I had some coins there but would never ever send my ID to them and many others will not send KYC too. That means for those that did send KYC to the liquidators would get a larger chunk of their funds back but if the liquidators had to return their fees then it would allows victims that sent their ID to cover a good proportion of their funds.


If the liquidators have to return funds then that would be absolutely fantastic for the victims because it means those that applied for their funds to be returned will be getting a larger chunk. This is good news.

It is indeed.  Where the stumbling block is is G&T are wanting to ensure they have the "right" users by requiring anyone wanting to make a claim to undergo KYC regardless of whether or not they ever completed such a process via the Cryptopia website.  That's where the problem for most traders is, they may have had big wins or losses, but don't want to be identified (but still walk away with their burse).

I'm fairly sure I read that the Judge has ruled the funds are owned by the clients of Cryptopia and therefore G&T have to return those funds to the clients as opposed to bleeding the funds dry as some/most people contributing to this thread seem to think.

It'd be interesting to be a fly on the wall when Cryptopia's owners are presented with the bill to pay for G&T's services.

Banning them will not happen because the forum admin does not check for scams.

They use various sock-puppet accounts to pump their message and their propaganda, they alternate deliberately between fake accounts such as Cellerex, adidasler444, Dennicex, Pavel1988Pop and now newbie Orlova too.

 
Are there any chances to ban them here? At least their fake accounts?

Also they don't use COINSBIT.EXCHANGE account anymore, Cellerex is their main account now

Even though that is true, it would not be strange to see Trump win it because after all Obama won it regardless of the number of innocent civilians killed when he signed off permission for drone attacks.

The Nobel  Peace prize just has very little value for most people nowadays and it is dismissed as a gimmick.

Sadly they will not help you even if you managed to engage in chat with them because their primary function is to make money. They do not care about you or any of their victims because they see them as legitimate targets.

like my fate where all wd are pending and there are no support contacts that can be contacted,and no one can help me

So why do you think chances of Trump winning are probably slimmer than in the 2016 election? Even if he wins on the night he could lose when mail votes are counted and the same goes for Biden.

This one will end up in Court...

I think Trump can win but his chances are probably slimmer than the 2016 election. iirc 538 gave him a 1/4 chance of taking the election and Trump's margin of victory was ~50k votes in a handful of swing states.

If it were as simple as Ver paying an army of shills then surely there would be lots of people posting pro-BCH propaganda but in reality are there many fake accounts or many paid shills promoting BCH on social media?
6233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis: US Open 2020 on: September 09, 2020, 08:09:12 PM
I can understand why you disagree but the fact he unintentionally hit the line judge is not a valid argument. The fact remains he hit the ball behind him without looking where the ball was going and he had no reason whatsoever to do it and that is reckless behaviour according to the rules. If a player had done the same thing while in the middle of a rally while trying to get the ball back over the net to their opponent then it would have been never have resulted in him being disqualified.

The Grand Slam rules state: "Players shall not at any time physically abuse any official, opponent, spectator or other person within the precincts of the tournament site. The referee, in consultation with the Grand Slam chief of supervisors may declare a default for either a single violation of this code."

And the rulebook states players shall not hit the ball: "....dangerously or recklessly within the court, or with negligent disregard of the consequences"

As a result of this incident Djokovic has also been fined $10,000, he will also have to forfeit his $250,000 earnings in the US Open and he will also lose his ranking points earned in the tournament.

Thanks for the explanation, if we just take a look at the actions of Djokovic without any context of the rules the disqualification could excessive for anyone not acquainted with them, but after reading the text then it is obvious why he was disqualified, it is a shame this happened but he has no one else to blame but himself for this incident, but on the long term it should be not be too big of a deal, I think he already apologized, as he should, for this incident and all of this will just be a bad memory for him with no long term repercussions.
Those are the words from the actual rulebook so to be fair Djokovic had to be disqualified for the integrity of the rules to be upheld.


