Exactly, Xavofat. So one thing should be clear: Even if GDAX does not support BCC, a court should be able to order them to allow withdrawals of BCC, should it emerge as a viable altcoin. I mean surely the nice folks at Coinbase are not thinking to themselves, "Let's just tell our customers, whose funds we have been entrusted with, that we are not going to support BCC, so we can then just withdraw all the BCC connected to customer funds held by us in BTC and get rich off it." 

A couple of days ago, I had withdrawn all the money I could from Poloniex, and the only thing remaining in my account were the two withdrawals they had been holding hostage ("Awaiting Approval") for a few weeks. I opened up maybe 5 new tickets, referencing the old ticket numbers, and basically telling them that I was going to sue and that, at this point, there was also grounds to start criminal proceedings. Those new tickets were all marked closed within hours, without a single response to me. But, lo and behold, about a day later, they simply processed the withdrawals that had been "Awaiting Approval." Therefore I am glad to report I was lucky enough to actually get all my money out of Poloniex. Needless to say, they are never going to see a penny of mine again. Good luck to those of you whose funds are still being illegaly withheld by Poloniex. Be vocal, organize, hit them hard.

How about we start a crowdfunding effort to hit Poloniex really hard? We hire a lawyer who knows how to get things done. First we get all their assets frozen, but do it the right way. Have the FBI raid all their locations and simultaneously arrest all the owners/officers to make sure the coins stay safe until the legal proceedings are done. I believe this kind of fraud is probably criminal, so we can seize the assets of the individuals connected to Poloniex as well as all company assets. This way we should be able to recover a significant portion of the money we're all out. Anyone with some legal experience want to help?

Can anyone give me an opinion/advice on my situation?

I still have almost $30k worth of cryptocurrencies sitting in my Poloniex account, so it should be possible to get a lawyer to take my case, shouldn't it?

Here's what has happened so far:

I tried to increase my withdrawal limit about a month ago, but of course it's still pending, so I've been withdrawing $2k roughly every 24 hours and fortunately was able to get about $50k out without any major hiccups.

Now, though, Poloniex has started setting my withdrawals to "awaiting approval" like lots of other people's. I opened a support ticket (#285555), but of course there was no response, just the automated email, and of course the status of the support ticket was set to "awaiting MY response" immediately. Fun fun fun!

It seems to me that, given this situation, a court should already consider it reasonable to award a judgment for my balance plus legal fees. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance for your input.
