Title: Compilation of all "Scam Accusations" threads related to exchanges Post by: Raja_MBZ on July 23, 2019, 10:30:16 PM Compilation of all "Scam Accusations" threads related to exchanges
Note: An accusation is not a major one if either it belongs to someone having less than 5 merits or it's not a part of personal funds at the exchange. Moreover, if there's any merit to any of the accusations, it'll be considered as major. So if you feel that you're seeing an accusation which is not being considered as major, just give that accusation a merit and it'll be counted as major.

Title: Re: Compilation of all "Scam Accusations" threads related to exchanges Post by: Raja_MBZ on August 15, 2019, 08:00:32 PM The note in OP has been updated, for better clarification of the difference in a major accusation and in just-another-accusation:
Quote Note: An accusation is not a major one if either it belongs to someone having less than 5 merits or it's not a part of personal funds at the exchange. Moreover, if there's any merit to any of the accusations, it'll be considered as major. So if you feel that you're seeing an accusation which is not being considered as major, just give that accusation a merit and it'll be counted as major.

I was planning to create an account there because I saw that they list several tokens I had lying around. A bit of research turned up several scam accusations on the forum and elsewhere:
1) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5138863.0 2) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5138863.msg50925601#msg50925601 3) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5159105.0 4) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4955146.0 5) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2674080.msg45891945#msg45891945 6) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2674080.msg53959745#msg53959745 There are also allegations that CoinBene was hacked last year (https://cointelegraph.com/news/over-100-million-missing-coinbene-claims-maintenance-a-month-of-questions-point-toward-a-hack). Instead of coming clean about it, they supposedly covered it up and put the affected wallets into maintenance mode permanently: Quote On Monday (March 25, 2019), there were massive outgoing transactions from CoinBene’s hot wallet to an unknown wallet that did not exist prior to that Monday. These transactions reportedly involved every single ERC-20 token (totaling 109) held by the company. Those tokens include huobipool token (HPT), pundi X (NPSX), maximine coin (MXM) and udoo (UDOO). The latter two will prove important later on in this narrative. The following day (March 26, 2019), Cointelegraph reported an announcement from CoinBene stating that the platform was undergoing maintenance. However, several reports were circulating at the time that the cryptocurrency exchange had been hacked. Quote On March 27, 2019, the day after CoinBene’s maintenance announcement, data scientists at Elementus — a blockchain infrastructure firm — published a report that described the fund transfers out of CoinBene’s hot wallet bore all the hallmarks of a hack. “After leaving CoinBene, the tokens were quickly moved into Etherdelta, where they were sold for ETH. A large amount of funds were also moved into centralized Exchanges, including Binance, Huobi, and Bittrex. The funds continue to move into exchanges as I write this.” The more I research, the worse things look for CoinBene. I would avoid this exchange like the plague!
