Among other things that the users are experiencing - the exchange owner hasn't even paid my dues amounting to ~33 BTC for the 2.25 yrs I worked at c-cex ! (left a couple of years earlier - I'm guessing some older folks here would still recognize me). The owner simply refuses to even talk about it after swindling me for my years of work. I never bought this up until now but (just noticed XVG situation and how it was being resolved - yes you guessed it right, I don't use c-cex anymore and don't intend to) I think users should know about this and make an opinion for themselves, even though it wouldn't count for much I presume - just trying to set the record straight and in public view here, more than anything else.
I had hoped and even messaged the owner earlier about users not being happy with the way things were run - but no response (talking months back - my last interaction with Yuriy). It is sad to see what c-cex has become - when in fact I had helped run it along with Yuriy since approx 1 month after the exchange went live. In fact I was among the original 3 people along with Yuriy, who first helped establish c-cex the exchange that it came to be. We, back then, always made it a priority to try to resolve support issues as soon as we could. Judging by the recent posts here - seems like supoort service has gone down the drain.
Couple of years back c-cex, had the exchange taken a few key decisions - it would have been among the top exchanges of the world today ! But sigh ..... Anyways, I hope for the users that they are treated fairly and complaints are resolved.
Another interesting fact - I used to earlier represent the exchange in chat as "Gridcoiner" which was later changed to "Finch" - just to make users believe there was someone new in their place. It was the same person - me. So, while that is largely irrelevant now - I hope it highlights to the users how the exchange operates. I apologize for that on my part - I should not have engaged in such a deception tactic for marketing/innovation gimmicks.
Lastly, something the older users should know - the owner had taken a snapshot of the accounts to claim BitcoinCash (BCH) when the fork had happened (as a matter of fact the guy had no idea about BitcoinCash when I had mentioned it to him !! I didn't expect such ignorance in all honesty). So the older users should rightfully claim it from Yuriy - it belongs to the users who had any btc in their accounts back then.
PS: I had helped develop the customer support service answers as well, among other things that I did - funnily enough I still see parts of customer support service using the exact phrases I had put in there to reply to customers, sometimes even incorrectly !
PS2 : I usually don't use this btctalk account anymore, so pardon me if I am unable to reply to this soon - life is fairly busy these days.
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate. Do you think there's a option to stop Yuriy? And did you tell the authority that he is a thief? Man, he owe you 33K!!
