It's very simple, as a trader there, take your loss and move on to a different exchange. I know these are easy words, but eventually you'll be happy you have done so. This exchange messed up and they don't take responsibility for the damage they have been causing. Instead, they punch people in the face and say f-you, we'll use the funds of you guys to make up for the major loss.
