloniex account to verify first to your email so the transaction will go through and to be completed.
