I logged in to my account.

My BTC is gone.

I look what happened.

No withdrawal.

But between 9/8 10:14 to 9/8 10:45 there are multiple trades on that account.

Someone that cannot withdraw money, repeatedly trade pair XMR BTCD. Buy at .44 sell at .33 or something. REPEATEDLY again and again and again until all the money is gone leaving a measly $14 on the account.

Must be done by BOT.

Be careful.

Poloniex froze my account. They must have seen what's going on.

It happens on 9/8. Now is 9/18. The account is buy and hold account. So I rarely check.

 Sorry for you loss, I  hope poloniex team will solve this issue, my suggestion for future , if you rarely checking account, just disable API access .

you trade use BOT, and why another people known your API
i hope youre problem solved, because several people get problem same with you

That's the worst ever thing one could do, and the worst thing that could happen actually happened in your case. I'm surprised no one pointed that out yet. :-\

Exchanges in no shape or form are wallets or accounts you can store your funds in for a longer period of time. These platforms are solely meant for trading purposes, where if you are done with trading, you withdraw all your funds back to your own wallet (one you as sole entity has access to).

I do feel bad for you though, it's the lack of knowledge and understanding of how fundamentally unsafe exchanges really are (regardless of how "regulated" they are) that made you lose out big time.

Get yourself a hardware wallet;

For obvious reasons only buy from the original web shops and not some third party sites.
