Title: CEX.IO: Bankwire not completed after 90 days
Post by: GeneralJarmen on April 17, 2018, 08:42:19 AM
On 13 January 2018, I bankwired US$10,000 to CEX. CEX rejected the bankwire stating the reference number was incorrect and told they would refund my amount.
Till 17 April, over 90 days, the amount has not been credited.

Despite several followups with CEX, they have not provided any proof of attempt to transfer my money. Everytime they have responded with "please be patient", "our Finance Department is working on this" or "the issue will be escalated".

My bank in the UAE told me that CEX's bank in Poland has confirmed that CEX account is blocked due to prosecution decision. To me it's irrelevant. All I need is my $10,000 back in my account.

Your assistance is highly appreciated.

I would recommend letting this person (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=148073) know about the issue, and hopefully he is able to resolve it for you directly. If you are not able to PM him due to newbie restrictions, then post on their thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=318010.0

CEX has had a lot of issues with fiat withdrawals in the past, so they've definitely got a history with this kind of problems.

They most likely couldn't transfer the money because of the fact that their bank account has issues, even though I don't know if that's true or not. In that case, they'll have to sort out the bank related issues first before they can send you anything.

BTW, why not post on your original account ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1446150)?

Till date, it has been almost 6 months, and I have not received my money yet.
There's no concrete update from CEX. Enough of my patience and understanding.

Dear GeneralJarmen,

We are sorry that investigation is taking so long.

We ask you to understand that such investigation is a complicated process, involving payment providers, thus it is a time-consuming procedure.

Please rest assured that your transaction would be credited to your CEX.IO account or will be returned to your bank account eventually.

I am in the same boat with a deposit of 5k.   I provided CEX with a MT103 forum and all the information they requested. They are saying they didn't received the money, but my bank can prove it went into their account. Is there any ongoing lawsuits going on with CEX?

Just an update that I received my money back on 28 June (~150 days after initial refund). From the original $10,000, I received $9917 ($83 for bank fees due to multiple attempts). According to CEX, they attempted to transfer on 1 Feb, 6 March, 31 May, and finally on 7 June which was successful.

No complaints. I am glad I got it back.
