TheIrishman : so you're doing all this for 0.001 BTC ?
Potentially screwing thousands of people who have real funds on Poloniex ?
Topic: Poloniex = Scam exchange beware. - page 11. (Read 41224 times)
Didn't the fact the coins on Poloniex are more then 10 times the value they should be with faked bot inflated volumes, would of been a serious clue for people that they doing some real dodgy shit.
When the coins they about to remove are announced they drop over 50% in value before the announcement is made. This is so all the insiders can sell off in time.
It is another cryptsy in the making. Wait a few more months.

After 27 hours of them illegally withholding assets that belong to me, I went to the contact page of the Delaware Attorney General to find his contact information. I then looked on Poloniex's site for their physical address and it only shows "Poloniex, Inc. 2017 - Wilmington, DE, USA".
Trying to find their complete physical address, I did a search for "Poloniex" on the SEC site, which raised a red flag - the SEC has the company registered as "Poloniex, LCC" and incorporated in Montana, with the physical address "1001 S. MAIN STREET SUITE 600 KALISPELL MT 59901".
A quick search on Google for "Poloniex, LLC" returned this very interesting reddit post from just 3 months ago among the first results (someone had made this research before me):
In a nutshell: their physical addresses, both in Delaware and in Montana, are of virtual offices provided by companies like Vcorp Services, whose site advertises "same day incorporation and LLC formations".
The reddit user who started that thread posted this reply to a comment that said this was "common business practice":

with the recent altcoin runup... with most of the volume on poloniex, i'm quite worried that poloniex is simply cryptsy 2.0.
they were only recently legally incorporated (2/9/2016), in delaware, by a "virtual office" called vcorp services.
https://www.delawarelookup.com/company/5959580/poloniex-inc
https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/ecorp/entitysearch/namesearch.aspx (look for poloniex)
their 'address' is again, a virtual office (see: https://poloniex.com/terms/content.php)
1013 centre road, suite 403b , wilmington, de, 19805
searching for this address results in millions of other 'corporations' at this address. with hundreds of millions of dollars in volume, you'd think they'd spring for a real office?
they claim to be registered with fincen. (see: https://poloniex.com/terms/content.php)
poloniex is registered with fincen as an msb (money services business), registration number 31000055869515. poloniex may be required to file details of account activity to this organization from time to time.
if you look up their msb number here: https://www.fincen.gov/msb-registrant-search there is no result.
there's a few other things like, particularly very little information on the owner. something stinks. the main thing that bothers me is the fact that they've been around so long yet still use virtual offices. we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars of volume, this isn't some new small business that can't afford a full blown office.
here's just a few 'legitimate businesses' that have the same physical address as poloniex.

edit: they were also registered as an llc in 2014, but this also was done by a virtual corporation service in montana.

this is acceptable for new businesses, just starting out and need to conserve money.
not so much when you're already dealing with millions of dollars. they claim to have offices in boston... but they don't seem to keen to share an address, so it could be bullshit, or another virtual office.
but don't worry, we can trust them with tens of millions of dollars. their physical address though must remain private, we can't be trusted with that.

24 hours and counting... Unbeliavable!
If you're lending, then you don't hold your coins, so in the event of a fork, you will only get back one of the forked coin. It's normal, there is no way to do it differently, since the coins are lent to other users, not to Poloniex.
I wonder what's the reason for the "awaiting approval" some of you are getting, what is your level ?
I'm only Level 1, have provided my info more than a month ago to get to level 2, but it's still processing.
Nonetheless I can withdraw instantly, 2000$ worth of BTC each day for the last 5 days. I want to get everything out before the 31st July to ride the mess (and go to vacation) without worries.

I'm level 2, fully verified. This didn't use to happen a few months ago, withdrawals would be propagated to miners right after I confirmed them. And I only use Poloniex for very small BTC amounts, usually to convert some alt coin into BTC.
guys i think its worse then we thought , i found this article , the guy is saying they did the same thing with ethereum fork ; if you guys a a bit wise , youll understand that they are doing the same now with bitcoin, i suggest everyone to rush a complaint to the sec that they arrest these guys asap

Fuck that shitty exchange. I requested a tiny withdrawal of 0.01 BTC and it's still in their "awaiting approval" state for over 8 hours already, meaning someone has to manually approve the request. Only after that the transaction will be broadcast. I opened a support ticket and it was summarily closed with an automated reply email saying that withdrawals may remain in that state for up to 24 hours - seriously???
My myriad is not withdrawn from 1.06.2017, the application is hanging, after the next ticket was written that the coin is delisting and they need to synchronize the wallet)), although before that 30 coins were withdrawn (there were several applications) from 90tys. In short, those trolls. I created a couple more tickets and they banned me from supporting))

They don't withdraw my money. Just get back my 1 ETH on my Poloniex account. ((
I didnt even read that on their ToS that using them as a wallet would really blocked your account. They do have a point and they have the rights but they should really announce it or make it clear into their potential users because it cant really be avoided on some people that they would use an exchanged for the sake on depositing and withdrawing funds. Just like what i did on coinbase until now i didnt experience any problems on it. "Dear Pavel,

funds where coming from bitstamp, and the coin on bitstamp were bought with a wire transfer from my bank account , i had an answer from them 4 days ago telling me they are forwarding to an agent to look for missing funds . Again it take 5 min to see they took it, i actually had more problem then i thought with this situation, it even hit my credit big time , i still dont have my money and im thinking we should all get a major lawsuit like kraken , even mtgox dood is having charge . Violence might make them understand but will cost way more then 50-100 k as already some people contacted me for this but we can all get together and make a lawsuit against them
what do you guys think about it ?
what do you guys think about it ?
Poloniex had issues with their SC wallet a month and a half ago... just as I transferred 2000 coins. They never showed up on the wallet (transaction is perfectly logged on the blockchain though). 3 (unanswered) tickets and almost 2 months later, still nothing.
These guys are fucking thieves in my book. I haven't traded with them since.

Instead of making wild threats, contact the police. Then contact poloniex to advise them that you have made an official report to the police.
no, we are not in a wild wild west but its what need to happen as those guys will fuck us all, and im going forwarrd with it, the money they stole cause me all kind of problem and if they dont refund like yesterdfay, they dont give me any choice
They seem to be taking 2-4 weeks to answer support tickets, instead of going in a frenzy how about you wait for them to get to you.

wait a minute. Loss of 4K can cause you problems, but you can provide 50K anytime to anyone who kills the head of polo? It just doesn't make sense to me.