Doesn't seem that way to me.

John McEnroe stated that this will stay with him for the rest of his career.  The Bad Guy Djokovic. on CNN Sport.

They tried to compare a video from Federer few years back hitting the ball boy but it's definitely not the same.

Djok just have to shake it off and be careful on saying things on social media now to keep his fan base loyal. 
I agree with McEnroe, this will affect Djokovic especially if he fails to win another Grand Slam, he is 33 years old after all and he will probably never catch Nadal who is in #2 in overall Grand Slam wins and Djokovic will probably be unable to catch Federer who is #1 on all time Grand Slam wins. If that remains then it will haunt Djokovic because both Nadal and Federer were his biggest obstacles in the US Open this year but both decided to not participate.

Federer hit the ball to the ball boy in order for him to catch it but the net post was obscuring the view the ball boy and the ball hit his shoulder. If the kid was actually looking at the where Federer was hitting the ball then he would have caught it but he looked away after Federer hits it. Seems to me the net post blocking his eye line is the only explanation why he was hit but Federer did nothing against the rules hence why he was not fined or disqualified.

Democrats and Republicans both have their fringe elements to the extreme left and to the extreme right, neither made any rationale for a civil war though. There will be a problem with mailing votes but to which extent the loser of the election (either Trump or Biden) use it as a distraction or excuse remains to be seen.


What worries me is that it looks like the U.S. is headed for a civil war. ...

I'm not seeing any rationale for a civil war, except on the part of the Democrats and Left: "We want power! We want power and it doesn't matter the people won't give it to us!"

Eth is not meant to be a mode of payment. It is basically a smart contract platform currency.
High gas fee is not any hinderence in its growth


Bingo

They will still reduce them, but the sky is not falling

Here is the video clearly showing what Djokovic did. Disqualification was the only appropriate outcome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Aj4yEPL8qk


Good video, I wasn't able to find this yesterday.

It's funny that after I watched this video, Youtube's next recommended video was titled: Top 10 Oscar-Worthy ATP Tennis Moments!

LOL, definitely not a coincident.

But on the serious note, I feel bad for the Djok even though he couldn't avoid the disqualification if his Speech skill level is 100.

-Pho
I also feel for Djokovic, if he had won the tournament he would have closed the gap on Nadal and Federer for Grand Slams. He will have to wait to see if he will at 33 win another major, ever.


Jollygood, I fully agree with you. Rules need to be the same for everyone, even if you are number 1. All fellow tennis players also mentioned that disqualification was correct.

On a different note: impressive win of Elise Mertens against Kenin! Didn't expect it, but hopefully she can continue like this!
Kenin was so sure she would get through, most people would have had her as their favourite. The tournament this year has many surprises along with the long list of players that pulled out before it started.

This is such BS.  He wasn't even angry.  Have you seen the video? They have 10,000 cameras and they could find one with the ball hitting her face? come on now.  

He turned around and lightly hit the ball to the back.  His face was completely sincere when he saw her.  Pure honest mistake.  The Judge was such a drama queen with her All Star acting.
Here is the video clearly showing what Djokovic did. Disqualification was the only appropriate outcome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Aj4yEPL8qk


You might want to reread the rule provided by @JollyGood. Angry or not; Honest mistake or not, the act was reckless.
Yes it was a very reckless act and whether the line judge was exaggerating or not, Djokovic deserved to be disqualified because anything less than that would have been a travesty.


It is only afterwards that he defended the judge online. At first, he didn't really accept his disqualification given his 10 minute chat with the judge. For any other player, there wouldn't even be a discussion. Furthermore, he didn't went afterwards to the press conference, so I can understand these media headlines.
He tried his best to not get disqualified but he broke the rules and he deserved the $10,000 fine and deserves the fact his $250,000 earnings in the US Open will be withheld and he also deserves to lose his ranking points earned in the US Open tournament. That should serve as a deterrent to player that wants to break the rules.
